Longmont Church of Christ Liaison:
Byron Elrod

Paul, a native of Kottara, India, found a better way when he was converted to Christ in 1970. Having been disowned by his Hindu family, he had began studying at Faith Theological Seminary (1970-1972) and at Southern Asia Bible College in (1973-1975).
In 1976, he began teaching at Siloam Bible College and preached full-time for the church at Sanatorium.

For 28 years, Paul has traveled over much of India, establishing churches as he goes. Early on, as the number of his converts and churches grew, he realized the need for the training of new converts who wanted to become ministers. This led to his establishing the World Bible College in Chennai. Through Paul’s and Dorothy’s tireless work, the Church of Christ in India has grown from its four members of 1985 to over 40,000 today.

In addition to the Bible College (now educating 100 ministers per year), Paul’s mission efforts include: a Mobile Health Clinic, Mobile Gospel Teams, eight Children’s Homes, a wheelchair distribution service, and a free elementary and high school for the Untouchables and others unable to afford education in India, and a wide distribution of free Bibles and hymnals.

Individual members of the Longmont Church of Christ have been helping the Renganathans since 1990, and the elders have allocated money from church funds for his support since 1993. If you would like to know more about this work, please contact the Renganathans’ liaison.
