In 1973, a visionary leader named Prakash Guruputra and his wife Susheela embarked on a journey as a missionary to India, armed with deep faith and burning desire to serve his community. Hailing from a small village in India he established a church planting ministry, children’s home for the needy, and Christian school, all of which had a profoundimpact on the community.

Honoring our legacy missionaries is a priority for BMA Global, and whether deceased or alive, learning from their lives and ministries is important to their incredible legacies. Through family testimonies, archived articles, and ministry partner stories, understanding the ongoing work in their former fields impacts future generations.

Since 1950, BMA missionaries have been sent to foreign fields, leaving a legacy of faith, perseverance, and obedience to the call to serve. Sometimes those fields are fraught with danger, but the men and women of the BMA are more likely to run into the fire rather than away from it. Why? Because that’s where the lost souls are.

Our view of culture many times is the same. We really do not understand culture, even our own culture . . . we just swim in it. For this reason, often we are unknowingly dominated by our culture. The greater culture infiltrates our churches in ways contrary to scripture. We do not know how to speak the gospel into current culture, and we are imprisoned in antiquated methods that reflect a culture from times gone by.
