The Malabar Theological College is a small Christian
College in the Malabar region of Kerala, in the most southern area of India. Unlike most of India,
Kerala State is a coastal tropical region heavily wooded and green with thousands of palm, trees,
banana trees, rubber trees and more. An hour inland and into the hill country is the Malabar area
and home to the college and its founders James Vargeese and Dr. V.V. Thomas.
In 2003 Dr. Thomas contacted Drive-hi Director Terry Lytle through a mutual friend. Correspondence
began and in a short time Terry and Mike Jones were on their way to India to meet with the men, see
the college and determine if Drive-In should establish a ministry in India with the Malabar
heological College.
The trip and meetings were positive and productive. Not only was the decision made to work with
these men, but also a van was purchased and plans were begun to return and outfit the new Mobile
Unit for ministry.
In March of 2004, Mike is scheduled to return to India with the needed equipment, equip the Unit,
train the teams and place the Unit into service. Please pray for the successful completion of the
Unit and for fruitful ministry in years to come.
