Fuel the movement
Help make more stories like this happen.
When you give, you invest in local leaders who are sharing the Gospel in some of the most difficult places in the world.
Our work
Equipping local leaders to reach the least reached.
We equip indigenous leaders throughout Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, in areas where people have little or no access to the Gospel. These high-impact leaders are part of a global network advancing the Gospel to the least reached within six regions.
Our unique contribution to His Kingdom
Identify
We identify, vet, and cultivate relationships with locally led partners who many times are part of larger networks on the front lines of advancing the Gospel in some of the most challenging and unreached regions of the world. It is about empowering trusted and proven leaders who are already there, and who have the knowledge, relationships, understanding, and God-sized vision to advance the Gospel among their people.
When we identify local leaders, we evaluate these areas:
- Multiply. Focused on multiplying church movements with intentional strategy, a clear plan, and measurable, achievable goals.
- Trusted. Trusted and proven leaders, demonstrating progress and momentum.
- Collaborative. Working with other leaders starting communities of Jesus followers, sharing accountability, resources, training, and leadership.
- Intentional. Focused on expanding internal funding for sustainability, and well equipped to share inspiring stories and accurate data regularly.
- Alignment. Aligned with Partners' Statement of Faith.
It's more than a process; it's a calling. By supporting leaders who are already there, we ensure the Gospel is shared in ways that deeply resonate within the culture and community.
Deeply relational
Invest
Investment with Partners isn't just about finances. It's deeply relational. There is transformative power in investing in local leaders who have a vision to lead church multiplication movements. We are strategic and intentional in our investments, aligning with those who exhibit clear plans for multiplication, trusted leadership, and vision.
By investing in local leaders, we enable them to use the resources in these ways:
- Team. Most of the local leaders we work with are volunteers and don't require a salary. It's imperative they provide a platform for their team of high-impact leaders.
- Transportation. We help partners get to and from their ministry projects, often a challenge in these parts of the world.
- Training. We invest in equipping leaders so they can build healthy and thriving communities of Jesus followers.
- Targeting. We reach out to communities and people who have little to no access to the Gospel, and strategically determine the best approach for each unreached people group.
- Tracking. Local leaders report inspiring stories that paint a picture of the work God is doing, and they monitor and evaluate their progress for accountability.
Celebrating transformation
Inspire
Reporting is more than just numbers and statistics. It's celebrating the life transformation in individuals, families, and entire communities! We believe in accountability, and we use measurement tools and data collection, not just for compliance, but to find and fill the gaps within unreached people groups. Regular, accurate, and inspiring reporting is our commitment to our valued investors.
We inspire Kingdom investors by:
- Sharing powerful stories of how God is working in remarkable ways.
- Highlighting the growth of Jesus-following communities.
- Offering clear, transparent reporting on Gospel impact.
We also inspire local leaders by:
- Sharing their stories of what God is doing globally.
- Connecting them with the prayer and support of Kingdom investors.
- Providing opportunities to learn and grow through collaboration with other local leaders.
Partners regions
Where we work
Learn more about each region and see how the message of Jesus is being shared.
East and West Africa
The region of East and West Africa is known for its political instability and economic insecurity. With conflicts raging for more than the last 50 years, this region has some of the highest numbers of people starving and is constantly plagued by natural disasters.
Our work throughout East and West Africa consists of training and equipping indigenous leaders who are sharing the Gospel and starting new churches among communities who have yet to hear about Jesus. Persecution is frequent, and Christians are under threat, but we continue to build a network of leaders with a vision to start churches. We have seen great success in multiplying leaders through integral disciple-making training. Economic small business training and community development have also been effective tools for Gospel sharing. Because accepting Jesus often means being disowned by your immediate family, these strategies are crucial to reaching the vast Muslim population with the Gospel message.
Middle East and North Africa
Despite the strong Christian heritage in this region, today Christians number only a small percentage. The primary religion is Islam, and followers of Jesus experience ongoing persecution for their faith. Extreme Islamic groups have gained power in many countries with an agenda to rid the entire region of its Christian presence.
Our strategy throughout the Middle East and North Africa is to preserve the Christian presence that is under persecution and develop long-lasting leaders who are equipped to lead their communities to Jesus. As we work with our network of leaders, we are seeing more people come to faith in Christ than ever before. Our priorities are reaching out to Muslim neighbors, starting new churches, and engaging communities through holistic projects.
Central Asia
The diverse mountainous region of Central Asia is a land of growing Islamic influence. This region is full of rich history that encompasses the Silk Road, where many early Christians traveled to bring the message of Jesus. Today, however, less than 4% of the population follows Jesus.
In Central Asia, we are equipping leaders who carry a vision to see the least reached in their region know and follow Jesus. We focus on the holistic needs of individuals to create a path forward for the Gospel to be shared, through strategic training and an emphasis on integral disciple-making.
East Asia
With deep roots in Buddhism and Islam, many ethnic minorities are represented in this region. China has experienced a tremendous transformation over the past 30 years. Urbanization, booming economic growth, migration to cities, and drastic social change have had both positive and negative effects.
Leaders continue to emerge with a vision to see the people in this region come to know Jesus. We come alongside these indigenous leaders to provide mentoring and coaching through training. In both urban and rural settings, we provide holistic support and prioritize starting new churches, with a focus on sharing the Gospel with Buddhists and Muslims.
South Asia
With more than 1 billion Hindus and 160 million Muslims living in India, this area is diverse. Nepal is predominantly Hindu, Sri Lanka is Buddhist, and Bangladesh is a Muslim nation. It is against the law for Hindus to convert to another religion in this region.
Although laws make it hard for people in South Asia to believe in Jesus, new believers come to Christ every day. We are establishing a network of indigenous leaders and organizations to reach the least reached in creative and culturally relevant ways. Women are overlooked and forgotten despite often being the catalyst for advancing the Gospel, so we have specific efforts to invest in women in this region.
Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia includes Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. This region has been plagued by war, natural disasters, and deep poverty. While many follow Buddhism mixed with animistic beliefs, Indonesia contains more Muslims per capita than any other nation.
Despite the saturation of Islam and Buddhism, Jesus followers are multiplying. We have new and relatively young leaders with a deep desire to see their communities come alive with the Gospel. There is a unique opportunity to focus on oral storytelling here, and we have seen thousands of individuals equipped through this method.
