Do you desire to use your resources to advance God’s kingdom? These organizations provide opportunities for you to help advance the gospel among the unreached by giving of yourselves. Although there are many organizations to give to, this will give you a snapshot of how to get involved.

Opportunities:

Tithing to your Local Church | The local church is a fundamental building block of God’s kingdom.

Support a Missionary | Many missionaries raise their salaries through personal support raising. Giving toward a missionary at your church or one you know personally can be a great way to help advance the kingdom. You can join their team, financially and prayerfully, and help support them as they go and stay overseas where they are sharing the gospel with people who have not yet heard.

Hold the Rope for Missionaries | Join a community of believers passionate about advancing the gospel to the unreached. When you give to AIRO, your donation goes toward one mission: eliminating barriers to advance the gospel to the unreached. We’re currently eliminating the barrier of student debt through The Go Fund, and helping mobilize the church with The Missions Course. airomissions.com/ropeholder

Give to Ministries that Equip:

Gospel Patrons | Our mission is to inspire and empower a generation of Gospel Patrons who will build the church, bless the world, and finish the Great Commission. Most of us won’t be preachers or missionaries. We won’t stand on stage or work for a church. But the vision of Gospel Patrons reminds us that God is writing a great story and he has a part for all of us to play.

Radical | Jesus calls us to make His glory known among all the nations by making disciples and multiplying churches. Being on mission is not a program, but the calling of our lives as Christians. Radical exists to equip the church to be on mission through growing, going, and giving.

Radius International | Radius International is a 9 month training program for those desiring to become long-term cross-cultural church planters. Radius trains singles, couples, and families who are committed to long-term, pioneer church planting among unreached language groups. Radius students acquire spiritual, relational, emotional, and moral maturity, as well as the physical stamina that will enable them to survive the
rigors of cross-cultural living. 

Do you desire to be a part of God’s glory among all nations through prayer, but don’t know where to start? These resources will provide you information, guidance, statistics, and most of all opportunities to engage with missions and the unreached of the world through prayer.

Joshua Project | Find prayer statistics and information on unreached peoples around the world. Get daily prayer emails, find prayer guides, videos, and even ideas on how you and your friends and family can pray together for God’s glory among those who have no access to the Gospel.

Voice of the Martyrs | Voice of the Martyrs provides information on praying for Christians being persecuted around the world. Voice of the Martyrs will help you pray more specifically for brothers and sisters in Christ who risk rejection, imprisonment and even death as they obediently serve the Lord on dangerous and difficult mission fronts.

Operation World | Join people from every nation, praying for people in every nation. Operation World equips believers to respond to God’s call for his people to pray. A definitive prayer guide for every nation. Check out the book Operation World, by Jason Mandryk.

Pray for Missionaries at Your Church | Connect with your local church about how you can pray for the missionaries your church supports or the countries and peoples groups you have missionaries serving in. This is a great way to pray for the nations and be a part of the work God is doing through your local congregation.
