At REAP India, our mission is simple: to see the Gospel take root, multiply, and transform lives across India. Every effort, every prayer, and every gift helps advance that work.
Planting and Training for Lasting Impact
We believe the local church is God’s plan for reaching communities. That’s why church planting is at the heart of what we do. Through training and mentoring, we equip local believers to step into their calling as disciple-makers and leaders. These men and their families are planting churches that are not only gathering for worship but are also becoming centers of hope, healing, and community renewal.
As of April 2025, we’ve shifted to a three-tier deployment strategy, classifying all Christian workers into one of three categories based on supervision reports and quarterly reviews:
Category 1: Movement Leaders
Evangelists and itinerant workers are sent out for a 1-year term.
They spread Gospel seeds wide and far, often in unreached areas.Category 2: Static Leaders
Disciple-makers and local pastors are sent out for a 2-year term.
These leaders begin cultivating consistent discipleship.Category 3: IRCP Church Planters
Workers who demonstrate both fruit and faithfulness are given a 3-year term to plant a model church. These are our long-term, community-anchored planters.
This model allows us to graduate workers into roles that best match their calling and gifting:
After 1 year: Evangelists
After 2 years: Disciple-making pastors
After 3 years: Fully trained Church Planters
Alongside church planting, our training initiatives ensure that leaders are grounded in Scripture, equipped to teach others, and prepared to stand firm in their faith, even in difficult circumstances. We also provide work and income sourcing through our GOATway project for church planters. This ensures the church planters’ success by creating sustainable revenue streams for those in rural areas.
Springbuds: Nurturing the Next Generation
Through our Springbuds program, we come alongside children who are often overlooked or vulnerable. The Springbuds home is able to step in and take them in for a season while the parents get back on their feet.
There are two homes in our Springbuds program — one for elementary school aged children, starting at 4 years old, and another home that houses middle and high school aged kids. Your giving allows us to continue to build better homes for them to live in, food to eat, and a quality education.
How We Raise Support
None of this would be possible without a faithful network of partners. There are several ways this happens:
Ongoing Partners – Many stand with us through monthly giving, providing a steady foundation for ministry.
Special Gifts – At times, God moves in unexpected ways—through legacy gifts, churches or organizations making one-time contributions, or other significant donations. These moments remind us of His perfect provision.
Events – Gathering together not only raises needed funds but also spreads the vision of REAP. One of the greatest joys of our events is seeing friends and family introduced to REAP for the first time and joining in the mission. We currently host events in Austin, Texas and Knoxville, TN.

The Gospel is advancing in India, and together, we get to be part of it. Whether through prayer, giving, or inviting others into the mission, your partnership makes a lasting difference.
As we look ahead to this year’s Beacon for India, we invite you to pray with us:
For more partners to come alongside this work.
For continued strength and wisdom for our church planters and leaders.
For lives and communities to be transformed by the love of Christ.
Thank you for standing with REAP. Together, we are shining the light of Christ in India. If you are interested in hosting an event to raise awareness and partnership in your area we’d love to talk with you.
