South Asia Missionary Training

Will you help invest in South Asian pastors and missionaries to grow a sustainable, healthy mission sending movement? Home to more unreached people groups than any other nation, this country is extremely difficult for Western missionaries to get into. The Lord is raising up a strong indigenous missions workforce, but they need resources and training. We've been asked to equip them and we need your help to do so!

Why This Matters

Mission agencies in this South Asian nation have relied upon Western funding for decades, but government restrictions are making this increasingly more difficult. Indigenous missionaries and church planters are now facing the need to mobilize financial resources from within their own country. We've trained over 20,000 missionaries through the Support Raising Bootcamp and The God Ask, and we are seeing more and more missions being funded locally within China, Kenya, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia and beyond.

Project Details
We have entered into a three year partnership from 2025-2028 to run three Bootcamps per year, train local facilitators and run a leadership track for executives on building healthy culture and infrastructure around personal support raising. We will be translating the curriculum into two languages. Annual costs will be about $18,000.

Your gift will go towards:

  • the printing and production of the Bootcamp training materials
  • offsetting travel and lodging costs for indigenous ministry leaders attending the training
  • bringing experienced facilitators that are committed to equip and multiply themselves within indigenous communities

We are not publishing the name of this country for security reasons, but you may have figured it out. Please be praying for this training! We believe it will help stir up a new movement of missionaries who are fully funded by the Christians right within their own nation. Every missionary raising personal support mobilizes 100+ others to give and pray, which spurs indigenous believers to be even more involved in the missions effort. 

Together, we are reaching the nations through the nations.
