Native Missionaries By Region
Christian Aid is dedicated to providing support for native missionaries in poor nations and where they are victims of persecution.
Specifically, we support native missionaries in seven regions: Africa, Southeast Asia, South Asia, China, Middle East, Latin America and the former Soviet Union.
Each of these regions presents unique challenges to native missionaries laboring to share the gospel with their own people. By clicking on a particular region, you can learn more about the work of native missionaries within the context of a specific mission field.
