Mongolia

Mongolia contains the vast Gobi Desert and very little arable land, making it one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. A third of the population is nomadic, traveling with their horse across vast expanses. The majority of the Mongolian people are either non-religious or Tibetan Buddhist, with very little exposure to the Gospel. The nation is in great need of missionaries to encourage the Christian population and reach out to those still searching.

China

While China has grown in leaps and bounds industrially, intellectually, and economically, it's still a politically closed nation. The underground church is extensive and continues growing—even thriving—amidst persecution, with new miracles reported every day. Join the amazing missionaries working here, and live your own stories of impact in China.

Zambia

With the country near the bottom of the United Nations Human Development Index, the Zambian people still suffer from poverty, short life expectancy, malnourishment, lack of clean water, and the AIDS crisis. Zambia needs encouragement from missionaries who can remind them of God’s faithfulness in the face of challenges.

Malawi

According to the World Bank, Malawi is the poorest country in the world. There is a huge felt need for basics such as clean water and sanitation. We know it’s God’s heart for the people of Malawi to thrive with access to these amenities. Get the opportunity to serve by meeting the felt needs and sharing the love of Christ here.

Ecuador

Ecuador is packed full of natural beauty. From the Amazon river to glaciers atop Andean volcanoes, this country is sure to enthrall you—and its people too. As diverse as its landscapes, the indigenous and Incan influences give this country a unique culture. With more than half of the population sitting at or below the poverty line, Ecuador is a country waiting for God's Kingdom to come.
