About us:
Federation of Indian American Christian Organizations (FIACONA) is a Washington DC based organization of Indian American Christians from all 50 states and Canada, It is a coalition of Protestant,
Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical, Pentecostal and independent church organizations of Indian Americans across the United States and Canada.
FIACONA is a voluntary, cultural and charitable organization with an emphasis on advocacy on behalf of persecuted Church in India.
FIACONA is a bridge builder for ecumenical advocacy focused on finding ways to reduce violence against Christians in India.
The Federation counts close to 1,000,000 Indian American Christians among its members living in every single state in the United States and Canada. Besides Indian American Christians, the Federation
also counts support from several thousand Christian churches and movements in every single Congressional District across the United States.
Protecting the interest of two thousand year old Christian church in the Union of India; and ensuring its social, cultural and political space remains a priority for FIACONA.
