People often ask us for other ways they can help contribute to the mission of Frontiers. One of the first questions we typically ask in return is “Does your church know about Frontiers?”
Frontiers believes that through building better partnerships with the local church here, we can bring the hope of Christ there—faster. If we truly seek to complete the good work of the great commission Jesus Christ set before us, then we must recruit, train, and send more. We must care for and support better those who go.
We believe the local church is the best way to accomplish this. The possibilities of what could be done if the body of Christ, and the bride of Christ united for a single purpose are endless. But even the greatest movements in history started with a single step. Sometimes, that first step is simply an introduction.
Does your church know about Frontiers?
4 steps to sharing Frontiers with your church.
- Present the Facts
Across the world there are an estimated 1 billion Muslims who are considered unreached (less than 2% of people are known Christians). Of those, there are 1,108 Muslim people groups that remain completely unengaged (having no known Christians among them).
- Explain the Challenges
Regions where Muslims live face some of the most horrendous social justice issues, such as human trafficking, violence, corruption, lack of education, and poverty. Our fears lead us to believe their transformation is a hopeless cause, even though we claim to have the hope of the world.
- Introduce Frontiers
Frontiers wants to inspire transformational movements within unengaged Muslim communities by sending church-based teams to catalyze change. We plan to accomplish this by inviting all Muslim people, with love and respect, to follow Jesus. United together in mission, we can transform Muslim societies and eradicate injustices. By partnering with Frontiers, the church in America has already sent more than 2000 leaders to reside and plant churches in Muslim communities overseas.
- Extend an Invitation
Invite your church to connect with us. Whether they would like more information, are interested in sending a team, our church-based teams department would love to tell them more! Contact us at: cbt@frontiersUSA.org or visit www.frontiersUSA.org/Churches
You can also challenge them to join our Syrian Refugee relief project, as we seek to raise $350,000 for critical relief projects and the sending of new missionaries—because true transformation requires not just bread, but the bread of life.
