Our History

The Indian Missionary Movement (IMM) was founded in 1974 by our revered Father Bishop, the Most Rev. Dr. M. Ezra Sargunam. By the grace of God and through the prayers and support of countless families, we are celebrating 2024 as our Golden Jubilee year. Over the past five decades, IMM has grown into a powerful force for missions, ministering in 21 states across India. Our work focuses on reaching 50 different tribal groups, with 1,301 dedicated missionaries sharing the Word of God and transforming lives.

Our Mission

Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the unreached, particularly among the tribal communities of India. We are committed to:

• Evangelism and Church Planting: Establishing new churches and spreading the Gospel in remote and underserved areas.

• Education: Providing quality education to tribal children, with 1,400 Malto tribal children currently enrolled in our schools.

• Community Development: Empowering communities through vocational training, such as our Annai Mangalam Tailoring School, which has trained and provided tailoring machines to Jharkhand, Bihar, and Javadhu Hills, Tamil Nadu.

• Leadership Training: Equipping missionaries and preachers through partnerships with organizations like the Evangelical Church of India – Every Community for Christ.
