Christianity represents less than 1% of the 600 million people living in the North Indian states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. For years, missionaries called this area the graveyard of missions because of the challenges of the caste system, Hin*u and Mu*lim resistance, and poverty. But not anymore! At Friends of India Network (FOIN) , we believe the most effective way to reach India is through local, Indigenous leaders who know the lang

One of our ministry’s largest evangelism efforts of the year begins Monday! An estimated 3 million people in Northern India will hear the message of Christ’s saving love for the first time during our Christmas Outreach, Dec. 15–Jan. 15! Because of your past generosity, 3,000 teams of two will travel to 40,000 unreached villages to share the go*pel, and giving now ensures this work continues until all have heard. Nearly 40% of the world’s unreached people live in India ,

Because of your support, on Thanksgiving Day, our partner and his leaders plan to bapti*e approximately 30,000 new believers in 2,500 locations across Northern India! These new brothers and sisters heard about Jesus for the first time during our summer outreach, and since then, our evan*elists have been preparing them for this next step of faith. Your past giving, prayers and God’s grace made these life-changing outreach efforts and bapti*ms possible, and giving now ensure

Why India? India has more unreached people than any other nation. Nearly 40% of the world’s unreached people live in India, and 95% of its 1.4 billion people have yet to hear the go*pel ( Joshua Project, Oct. 2025 ). Why Friends of India Network (FOIN)? Because we believe the most effective way to reach India is through local, Indigenous leaders who know the language, culture, and people—and are boldly sharing Christ where few have gone before. Together with these leaders,

We have an invitation for you, but before that… Nearly 95% of India’s 1.4 billion people have never heard the go*pel. Jesus calls us to “go and make disciples of all nations”—but how can we reach the most unreached nation on earth? At Friends of India Network, our vision is No Village Left : a healthy chu*ch in every village of Northern India by 2033. To pursue this, we support Indigenous leaders who are boldly sharing the go*pel, planting chu*ches, bapti*ing, and discipling

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14 (NIV) India is home to 1.46 billion people—and more than 95% are unreached. That’s 1.38 billion souls who have yet to hear about Jesus. The majority of Indians follow Hinduism (80%), followed by Islam (14.2%), Christianity (2.2%), and other faiths.* While these numbers may seem overwhelming, we are driven by the desire for everyone to have access to the Good

This spring, the Friends of India Network led a group of 14 travelers from California and Georgia to witness the profound impact our partner and this ch*rch planting ministry are making across Northern India.

This April, our partner and his team will begin training 4,000 new ch*rch planters as part of a 15-month multiplication program aimed at seeing No Village Left — a healthy ch*rch in every village of Northern India by 2033. These workers will meet in groups of 35-40 for three days of intensive training, be sent out to their villages, and return for further training every three months. Throughout the 15-month program, each ch*rch planter will be expected to: Plant 3 healthy ch*

An amazing group of young people have left the millions of Hindu gods and goddesses they grew up with to learn more about the one true God. Hallelujah! Last month, 75 students from three different states and 10 people groups in India began a six-month residential course in Mission Study. Together, they are examining topics such as the Old Testament, New Testament and life of Jesus, as well as studying ch*rch planting manuals, computers and spoken English. Our partner created

Happy (belated) Independence Day! Yesterday, our partner’s school held an impressive celebration to mark the 78th anniversary of India's independence from British colonialism. While watching the festivities, we were struck by the success story of this school. Beginning with a vision the Lord gave one young untouchable Indian – our partner – this Christian school has surpassed expectations and illustrates what God can do when we obey His call. The school opened in 2019 with 11
