Why the Name Troop ?
The duty of the Army and Troop to uproot and pull down, pluck and destroy all unwanted elements from Christ’s Church to plant and build. (Jer 1:10)
There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and related to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.
The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998, it has so far registered 20,000 troops. The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.
