Partner with us to build a healthy, multiplying Church of disciples from the Horn who make disciples of all nations.
In the Horn of Africa, millions of people live and die without ever hearing the gospel. There are few Christians in this land, and the peoples are spread across hundreds of miles of cities and villages through rugged terrain and in places with many security restrictions.
But our God is faithful to His promises, and He has not forgotten the nomadic people in the Horn of Africa. He is at work today, and together, by the power of His Spirit, we can reach these precious people.
Help us leverage technology to engage the very edges of civilization, boldly proclaiming the gospel. Through the internet, we can also identify those who are seeking the Lord, the people God is calling to salvation.
Your gift will fund social media outreach, translation projects, and community ministry to displaced and neglected people.
Each ministry enables our team to expand our efforts and see lives transformed by Christ. Through gospel ads and Scripture videos, thousands of people are encountering the message of Jesus Christ, many for the first time.
Those who want to know more use the contact information in the ad to talk with a local believer who is trained to engage seekers with the gospel. We also train our national partners to meet one-on-one with those seekers who continue to show that the Spirit is drawing them into the kingdom.
Your support will continue pushing gospel ads and videos to the web, training our online moderators
and providing travel funds for local believers to meet with those who are seeking to follow Christ.
In addition, community ministry outreaches help us meet new people and give us and our partners legitimacy in their eyes. You can help meet basic needs, such as providing food for their families and clean water. Community projects also include youth development projects, educational classes, and small-business start-ups.
Along with our local partners, we are building relationships to disciple new believers, planting healthy churches and developing local leaders who can spearhead this gospel work into new villages and towns.
What is the Lord asking you to do to help reach the Peoples of the Horn?
Prayerfully consider giving now to partner with us as we work towards the day when healthy, multiplying churches are impacting the Horn of Africa for the glory of God!
Gifts toward specific efforts show us what you are excited about. Occasionally, we may redeploy gifts as we follow God's leading with urgent opportunities or changing international contexts. Any gifts received beyond the goal go toward a similar project or our team support.
National Partner Training
We have the honor to teach African church members how to participate in the missionary task. For many, that means learning to evangelize, disciple, plant churches, and develop leaders in their home communities. Others use these skills to engage a near-culture people group in another part of the country. It costs $22 dollars a day for a 5-day training. Your gift will help to train 210 people a yea
Africans Taking the Gospel to Hard-to-Reach Places
Our local partners faithfully go to remote villages to engage the lost. Often, they need help supplementing travel expenses such as bus tickets, plane tickets, car fuel, food, and housing. Each trip costs $1,100. Your gift will provide for one trip every other month for a year to these hard-to-reach places.
Disciple-Making Resources for Church Communities
We are thankful that the Bible has been translated into local languages and for the IMB to provide funding for those to be printed and distributed. Your gift will help provide an additional $1000 a month to translate, print, and distribute theologically sound to fellowships and communities of believers, helping them more effectively study the Bible, grow in Christ, gain vision for ministry, and st
Sending Horn-of-Africa Peoples as Missionaries
We want to train, encourage, and empower indigenous missionaries as they go to reach under-engaged people groups in their country and surrounding countries. Local churches provide the basic living needs of these missionaries, but we would like to offer trainings and ministry-project funding. We currently partner with 105 African missionaries. Your gift will help provide $2,000 dollars per month to
Starting Indigenous Businesses
We want to provide seed money to start businesses that support indigenous believers who are living in extremely hard-to-reach areas. Many believers lose their jobs because of their faith in Muslim or Orthodox areas, and they have to move to larger towns and cities to find work. Starting their own businesses will allow them to stay in areas with little gospel presence. Your gift will help us offer
School Scholarships
To attend school in Africa, students need transportation to school, uniforms, school supplies, and books. We want to encourage children and youth to be in school, but many need financial assistance with these school-related costs. Whether it is a child without parents or a family with financial need, your gift will help underwrite $35 dollars a month to scholarship 50 students each year.
Marriage-Training and Disciple-Making Retreats
Our key national trainers often live in separate towns, with a maximum of two living in the same town. Your gift will help provide a $1,000 budget per family to bring them together once or twice each year for marriage and disciple-making retreats. We want these families to find refreshment, fellowship, and training to encourage their work for long-term health and multiplication.
Sara* and the Coffee Ministry: Meet Sara, a single mom with three kids whose husband left her because of family pressure since they’re from different tribes.
Sara joined the coffee ministry and moms’ group you support through your generosity. Through the ministry, she found encouragement amid her work doing hard labor to support herself and her children.
You helped Sara hear the good news that Jesus loves her. A few weeks ago, she gave her life to Jesus and joined our discipleship class.
Now, Sara is happy and encouraged. She even helps with the ministry by making coffee for the other moms in the program.
Your gifts paved the way for Sara’s salvation. God used your obedience and generosity to change Sara’s life forever.
God Works Miracles for Delilah’s* Family: Delilah and her family couldn’t sink much lower in life. They were beggars living near a garbage dump. One of their sons was in prison, and two others had significant mental health challenges.
You stepped into their messy lives when you gave to this ministry, and God worked a miracle. Your giving enables a team of believers to visit them regularly and pray.
How we prayed for Delilah and her family! God in His mercy heard those prayers and acted in power: He healed her children, and her son was released from prison!
Delilah and her daughter put their faith in Christ several months ago and began attending a local church.
God used your gift to change this family’s life and future. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit when He prompted you to give. We now have two new sisters in Christ!
Survival to Redemption. When Layla* discovered she was pregnant with their third child, her husband left her. Depressed and scared, with three small mouths to feed, Layla saw no options.
She was willing to work to support her family, but found she couldn’t because she now had an infant to care for. How would she and her children survive?
That’s when you stepped into her story! Your gifts helped our team meet Layla when she was begging near our ministry headquarters.
We invited her to join our program and immediately connected her with some daycare programs that agreed to watch her youngest child during the day.
That made it possible for Layla to start a small business selling boiled potatoes to provide for herself and her kids. Now, she’s planning to start selling local bread, too!
A few weeks ago, when we visited her, Layla gave her life to Christ. Praise God for drawing Layla to His love, hope, and provision for her and her children!
You were with Layla every step of the way. Your generosity put my ministry team in Layla’s city exactly where we could cross paths with her.
God used your gift for an eternal purpose, and one day, you’ll meet Layla, your sister in Christ, worshipping together around God’s throne.
Thank you for giving and praying for this ministry. Your generosity enables each of these ministries to strengthen believers and share the gospel with the lost.
Please join us in prayer:
You are an important partner in this ministry. Thank you for loving the lost and helping impact eternity!

Single mothers like Kassa* no longer have to feel alone and powerless in raising their children.
Your generosity is ministering to families, sharing the gospel with unreached people groups (UPGs), and improving the lives of women like Kassa.
Local believers are visiting homes, like Kassa’s, caring for people as if they were family. They share Bible stories and food, offer job-skills training, and provide children’s programs.
Through these kinds of intentional outreach initiatives, believers are demonstrating Jesus’ love through their acts of service to other UPGs.
As people feel cared for, they are open to hearing the gospel, and many believe. Christians can distribute Bibles, disciple new believers, and then go together into the next communities.
Thank you for partnering with local believers to change their communities from the inside out.
Please join us in prayer:
Your gifts and prayers share the hope and salvation Christ offers to those who need it most, like Kassa and others in the Horn of Africa.

Thank you for praying and giving to enable us to reach nomadic people in the Horn of Africa for Christ. Due to the rugged terrain, security concerns and limited Christian witness, most people live and die without ever hearing the gospel. Your faithful intercession and generosity undergird social media outreach, translation projects, and community ministry to displaced and neglected people. Through our gospel ads and Scripture videos, thousands of people are encountering the message of Jesus Christ, many for the first time.
God and His people offer physical and spiritual hope in an area plagued by debilitating poverty! Our team held several food distribution events this year because of your gifts. At a single event, we offered food and the gospel to 300 people while a local fellowship partnered to provide clothes and school supplies. As a result, seven people accepted Christ! Local believers are following up with encouragement and discipleship.
This summer, we offered two camps for young people, allowing them to hear the gospel and encounter God’s love through relationships with believers. Many in our country do not know a single Christian. The first was a soccer camp. We taught new skills, ran drills, and played and played and played soccer. The joy on kids’ faces as they saw their abilities improve and experienced caring adults, made the hours in the sun worthwhile. The second summer camp was a Vacation Bible School. Learning stories from God’s Word, working on crafts, playing games in recreation, and singing songs about the Lord helped these kids understand they have a loving Heavenly Father with a plan for their lives.
Please join us in prayer.
Thank you for partnering with us to reach the nations for Christ. We appreciate your sacrificial giving and prayers as we labor together to solve the world’s greatest problem: lostness.
