Our Mission & Vision

There are people in the world who have never had the chance to hear the gospel.

And God is calling his people — all of them — to do something about it.

Our mission is to accelerate discipleship movements in hard places by connecting and empowering God's people. Our vision is to help people do brave things to advance God's Kingdom.

That means walking alongside national believers already serving in overlooked and unreached communities — strengthening their leadership, resourcing their work, and caring for their souls. And it means equipping churches and individuals in the US to step into that same mission with clarity and courage.

Because acceleration happens when the whole Church moves together.

Statement of Faith

We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Stand With the Bold.
