Joseph and Esther lead an expanding ministry throughout southern India. Started by Joseph’s father, Samuel, in 2002, the International Cultural Bible Ministries (ICBM) has planted over 230 churches, including planting churches among 40 Indian ethnic tribal people groups of which 38 were previously unreached peoples of India. The vision is to reach the 630+ tribal people groups with the gospel of Christ.

ICBM exists to plant churches, equip and train pastors and leaders, and build churches. In addition, the ministry seeks to care for the poor, aged, destitute, and needy with the compassion of Jesus Christ.
