You are invited to join us for “Shine”.

The theme for shine comes from Matthew 5:16, “Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

The much-anticipated Shine Banquet is just a few months away. Mark your calendars and join us as we celebrate all God is doing through IREF and through ministry partners just like you. For our friends in Illinois, join us Wednesday, September 3, at Village Church of Gurnee. And for our friends in Michigan, we’ll see you Sunday, September 7, in Kalamazoo.

Looking for a way to introduce your friends and family to IREF? The Shine Banquet is the perfect way to see a full scope of this ministry, hear stories of impact, and step into opportunities to help transform lives too! So invite others to join you as we seek to build God’s Kingdom in rural India.

Did you know?

17% of the world’s population lives in India. That is more than 1 out of every 6 people! And yet, according to Joshua project, in India, there is only 1 missionary for every 179,000 unbelievers. God is using IREF to shine the love of Christ to a spiritually oppressed part of the globe. At Shine, you will hear inspiring stories of rebuilt churches, changed lives, and restorative work that is only made possible through the power of Christ. 

With all that is dominating the headlines today regarding societal angst and unrest, it is hard to deny we are living in a historical moment. And yet, for over 50 years, God has been faithful to reveal Himself through the ministry of IREF. His light is still shining brightly! Thank you for loving the unseen and the marginalized in rural India. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.
