Who We Are

Advance The Nations (ATN) is a faith-driven non-profit organization located in Rogers, Arkansas and dedicated to sharing the gospel in India and South Asia. Through church planting, leadership and theological training, and humanitarian aid, we empower communities to know and follow Christ. What started as a mission trip to Bangalore led us to partner with a faithful leader, Ramesh Kumar, whose ministry has grown into a network of over 600 churches through God's power and his team's tireless work. ATN exists to support and strengthen that mission.

Faith in Action: Changing Lives

Ramesh's Story

Born into a Hindu family, Ramesh spent his early years searching for truth. His life was transformed when a missionary shared the gospel with him, igniting a passion to serve Christ. Today, he leads over 400 pastors in India, planting churches and spreading the message of Jesus. Ramesh serves faithfully alongside his wife, Esther, in a strong ministry partnership. Together, they are raising two beautiful daughters and remain deeply committed to reaching the unreached with the love of Christ.

"The fields of India are ripe for harvest. Every church planted is a beacon of hope for those longing for truth." — Ramesh Sagille
