FAITH
Faith in Jesus Christ is to believe that He is the Son of God who lived, died, and resurrected to offer salvation and eternal life to all who trust in Him. He transforms people and nations bringing hope, purpose and forgiveness to all who trust in Him for salvation.
REACH
“'Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth...'" **
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." ***
INDIA
India is now the world's most populous nation with over 1.4 billion people. Only 2.3% of its population identify as Christian. A large portion of the Christian population lives in Southern India where it is believed that the apostle Thomas founded the first Indian church in Palayur, Kerala. Yet India ranks among the top 10 nations for persecution of Christians.
Vision
To make an eternal impact on the nation of India by sending the message of the fullness of life to every unreached person, beginning with every tribe and caste of Telangana, and to offer encouragement and peace to people all over the world. We want to take part in God's gathering of His people to Himself.
Mission
To spread God's message through humanitarian help, education, evangelism, and church planting to those in Telangana and throughout India.
To this end, FaithReach India is training and sending out native missionaries to unreached areas of India, beginning in the state of Telangana. They are to establish mission stations that will be the launch point for their work. The first group of missionaries are in the process of setting up the ministry work shown in "Our Programs" below.
To get updates and learn more about how our mission is being carried out, read our Ministry Info blog.
Our Programs
Reaching the Unreached and Church Planting
FaithReach India was founded for the purpose of reaching the unreached. We want to multiply churches for the sake of being part of the Kingdom building that Jesus began when he came to Earth. FRI launched this program in Dec, 2023 by deploying its first group of seven missionaries to the state of Telangana.
Grace Ministries
“Faith without works is dead.” So is love without action. We aim to see real transformation in the lives of those we minister to by ministering to the whole person. Our Grace Ministries began in October of 2020 when the founder distributed COVID-19 relief kits with groceries and necessary items. Many in India lost their income when the shutdowns began. This was done without fundraising or other needed resources. FRI continues providing for the poor, as Jesus taught.+
Passing the Baton by Equipping Leaders
Native missionaries and spiritual leaders in FaithReach India are educated in the Bible and continue to receive training and building up so they can raise up other leaders for the gospel of Christ.
Equipping the Saints
Our Disciple Making Movement (DMM) involves discipling those who are converted to Christ as a result of our mission work.
Child Advancement Program
One of the first tasks for missionaries is to establish child advancement program centers to serve as places of love, care, education, and counseling. This will be done in a spiritual atmosphere of discipline under the supervision of Godly leadership with the love of Christ. A primary goal of CAP centers is to support children's education by providing scholarships (where needed), tutoring, nourishment, uniforms, school supplies, and hygiene items. Children will visit the CAP centers before and/or after school. Our mission is to inspire children with a vision of eradicating poverty and fostering a healthier society.
Where CAP Centers do not exist, missionaries will help as many children as possible with the supplies and services mentioned above.
Encouragement
May God richly bless you as you visit our website. We believe that it is not an accident that you are here. By God's grace we hope to provide something to help you through your day or your life. We hope you find inspiration as you read about the work God is doing in India. Also visit our "Encouragement" blog.
Funding
As of this writing, it takes about $100/month to support a native missionary in India. This will provide for shelter, lodging and meals plus needed materials for the work. At this time those directly involved in the work and a few friends are providing funding. We are not yet set up to receive donations at large. Please pray that we will successfully execute God's will in regard to funding.
Our Impact
Globally 61,000,000 people died in 2023. Every one of them was created for God's glory. One has to wonder how many of them knew that. Christ did not just die for all. He died specifically for you, me, and them. We want to have as much impact for Christ as possible. Should not "...the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering"? (This was the call of two young Moravian men who were willing to sell themselves into slavery so that they could minister to African slaves on the island of St. Thomas.) We think so.
Read our blog to see examples of the impact that missionaries sent out last December are making.
Support
FaithReach India sent out its first group of seven missionaries in December, 2023. More than anything, more than everything we need prayer. Please seek God's face with us to continue and grow in ways that honor God.
