Why We're Effective

Decades of experience and God's faithfulness have enabled us to identify the best ways indigenous ministries can grow vibrant communities of worship and witness.

The least Christian regions of the world are often characterized by poverty, persecution, and distrust (misunderstanding) of Christians so our key strategy is holistic witness—caring for the "whole" person. We demonstrate God's love in word and deed by providing medical care, clean water, education, and other compassionate assistance through local partners.

We're also effective because we strongly support the training and sending of local Christians into unreached areas. By training church planters in subjects ranging from the Bible to income-generating skills, they are equipped to face the challenges of mission outreach among 554 people groups.

Our effectiveness is rooted in the rich relationships we have developed with our partners, both overseas and in the U.S., relationships based on shared passion, the working out of mutually-agreed goals, and much time spent together.
