FAQ
The Banquet of Praise is a longstanding tradition at Mission India, welcoming friends of the ministry to celebrate what God did in India over the past year and share the vision for where Mission India is headed in the year to come. For a couple of hours, we gather to enjoy a meal together, hear firsthand updates and stories from India, and enjoy fellowship with one another.
This year, our gathering will feature a keynote address from David, our Director of Church Engagement. You will also hear from other staff members and Mission India’s President & CEO, Todd VanEk.
There is no fee to attend! We’re excited to host you as we celebrate all God has been doing in India. As you hear about the incredible ways the Lord is changing hearts in India, we invite you to respond by giving a gift, as God leads you, to help continue this ministry in the coming year.
Yes, you will be assigned to the table of the host that invited you to the event. Their table will be filled with other guests that they have invited. Want to host your own table? Sign up here.
