How To Help

Advancing Native Missions serves as a bridge connecting two critical pillars of the global body of Christ: (1) native missionaries laboring among unreached peoples, and (2) supporting individuals and churches, mainly in the developed world.

Each group needs the other! Without native missionaries, the Church cannot hope to fulfill the Great Commission, as 80% of world evangelization is being done by native missionaries. Without supporting individuals and churches, native missionaries would be significantly hampered and crippled in their efforts, as most of them live in spiritually and economically depressed regions.

Advancing Native Missions offers a variety of ways for individuals and churches (and Sunday School groups, home schoolers, Christian schools, clubs, ministries, foundations, companies…) to make significant contributions to native missions. We categorize these broadly into three categories:

1. Learn and pray
2. Give
3. Go

1. Learn and pray

We firmly believe that the body of Christ needs to be educated about the amazing things the Lord is doing through native missions. Very few North American Christians, for example, have any clue about the thousands of souls being daily added to the Lord's family through native missionaries.

After learning about the needs, the struggles, the victories, and the challenges facing native missionaries, then we are in a position to pray for them. Prayer is the number one request that our overseas brethren plead for.

2. Give

In Matthew 25, the Lord clearly charges us to help fellow believers who are hungry, naked, imprisoned, sick, and in need. Native missions-many of which minister in regions where the average income is $1 or $2 a day-are reaching the poorest of the poor for Christ. Many of the native missionaries are hardly better off than those they are reaching. Advancing Native Missions offers several ways to give directly to our needy brethren overseas.

• Give directly to native missions worldwide. Click here to give to any ministry of your choice around the globe.
