HISTORY
The birth of Christian Expo started with the Christian Cultural Forum. The Christian Cultural Forum was formed in the year 1989 as an ecumenical body. Due to the decline in the Christian publishing industry, the Bishops, Pastors, heads, and leaders of various denominations and churches became patrons, came together and formed a committee to increase the awareness of media, missions, ministry, charity and literature in India. As a result of this unity, the first book fair was held in Thiruvalla, Kerala. Later, book fairs were conducted in various states of India.
As years progressed, the patrons and committee members felt the need to encourage the effective use of media to spread the redemptive message of the gospel of Jesus Christ and planned a nationwide Christian Expo. They came together and formed the World Christian Expo. The first Christian Expo was held in Thiruvalla, Kerala which was a huge success. After two years the Expo was organized in the silicon valley of India – Bangalore, Karnataka. The Expo had an array of national and international books, products, music festivals and speakers.
Since then, the World Christian Expo is being organized every two years in different Indian states. The World Christian Expo, is one of the most prestigious events which has taken place in the Nation of India since the 80’s .The Christian Expo, showcases the different attributes of Christendom in diverse disciplines such as International Missions, Media, Music, Films, Book Fairs, Indian Christian writers, Publishers, Printers, Distributors and Media Producers including TV, Radio and Digital tech.
The purpose of the World Christian Expo is to bring the Christian community together, and to serve as a common platform for all Christian ministries and organizations- in India and abroad: to unite, share and interact. This is one of a kind event in India giving an opportunity for all Christian conglomerates to meet under one roof to promote, uphold and encourage each other’s works in their respective areas. Inspirational speeches are given in the Expo, which helps many to counter the concerns they may be facing in the field or at their desk.
The objective of The World Christian Expo is to provide spiritual and business fellowship and act as a coordinating body among all those who are in the Christian media, and inspire, motivate and equip them wherever possible to be a witness of our blessed Lord, in this explosive information age. The Expo will specifically support literacy initiatives and stress the importance of reading.
As time goes, Christian churches in India are growing and proportionally, the need for relevant literature is also increasing. In a deeper effort to strengthen the Indian church, the exposure of foreign books and stories will be emphasized. Publishers and others involved in the Christian media are invited to bring their materials, and stories.
Visual displays of the history of printing from clay to computer, and the process of Bible translation are highlights of the fair. Several new books and media products will be released at the Expo. Various seminars, workshops, youth fest, music fest, etc. are also held during the event.
The call is to stand united.
