Supported Missionaries

The Joshua Project estimates that over 90% of all missionaries work among already reached peoples and for every dollar of Christian resources, less than one penny is directed at reaching unreached peoples. While we recognize the need for continued, vital Christian ministry and multiplication among people groups where an evangelizing local church has already been planted, we also are compelled by the urgent need for a culturally appropriate, faithful gospel witness among people groups where Christ has not yet even been named. Recognizing that the number of workers among these “unreached” people groups is dramatically disproportionate to their numbers, there is a need for strategic focus to accomplish the task.

As a result, with respect to missions focus, CBCGB prioritizes:

• The cultural distance of the recipients from the gospel (i.e., the evangelization of unreached people groups);

• Pioneer evangelism and church planting.
