Joseph Hiwale
Principal
God is faithful in His calling and vision to fulfil His Mission on this earth. God intends that we gather the great harvest in this generation by reaching the unreached and teaching the untaught.
As a part of what God is doing by His Spirit worldwide, He has called Koinonia College of Theology to raise up Godly shepherds and servant leaders with His Word.
Here, men and women from different parts of India and the world gather together to develop the character, charisma and commitment by studying and living the Word of God.
As you are praying make sure that you hear the voice of God as you make life’s most important decision. And remember, “The Harvest is plenty but the laborers are few” God is waiting for you. May God bless you richly with His abundant love and grace!
