Mobilization Giving Resources: Global Frontier Missions

Mobilization Giving Resources

95% of all missions giving is going to the 60% of the world that has churches that are capable of reaching their own people. That leaves 5% of all missions resources going to the 40% of the world that is unreached with the Gospel. We're not saying that we need to give less to our churches or places where cross-cultural ministry is not necessary. We just need to be more strategic in our giving and sending more finances to church planting efforts among unreached people groups.

There are three ways to give strategically so that your money makes it to the places where you can be certain that it is being used among unreached people groups: supporting organizations focused on the unreached, supporting projects among the unreached, or supporting individuals working among the unreached.

Supporting organizations focusing exclusively on the unreached: Global Frontier Missions along with many other organizations such as the ones listed below are dedicated completely to the task of taking the gospel to those groups of people that don't have churches capable of reaching the rest of the people group. If you decide that you want your money to go to unreached people groups, consider blessing a ministry whose sole purpose is ministering among those that have never heard. Giving to an organization helps the donor be able to rejoice in the work that the missions agency is doing as a whole among several different people groups and feel like their contribution played a role in many different aspects of ministry. This may be a good option if you already have a heart for a specific area of the world where a missions agency is working or have already worked with an organization whose values and goals you know you agree with.

Supporting projects focusing exclusively on the unreached:
Global Frontier Missions has started a project called "Finish the Task" which is an effort to raise $1000 for each of the remaining 639 unengaged unreached people groups. Giving to a project like this or one similar to it guarantees that 100% of your giving will be used to support a laborer, church planting team, or project that will directly be working among a group of people that has never had the chance to hear of Christ. Supporting a project focusing on the unreached helps a donor feel like they are playing a key role in fulfilling the Great Commission as they know that their money will be used exclusively to help an effort to plant a church among a people group that has never had missionaries before. This may be a good option if you just know that you are sold on the vision of seeing churches planted among all of the remaining unreached people groups of the world but do not want to do the research or are not that concerned about what individual, group, or organization might be serving there.

Supporting individuals working exclusively among the unreached:
Global Frontier Missions as well as many other missions organizations like the ones listed below have proven to be of high financial integrity and have American and national missionaries that need to be supported. Supporting an individual that works among an unreached people group lets a donor feel like an important part of the work being done in a specific area. This may be a good option if you are looking for something more relational as the focus is on the person rather than the task. This type of support will often times include more prayer, encouragement, communication or prayer requests/praise reports, and possibly visits to/from the field.

We have included some articles presenting a few different points of view concerning supporting indigenous workers which might be of interest to you.

Our website also has the biblical basis of supporting missions to show the importance that the Word of God places on supporting those organizations, projects, and individuals that have been sent out to preach the Good News to other nations.

You can also support missions by surfing the internet, shopping online, selling on Ebay, giving gifts, donating used items, or including a missions organization in your will.
