Incorporated in the state of Texas in 2011, Grow Gospel Initiatives is a tax-exempt, non-profit trust. With its office in Richardson, Texas, it is governed by a board of trustees with William J Subash as its chief point person.
We initiate new churches, start mercy centers, promote online biblical education, and educational tours. Our church plants and mercy centres happen in south Asia.
We train church planters through a yearlong program followed by a one- to two-year paid internship at Crossroad Church Bangalore or one of our church plants. Afterward, they move to the city they feel called to, where Grow Gospel Initiatives supports them for three to five years. This model has led to new churches in Bangalore, New Delhi, Kathmandu, Mokokchung, Vizag, and Chandigarh.
Online Bible Institute
A new library of accessible, gospel-centered theology courses is on its way—designed for everyday believers, leaders, and learners across South Asia and beyond.
Grow Mercy Initiatives began during the pandemic as a holistic child development program with a vision to launch Mercy Centers across India. Our mission is summed up in FELT: Feed children daily with one nutritious meal, Educate them through school sponsorships and after-school programs, Love them and their families unconditionally, and Transform families and communities for lasting impact.
Non Formal Bible Training
Since 2012, we have been equipping church-planting aspirants, church leaders, and rural pastors through a yearlong, non-formal Bible and leadership training program. We use the Training Center for Church Planters (TCCP) curriculum, originally developed in North America and now available in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Hindi, and Nepali. Each year, an average of 150–200 participants complete the course. This program is offered free of cost, fully sponsored by TCCP, Texas.
Study Trips
Grow Gospel Initiatives organizes educational mission trips from North America and Canada to South Asia, offering participants the chance to experience the region’s culture firsthand. We are working to have these trips, which range from 11–15 days, recognized for high school and college credit. In addition, we host biannual Bible tours to Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, and Greece, helping Christians study Scripture in its original geographical and cultural context.
