Kingdom
Breakthrough
Since 1976
We are a community of dreamers and doers who long to see Jesus worshipped in the earth's darkest corners.
Overcome
Obstacles
We exist to catalyze breakthroughs among the unreached—the 7,000+ people groups who live without access to the life-giving message of Jesus. We believe that the Gospel is for every people, and that no one should be excluded.
Journey
Together
We are a community dedicated to seeing the completion of the Great Commission. This task is bigger than any organization or denomination, which is why we love to collaborate—because we are better together.
Venture
Beyond
We believe it’s time for the Church to venture beyond the status quo, because more of the same will not get the job done. What is it going to take to see the Gospel breakthrough among the remaining unreached peoples of the world?
We Need You
Activists
You are compelled by love to make a difference. You can’t keep quiet and have to do something about the Greatest Injustice—that there are thousands of people groups in the world who yet to encounter the good news of Jesus Christ.
Creatives
You see the world differently. You see what could be, what ought to be, and ask why not? You are hungry to enlist your skills, your passion and your vision in a cause that impacts eternity. Creativity is your tool to change lives.
Practitioners
You are a doer. You are the one who has left the familiar and gone out to the last and the least. You are motivated to find better ways to do so—because it’s about what’s effective in the real world—what produces lasting fruit.
Scholars
You impact the world through the power of ideas and insights. You want to unearth root issues hindering the completion of the Great Commission and shed light on them so that others can get past surface issues—to what really matters.
Educators
You equip others for the task. You know that the best knowledge is that which is put to good use. You desire to employ your teaching gifts to shape and train others to be more effective on the field and in other key ministry roles.
Researchers
You are curious—and passionate about opening eyes to see what Jesus sees. To you, it’s not research for research's sake; it’s an ambition to answer questions that may hold the keys to breakthroughs among unreached people groups.
