Background of SICM:  South India Christian Mission was started in 1994, initially as a personal and family "experiment" when its founder, Dr. Richard Ingle, decided to take a few young, dedicated Indian preachers under wing and encourage them in ministry.  The experiment proved hugely successful as evangelistic outreach in India, and later also in Sri Lanka, blossomed.
