Jesus told us to share the gospel with people from all nations (Matthew 28:16). Between now and when He returns, this is our mandate. In the book of Revelation, we read what the end goal looks like: people from every tongue, tribe, and nation worshipping God together, forever. Every ethnicity on earth is represented there. But today, around 7,000 ethnic groups are still unreached with the gospel. We exist to ensure people from every nation hear about Jesus Christ.
We get the gospel to places where no one has heard the name of Jesus Christ—places that are incredibly difficult to reach or that are closed to foreign missionaries. Places like South Asia where Christians are a persecuted minority. Or deep in the Amazon jungle. These places are home to many ethnic groups that are unreached with the gospel, but they are also home to indigenous missionaries whom God has uniquely gifted to effectively grow His kingdom in their homelands. They know the languages, cultures, and customs of the people they are reaching for Christ, and they never implicate the gospel as a foreign religion. We equip them with the resources they need to reach people who are still unreached.
At this moment, indigenous missionaries are trudging through mosquito-infested jungles, paddling canoes to far-away islands, sitting with refugees in tent camps, and hiking on steep mountain paths to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to people who have never heard His name. These missionaries work for indigenous ministries that oversee their work in some of the world’s most difficult mission fields. Christian Aid Mission assists nearly 300 independent, indigenous ministries working among more than 2,000 unreached ethnic groups in Africa, China, Eurasia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
Indigenous missionaries are doing 90% of all frontline missions work, but less than 1% of global missions funding goes to this frontline work. In addition, these missionaries work in some of the world’s poorest countries and receive little to no local support. Your support will help cover their living expenses and vital tools like Bibles, transportation, projectors to show gospel films, and resources to meet the practical needs of those around them. Ultimately, your support will help get the gospel of Jesus Christ to people who have never heard His name.
Get the good news of Jesus to people in every nation with your gift to support the work of indigenous ministries.
