India now has the largest population in the world, with the most people who have not yet heard about Jesus. The Foundation for International Research & Education (FIRE), a part of the Gateway Prayer Garden, has been investing in India since 1995.

FIRE has provided practical investment through small businesses, health and education. Through the investment of prayer and leadership training, villages of unreached people groups have been reached and over 4,500 house groups have been started to teach the Word of God and Pray.
