This book is meant to be a squeaky wheel to bring up the issue of Indigenous Missions in India. It also reflects Author’s wide experience, insights and passion for the Mission of God. This factual and figurative presentation is going to be a manual for all those who passionately follow the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ meaningfully to the South Asian individuals and communities with relevance and sensitivity so that they could undergo a spiritual rebirth and pave their way towards revealing the Divine.

The author emphasises that conscientization model deals with the root cause of the oppressed and empowers the individual to realize his/her state. This model can be applied to any society to bring liberation in socio, political and economic contexts of the oppressed people.

This well-researched, compassionate, and ground breaking book is for those who have a real concern for indigenous people.
