New Nation Church of India
In May of 2014, Pastor Kanna Babu Mothe emailed New Nation Church International, expressing interest in being affiliated with NNCI. Since our founding, we have received many contacts every week from people, churches, and ministries expressing interest in some type of affiliation with us. Very, very few people complete the questionnaire and the required documents for us to review and prayerfully consider this; those few who do rarely show much grounding in Jesus Christ or the Bible. Pastor Kanna stood out in his clear understanding of and ability to clearly communicate Biblical Christianity. After a good number of live video interviews and conversations, Pastor Kanna and Apostle Todd developed a warm friendship, and it was time for Apostle Todd to go in person to meet Pastor Kanna and witness the ministry that he and his family had already established in India. In the spring of 2015, Apostle Todd, later joined by his wife Ruth, were easily able to confirm that Pastor Kanna and the ministry that he lead in the Telangana State of India would be a welcome addition to the New Nation Church International family. Working together, the ministry has grown and New Nation Church of India now has 15 congregations in the Rural Khammam District of Telangana State and the bordering Andra Pradesh State.
The National Director for New Nation Church of India is Evangelist & Pastor Kanna Babu Mothe who is married to wife Keerthi. They have two beautiful children: daughter Ruth and a newly born son who will be named when he reaches 6 months old as is their tradition. Pastor Kanna’s parents, brother Ajay and the rest of his family engage in the life of the ministry quite actively along with the other pastors, elders, and deacons/deaconesses of our congregations in India.
​
New Nation Church of India is headquartered at the original congregation in Tallada (also spelled Thallada), is a mandal with some 73,000 people in the Rural Khammam District of the Telangana State of India. The primary village is also called Tallada with a population of about 15,000. The main language spoken there is Telugu. The region’s economy is primarily based on agriculture.

New Nation CHurch, Tallada
New Nation Church, Tallada is the first congregation in India with approximately 150 worshippers under the leadership of Pastor Kanna Babu, along with other members of the team who join in preaching, teaching, prayer ministry, pastoral care, baptisms, Bible distribution, feeding and clothing the poor, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have not yet come to faith. Tallada hosts the headquarters on New Nation Church of India. We have been blessed to be able to purchase the land, church hall, and minister's house in Tallada which gives us a reliable location to use as we reach out to the people of the Khammam District and beyond.
New Nation CHurch, Somulagadda
Great news! We were sucessfully able to complete fundraising in order to purchase the property where the congregation meets as of the 1st of January 2023! Through many times of prayer, fasting, and evangelistic outreaches, this breakthrough has also helped increase the number of worshippers at New Nation Church, Somulagadda, with amount of increase not yet fully clear, but it is enough that we are already adding to our new property to accomodate the growth!
​
New Nation Church, Somulagadda is our second congregation in India based on its founding date. As of September of 2022 there were approximately 70 members of the congregation, having doubled since the COVID-19 outbreak and as a result of the many times we showed the love of Christ to the people of the town, making sure that no one here died of starvation due to food shortages caused by the pandemic.
As this town very near Tallada, the two congregations share the same leadership team.
New Nation CHurch, Enkoor
New Nation Church, Enkoor is also very near Tallada and shares the same leadership team. This congregation has been a house church until February or 2021, when they purchased a building with land to expand. As a house church, there were approximately 25 worshippers, however, over 600 people from the town of Enkoor joined the celebration of the dedication of the new church building and we are hopeful that many will begin to join in the life of the congregation. An evangelistic outreach in August 2022 saw 19 people here come to faith in Jesus Christ for their salvation.

New Nation CHurch,
among the forest people tribe
New Nation Church in a Forest People Village is a congregation amongst an unnamed tribal people who live in the forests of Telangana State to the northeast of Tallada. The people are sometimes called ‘the nameless ones’ due to the fact that the oppressive caste system of India considers these gentle people to be so low that they are too low to be in a caste and therefore not worthy of a name or identity. Many Hindu people do not even consider them to be human beings, but we are blessed to call these people brothers and sisters in Christ. A majority of the people in this village worship as part of New Nation Church International.

New Nation Church, Vinobhanagar, in Telangana State of India began with 2 Christians in this village of about 3,000 people on the 28th of January, 2014. The leadership of New Nation Church of India believed it was the right thing to do to seek a location where these 2 Christians could meet for prayer in their village. Later that year, once a room to rent was secured, 13 people began to meet and pray each week. By 2016 there were 56 Christians in the town holding regular church services, all members of New Nation Church, Vinobhanagar under the leadership of Pastor Ravi.
As of the 10th of February 2023, we have been asked by the owner of the room that the congregation uses to purchase the property. As the purchase of the church property in nearby Somalugadda was only completed at the beginning of 2023, funds for this are not available. Please join in prayer that the land is not sold from under the congregation requiring them to find a new meeting location.
