1. India Vision Tour
October 18-28, 2009
with Ray Sanders
Our mission:
To awaken leaders to the life-changing impact they can have throughout the world as a
person of influence.
Our vision:
Mobilize and multiply the number of influential leaders who use their success for
significance.
Objectives for every team member:
• GiANT Experiences immerse influential leaders in multi-cultural experiences that
help awaken them to the impact they can have as a person of influence.
• Leaders experience first-hand the, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of
individuals throughout the world.
• During the journey leaders are guided through activities and assessments that
serve as catalysts for helping leaders better understand and identify their
purpose and calling in life.
Team purpose:
• The India trip is exclusively designed for 6-10 leaders. The team will visit projects
where slum children are living in the garbage dumps of Delhi. There will be a
special focus on work of the India Hope Center, where Global Action has
established a holistic ministry through a local school, micro enterprise programs
among aspiring entrepreneurs, the development of a medical assistance
programs and life-changing assistance to orphans. Leaders will also meet with
local field personnel to explore ways to help reach the people of India.

2. India Facts:
Background: The Indus Valley civilization, one of the oldest in the world, goes back at
least 5,000 years. Aryan tribes from the northwest invaded about 1500 B.C.; their
merger with the earlier inhabitants created classical Indian culture. Arab incursions
starting in the 8th century and Turkish in 12th were followed by European traders
beginning in the late 15th century. By the 19th century, Britain had assumed political
control of virtually all Indian lands. Nonviolent resistance to British colonialism under
Mohandas GANDHI and Jawaharlal NEHRU led to independence in 1947. The
subcontinent was divided into the secular state of India and the smaller Muslim state of
Pakistan. A third war between the two countries in 1971 resulted in East Pakistan
becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh. Fundamental concerns in India include
the ongoing dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir, massive overpopulation, environmental
degradation, extensive poverty, and ethnic strife, all this despite impressive gains in
economic investment and output.

3. Location: Southern Asia, bordering the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal,
between Burma and Pakistan.
Climate: varies from tropical monsoon in south to temperate in north
Population: 1,129,866,154 (July 2007 est.)
Ethnic mix: Indo-Aryan 72%, Dravidian 25%, Mongoloid and other 3% (2000)
Religions: Hindu 80.5%, Muslim 13.4%, Christian 2.3%, Sikh 1.9%, other 1.8%,
unspecified 0.1% (2001 census)
Languages: 25 major languages. English and Hindi major trade
languages.
Economy: India's economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern
agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of
support services. More than a third of the population is too poor to be able to
afford an adequate diet. India's international payments position remained strong
in 2000 with adequate foreign exchange reserves, moderately depreciating
nominal exchange rates, and booming exports of software services. Growth in
manufacturing output slowed, and electricity shortages continue in many regions.
