Reaching the unreached through locally cultivated, sustainable missions | There are 4.2 million full-time Christian workers, and 95% are working in places where the Gospel has already been shared, often in cities. However, less than 1% of all these missionaries are deployed to mountains and islands—geographies where the Gospel has never been heard and where there are no local Christians. These unreached people groups lack access to the Gospel due to their geographic isolation, political and religious restrictions, which also are barriers making it more difficult for foreign missionaries to reach them.

The diversity of cultures and languages among unreached peoples requires an understanding of local folk religions and beliefs to clearly communicate the Gospel. For this reason, we aim to deploy more local missionaries who are familiar with cultural nuances while standing as witnesses of Gospel truths. Our mission is to reach diverse groups of people, and we desire to meet them where they are, by training and sending local missionaries. This is crucial not only for spreading the Gospel but even more so for the future self-sustainability of local churches.
