Supporting Indigenous Missions



Our goal is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who have never heard His Name. To date, millions of people in the 10/40 window have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. And Less than 10% of Christian giving is provided for missions to unreached people.

In contrast, most of the church giving today (general funds, funds for the needy, etc.) are spent within
2013 Christmas Service
first world nations. Christian churches build large facilities, and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on music systems, air conditioning, cushioned pews and carpet.

While there may be nothing wrong with this, the faithful believer must always ask God to guide him/her to where true ministry needs to be done, and the wise use of the resources at our disposal. Isn’t it better to allocate funds for missions and evangelism?

In Hebrews 9:27 we are reminded that, "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment…”

People all over the world are dying and going to hell. Is not missionary work the one task we cannot do once a person has passed away? And isn’t it better today, for cultural reasons and given the difficulty and expense of sending first world missionaries to third world countries, that God is now using local evangelists, missionaries, and pastors to reach out to indigenous and other developing world communities?

It is God's imperative to us to spread the gospel of Christ before His second coming. In fact, if mission support given to first world missions in developing countries is discounted, only 1% or less of giving is being used to support native missions.

Is this good stewardship? Are we prioritizing our resources the way God wants us to?

Native pastors are suffering great hardship. Their families often have only one good meal a day. Yet they go to new villages and preach the gospel, care for people, and befriend those who are in need. We hope to help them with only $40 USD a month. This amount allows the family to purchase their monthly supplies. The evangelist can then spend more time on the mission field.

 Tribal Village Women
There are many native missionaries serving in places such as the mountains of Odisha, like brother Bihit, where he and his fellow workers have been able to reach hundreds of Tribal villagers with the gospel and plant dozens of house churches.  We need to support these fine workers in the Lord.


Will you prayerfully consider being a part of this ministry? If you lead a church or are a leader in your home group or Sunday school class, please consider allocating finances to this project.
