Our Leadership

Opening Page

CFI India is the Indian Branch of CFI Jerusalem (with Head Office at Jerusalem, Israel), which is an International Non Government Organisation, and among the few Christian NGOs recognized by the Government of Israel. In India it is headed by Pastor Sonny Chandra from Pune, India. He is a founder member of New Life Fellowship Mumbai from the early 1970’s, and has been in ministry for over 54 years. He is actively assisted by his son Pastor Nicky Chandra for this ministry. CFI India has a National Core Committee who work along with him concerning the vision of CFI India. The committee members consist of Pastors and Leaders from within the Christian community who are well respected individuals. CFI works in over 40 Nations globally. CFI is not a church in the colloquial sense, but is an inter-denominational organisation and work along with the local Churches. CFI India has nothing to do with Organisations like Jerusalem Mata, or World Mission Society Church of God Korea, Jehovah Witness, Seventh Day Adventist and such movements.
