Inspired by the  strategy of the Apostle Paul highlighted in 1 Corinthians 9:22,
TEA seeks to provide for the physical, spiritual, and material needs of the people.

 2. TEA –  Disciple and Leadership development Training

Vision Statement 
Every Bengali community worshiping, living in harmony, and financially thriving.
TEA Purpose/Mission
TEA networks ministries to train and resource for Disciple-making and sustainable community development among Bengali speaking unreached people groups of East India.
Why Network in West Bengal?
1. West Bengal has 95 million people, and only less than 1% are followers of Christ.
2. There are 27 million Muslims in the state, 27% of the total population.
3. There are more than 200 ministry organizations in West Bengal. Most of Kingdom work is focused on Hindu people groups and very less on Muslim people groups.
4. WB has 656 unreached people groups. Only 64 people groups are being reached.
5. Most evangelistic work is focused among non-Bengali speaking people groups. Bengali
Speaking Hindu and Muslim people groups are least reached in the state.
6. We understand that the task is so great that one ministry organization can not complete it. Several ministries need to work together strategically.
7. According to Psalm 133, our unity can turn into a movement.
Current Status
1. Since 2015, TEA has grown to partner with 25 ministry organizations. There are 350 house churches in 15 districts, upto March 2018.
