IFCMC24: Malone Campus
For the first time in history, the International Friends Church Multiplication Conference will be held both 100% online and 100% in-person.

In addition, there will also be:
Affinity Groups for idea discussion
Onsite Prayer Groups, an immediate way to be involved with the Evangelical Friends Church Planting movement
Fellowship Receptions to connect with old and new friends

Arun Massey
CHURCH PLANTER, CLEVELAND, OH
Pastor Arun Massey and his wife Shobha began their ministry in 1995 as Friends church planters and ministers in India. During their time there, they planted seven Friends churches, actively engaged in disciplemaking, ministered to 3,000-4,000 kids weekly, and provided ministry and support to their pastors. Due to increasing persecution, they moved to Cleveland, OH, to plant a church to reach the increasing Indian American community.
