History
The Hindustan Bible Institute was established in 1952 by the late Dr. Paul V. Gupta, a Brahmin convert. His Hindu family rejected him, and while still a teenager he became an itinerant evangelist. He felt the call of God to surrender his life for the purpose of reaching the people of India for Christ, and in particular to start a Bible college. Although he had never completed high school, God miraculously enabled him to gain admittance to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (Biola), permission to move his young family to the United States, and financial support while he completed his studies. HBI Global Partners was incorporated in California in 1952 so that the many Americans who heard him preach and share his vision while he was completing his studies would have a way to support his ministry once he graduated and returned to India. It has continued to enable Westerners to support the many aspects of HBI’s ministry in India.
Hindustan Bible Institute was started in an unpretentious building, housing 5 students. Today, the graduate-level college and the ministry offices are on a ten-acre campus in Chennai. HBI has thus far prepared over 12,000 men and women who are presently serving the Lord faithfully all over the nation and in all continents- rendering effective ministry to churches, schools, colleges, parachurch and missions organizations, as well as in the secular sphere.
Over the past 65 years the ministry has expanded from a Bible college to a multi-faceted ministry providing theological education, village church planter training and support, ministry training and children’s outreach all over India.
