Why Indigenous?
Indigenous missionaries do 90% of effective pioneer work among unreached people groups because:
- They know the language (or one similar) and thus can communicate at the heart level
- They know the culture
- They live at the level of the people they serve
- They are not viewed as bringing in a "foreign religion"
West African Ministry Project
GCRI is investing in a powerful West African ministry that is thriving even under the shadow of Al Qaeda. They have planted 40 cell groups, baptized up to 500 new believers, established an orphanage and Christian school, and are active in evangelism in this increasingly militant Muslim culture. Your investment will enable structural repairs and an addition to an existing building headquarters to further expand their ministries.Welcome from GCRI's President
Welcome to the GCRI website. We are dedicated to bringing God's Word to the unreached in poor, remote, and often persecuted regions of the world. We do this by providing resources to multiply the ministries of indigenous (that is native to their own country) pastors, evangelists, and missionaries. Consider this: they already speak the language fluently, they are already rooted within the culture at the same economic level as their countrymen, they require very little in the way of salary, often supporting themselves in a tent-making vocation, and they are least likely to leave the impression that Christianity is a foreign religion. They raise no suspicion where their money comes from. Many face alienation, beatings, imprisonment, even martyrdom - yet they persevere, and because of their courage, people listen.
As you browse our website you will find out more about who we are, what our donors have accomplished in the past, and what we are currently involved in. We take on two large projects and hundreds of smaller projects each year, all of which have successfully helped advance the Gospel in places that were once in darkness. I hope you will rejoice with us in the work God has already done through our donors, and will seek to get involved with us in the future.
Our ministry is completely volunteer based, so unlike most mission organizations, 100% of our donor contributions go directly to their designated project or item. Our operational expenses are provided separately by donors who wish to help in this way. I hope you will join us in bringing the saving knowledge of the Savior to the lost wherever they may be. May God richly bless you as together we provide the loaves and fishes and He multiplies our offerings.
Investors in GCRI are making an eternal difference. Join us!
