Rescuing Lives inIndia
PassionLife's Impact
We train local pastors and leaders in biblical ethics with the goal of launching a national movement that rescues unborn lives and leads mothers to find salvation in Christ.
The Challenge
Until recently, Cuba had the highest abortion rates per capita worldwide. Now, India holds the first place, vying for our attention.
The high abortion rate in India is, to a great degree, caused by gender-selective abortions. Giving birth to a girl in India is considered a liability, since a large dowry is expected to marry off one’s daughter. According to The Guardian, “India is estimated to have 63 million fewer women since sex determination tests took off in the 1970s.” If this trajectory continues, researchers estimate that gender-selective abortion of girls will lead to 6.8 million fewer female births across India by 2030.
Our success in India depends on changed hearts and minds regarding the value of all human life, regardless of gender.
The missionary, William Carey (1761-1834), stared at the stronghold of India and declared: “Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God!”
Our Strategy
Teaching the 4 Questions in a biblical, logical, and concise manner leads to the following outcomes:
- The treasuring of human life
- The rejection of abortion
- The proclamation of the Gospel, including Christ’s forgiveness, resulting in freedom from guilt.
- The rescuing of unborn babies by reaching one mother at a time.
Our strategy is to encourage rapid replication of our teaching content so that mothers and babies are rescued from abortion and come to faith in Christ.
The Church as an Army of Good Samaritans
Once the leadership is trained in the 4 Questions, their churches are taught to mobilize and rescue mothers and babies through counseling, support ministries, pregnancy centers, post-abortion care, and other initiatives. Ultimately, families are transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Latest News
Since India is the country with the highest abortion rate in the world, the Indian people are one of Passionlife’s primary focuses. Eight years ago, Rev. Amit Paul organized our first 4 Questions training in his hometown of Kolkata and has been our regional representative ever since, replicating the 4 Q training among pastors in India and Nepal.
As a direct result of PassionLife’s work in India, the first pregnancy center was opened within the past year. Recently, PassionLife has had the privilege of seeing the diverse group of prolife leaders in India begin to cooperate and coordinate their efforts in saving the unborn and their mothers. Our 4 Q training has become a means of accelerating their work.
Please pray for us as we seek to determine a cohesive national strategy for reaching pastors, form strategic relationships with mainline denominations, and hire a full-time US-based coordinator for all our Asian initiatives, including India.
