Multiplying Mission Movements ↑ The home of a Buddhist monk and new friend in the Himalayan mountains: Our CMM staff led these Chinese Christians to an unreached Buddhist village just 5 hours from their home.

have no access to the gospel.

These unreached people will likely live their lives without ever meeting a Christian or hearing the gospel. In the words of Paul, “How are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard?� (Romans 10:14)

80% of the world’s evangelical Christians live in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Over the last 50 years, God’s church has grown exponentially in these areas.
These regions have tremendous mission sending potential to help bring the gospel to unreached people, but they currently send only 20% of the world’s cross-cultural missionaries!

We’re mobilizing God’s people to:
Discover We engage believers to discover God’s heart for the nations.
Through one-on-one discipleship, small group studies, and large group trainings, we guide Christians around the world into a biblical understanding of God’s mission, opening their eyes to the proximity of the unreached and ways they can be involved in advancing the gospel to their neighbors.
Develop We equip believers to develop their role in God’s global mission.
In concert with our partners, we educate and coach people in practical ways to reach the nations by praying, sending, welcoming, mobilizing, and going, with a focus on unreached people. We also provide training in support raising, the number one barrier to mission sending.
Deploy We connect believers with opportunities to deploy their gifts in accomplishing God’s mission.
Our ultimate goal—multiplying mission movements— requires many different roles, and it’s clear from Scripture that God has a vital part for everyone to play. ← Our staff leading students in Malaysia through Xplore, our flagship resource on God’s heart for the nations.
We focus on
three strategic groups
Students
Families
Leaders & Churches
We disciple students and young adults to orient their lives around God’s mission, equipping them in cross-cultural evangelism and connecting them to indigenous mission agencies.
We raise up Great Commission families by equipping parents and churches with the vision and resources to disciple their children towards God’s global mission.
We fuel and serve national mobilization leaders and churches, helping them produce, prepare, and provide for indigenous missionaries.

↑ One-third of the world’s population is under the age of 18. By giving children a global worldview, we are laying a foundation for the future of missions. Population data from UNICEF
