Dr. Emmanuel Damara M.Th., Ph.D. brings a new frontier to ABMI. We are so privileged to extend our Mission arms into the Nation of India in association with Dr. Damara and Grace Community Baptist Church (GCBC), located in Sikh Village, Secunderabad.

Dr. Damara is the founder and Pastor  of GCBC. He established GCBC in a rented house in 1995. With the Lord's blessings purchased property near by and dedicated a new church facility on December 3, 2006, where there is currently a flourishing and productive church family. He obtained his Master's in Theology from Georgia Baptist Seminary in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. His Ph.D. is in Philosophy of Religion from Central University of Hyderabad. He and his wife Elsa Rachel have been blessed with two children, Son Kenneth Joel and daughter Karen Rebecca.

ABMI and GCBC partnered with a shared burden to reach the people of India with the Gospel of Christ. Our philosophy is to equip the nationals with training and tools to reach their own people. In January 2008 we inaugurated a Pastor's College. Pastors of remote village churches and new church starts spend one week per month at GCBC studying and being grounded in the doctrines of the Bible .

In addition we partner in church construction, Bible distribution ,well drilling, feeding programs for the poor and evangelistic campaigns.
