Conclusion: The theological formation for mission in India/Asia is a people-centered and context-sensitive endeavour. Its emphasis is not a set of theological doctrines and moral teachings but the person of Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh. What theological faculties in India aim at is the fostering and furthering of a thirst in their students to articulate and usher in Jesus’ vision of Reign of God that can be appreciated and accepted in the Indian/Asian milieu.
