Summary

We want to shake up the local church, and call Christians out of the comfortable faith we are accustomed to, and into unreached territories around the world. We equip believers to minister to Jews and Muslims in their own backyards. We launch Christians into relationships with their persecuted brothers and sisters in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and beyond.

Purpose

We are taking the Gospel to the least reached among Jews and Muslims, and those off the beaten path who have no access to the Gospel. We are telling the real stories behind the headlines of our God's amazing transforming work around the world.

We seek God daily on our faces. As God moves, we move. As God is changing the hearts of his people, we change to serve those people. We are constantly learning from the stories we encounter, and stretching ourselves to minister to those who are often overlooked.

We believe women are equal in value in the kingdom of Christ. One of our ministries, Not Forgotten, focuses specifically on ministering and celebrating women, who are often overlooked or forgotten about in many cultures around the world.

We are training the next generation of missionaries through merging the "Great Commission and the Great Outdoors." We are taking them where no other group goes to develop lasting ministry partnerships.

Mission statement

We exist to inspire and challenge the Body of Christ to join the movement of God among Jews and Muslims in the Middle East and to stand with those who suffer for Christ in uncharted territories across the world.
