About us.

What We Do

Unknown Nations works with indigenous missionaries to reach barrier-ridden people groups with the Bible. We provide emergency relief, discipleship/leadership training, plant churches with the goal of an indigenous church-planting movement, and distribute audio Bibles in areas with a 0.00–0.02 gospel presence where Jesus is completely unknown. We’re changing lives and bringing hope.

Our Mission:

To reach the unknown nations at the ends of the Earth. Completing the last four words of Jesus’ calling.

Our Story

Unknown Nations was originally founded in 1994 as World Mission with a simple but ambitious mission: to reach the ends of the Earth. Founded by Paul Land, World Mission was largely funded by Land’s thrift stores.

Today, as we did then, we believe that everyone deserves to hear the gospel, and we are committed to using innovative methods to reach the world’s most unreached people groups.

We work in partnership with individuals, local churches, foundations and organizations to provide humanitarian aid, medical care, and emergency relief. We also use audio Bibles, solar-powered radios, and other technology to reach people who have never had access to the gospel. Our goal is an indigenous church planting movement in nations where Jesus is unknown.
