About us

Abide in Christ the True Vine Ministries

At Abide in Christ the True Vine, we exist to help believers remain rooted in Jesus Christ, drawing daily strength, guidance, and fruitfulness from Him. Our name comes from the words of Jesus: “I am the true vine, ye are the branches” (John 15:5). Just as branches cannot live apart from the vine, so we believe that the Christian life flourishes only when it stays connected to Christ.

Our Story / Journey

Abide in Christ the True Vine was born out of a deep longing to see lives transformed by the power of God’s Word. For founder Elijah Sande, the journey was not simply about starting a ministry — it was about encountering a truth that changed everything.

There was a day when Elijah came across the words of Christ in John 15:5: “Without Me ye can do nothing.” Though he had read this Scripture many times before, on that day it was as if God Himself opened his eyes. The revelation struck deep into his spirit: everything in life, from faith to family to daily struggles, is empty and powerless apart from Christ. That moment of awakening became a turning point. Elijah realized what so many people are missing — that real fruit, real transformation, and real hope can only flow from abiding in Jesus, the True Vine.

This personal revelation became the seed of the ministry. What began as simple notes of encouragement, private devotionals, and small teachings shared with friends grew into something greater. Out of his own journey of overcoming fear, loss, and uncertainty, Elijah began to write, teach, and produce resources to help others abide in Christ.

Over time, Abide in Christ the True Vine has grown into books, discipleship materials, online platforms, and teaching resources that are blessing lives around the world. Each step forward has been guided by prayer, rooted in Scripture, and driven by a passion to restore faith, rebuild families, and equip believers to live fully in Christ.

Today, the ministry continues with the same heart: to point people back to the revelation that changed Elijah’s life — that apart from Christ, we can do nothing, but in Him, we bear much fruit that lasts.

Founder’s Message

Dear Friend,

Welcome to Abide in Christ the True Vine. My heart is full of gratitude that you are here. This ministry was born out of my own walk with the Lord, and everything you find on these pages flows from a simple desire: to see lives restored, families strengthened, and believers abiding deeply in Christ.

What you will discover here is not theory but truth lived out — devotionals, books, and discipleship tools shaped by prayer, Scripture, and the grace of God. My prayer is that these resources will meet you right where you are, and draw you closer to the only source of true life and fruitfulness: Jesus Christ.

I invite you to journey with us, to learn, to grow, and most of all, to remain in the True Vine. Together, let us bear fruit that will last.

With grace and peace,
Elijah Sande
Founder, Abide in Christ the True Vine

Future Plans

Looking ahead, we are prayerfully committed to broadening the reach and impact of Abide in Christ the True Vine. Our vision includes expanding our publishing projects with more books, devotionals, and discipleship materials to help believers grow deeper in Christ. We also plan to provide free training resources for pastors and church leaders, especially in rural areas where there is great hunger for the gospel but limited access to sound teaching.

Many pastors in these regions face challenges such as the lack of affordable Bibles in their dialects, little or no theological training, and vulnerability to false teachings. To respond, we have laid two strategies:

1. Practical Strengthening of Pastors – through Bible distribution partnerships (vernacular and audio Bibles), modular training on core biblical foundations, and mentorship circles for ongoing support.

2. Equipping Resources – developing booklets, manuals, and reproducible training outlines that leaders can use and pass on to others, with a focus on guarding against false teaching and strengthening core doctrines.

Through these efforts, we aim to see pastors empowered, believers discipled, and communities transformed by the truth of God’s Word.

Our Purpose

We exist to call believers back to abiding in Jesus Christ — the True Vine (John 15:5). Our purpose is not just to teach, but to equip individuals and families with biblical truth, practical tools, and spiritual encouragement that leads to lasting transformation.
