Visa Fraud Alert: India Christian Ministries
Although Christianity is slowly losing relevance in the USA (it has already lost much relevance in Western Europe), Christian organisations still maintain power by harnessing the power of social media and data analysis powerhouses like Cambridge Analytica to microtarget individuals to snare them into their trap. Thereby ensuring their churches always have fresh bodies sitting in their pews, their children will continue to remain in the cult, and that they have a ready voter bloc always to vote for their preferred party. India already suffers from the problem of the monolithic voter bloc formed by adherents of the *other* Abrahamic religion. And in certain parts of India like the Northeast, Tamil Nadu and increasing Andhra Pradesh, Christians are emerging as a voter bloc over which the church holds sway. We have caught India Christian Ministries, which has on its board a founder of a similar organisation to Cambridge Analytica:

India Christian Ministries has a business address in Dana Point, California, USA. On its board are Leighton Ford, who has a ministry of his own, Os Guiness, a Christian apologist and David Young, the founder and chairman of Oxford Analytica, and a former participant in the infamous Watergate scandal. Oxford Analytica is an analysis firm, similar to Cambridge Analytica. It has not been in the public eye for all the wrong reasons like Cambridge Analytica, but we have reason to believe even Oxford Analytica may also use data in a way to benefit Christian missionary organisations and churches. If the founder is on the board of a missionary organisation, that is reason enough. Their mission statement is blatant:
We’re making and mobilizing disciples of Christ to transform lives in India through the Church, Child Discipleship and Community Development.
India Christian Ministries runs a church planting project, which it calls Operation Saturation. It also runs Covenant School of Apostolic Ministries, which trains “native” missionaries. It also runs orphanages and children’s homes, for the explicit aims of child evangelism. Finally, it uses clean water initiatives, setting up income generating activities and medical/dental camps for conversion purposes. It also hosts foreign volunteers who go to India to support these operations.
Whatever visa these people hold in India, they are in violation of the terms and conditions of the visa. If they hold a missionary visa, visa holders cannot use it for proselytizing and can only join a missionary organization APPROVED by the government of India. In order to be approved by the government of India to operate within the country, an organization must receive a certificate indicating it is compliant with the Foreign Contributions Regulatory Act. If they hold a tourist visa, they can only use it for non-business purposes, such as tourism or visiting family and friends. Given that MICM openly admits to concealing evidence that they violate the FCRA, their organisation should lose their certification.

Once again, we humbly request you also file a complaint as an individual; you can do so at this link. We will be regularly updating you on the complaints we file against Christian organizations that subvert Indian laws to further their aims, and we ask you to do your part. We also humbly request you like this post, and share this post with friends and family. Let them know what missionaries are doing. Remember, complaints are listened to by the government, more than social media posts. Your complaints will help in getting FCRA certificates cancelled and these organizations permanently blacklisted!
We published a guide to filing complaints, which you can view HERE. You have a lot more power than you think you do; even missionaries are starting to take notice and they are getting worried.
Jai Maa Kaali!
