Planting Churches Where Christ Is Unknown
Across North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia lies the 10/40 Window, the region with the least gospel access in the world. Entire communities have never encountered a Christian witness or seen a local church. In areas marked by isolation, opposition, and spiritual darkness, God is using faithful strategies to establish His Church where it has never existed before.
MULTIPLYING IMPACT
Maximizing Impact for the Unreached
Defining an Indigenous Church
Church planting begins not with a building, but with believers gathered around God’s Word, often listening to an audio Bible together. What starts as a small group becomes a fellowship devoted to Scripture, prayer, and community, just as we see in Acts 2:42: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”

Indigenous Leaders Igniting Church Planting Movements
As these churches grow, new leaders emerge. When you invest in indigenous church planting in the 10/40 Window, you empower leaders who can reach places outsiders never could. From village to village, the gospel spreads through trusted local believers.
This cycle continues as new churches are planted, believers are discipled, and emerging leaders are identified. We invest in their growth through biblical training and discipleship, equipping them to plant churches, disciple others, and multiply their impact. Over time, sustainable indigenous church planting movements take root, carrying the gospel into communities that have never had access to Jesus.
Join us in planting the first church in a community still waiting to hear.

Life Changing Hope.
Mary, a woman disabled by polio, once felt so burdensome to her family that she attempted to end her life. Her husband, also disabled after a tragic train accident, shared her sense of hopelessness. When an Unknown Nations indigenous leader visited their home and gave them a solar-powered audio Bible, they listened together. Though once devout Hindus, hearing God’s Word led both Mary and her husband to place their faith in Christ, finding new hope and purpose.
