Closing the Gap for the Unreached

/by

The Challenge

You may have heard this before, but many miss its significance: only approximately 1.7% of charitable giving each year goes toward mission work among the world’s hardest-to-reach peoples (source).

Less than 2%.

That is a tragic imbalance.

These are the places where unreached people, those who have never heard the good news of Jesus Christ and His gift of salvation, live every day. Many also face extreme poverty and limited access to basic resources.

This reality means most Christian resources don’t reach the people with the least access to the Gospel. The people who need to hear the message of Christ most receive the smallest share of mission funding.

How Can This Change?

People like you can change this.

You can play a key role in addressing this imbalance by supporting SIU’s pioneering and proven partners throughout Africa and Asia with a year-end financial gift.

Our partners and their growing networks of believers are actively sharing the Gospel among the least reached. Together, faithful donors, the SIU team, and local leaders create a multiplying Kingdom impact that results in new believers, new disciples, and new churches.

Would you partner with SIU to reach the unreached?

Historically, twenty indigenous leaders trained using SIU’s orality toolkit have conservatively led to at least 60 new believers and 12 new house churches within the following year. The multiplication often continues far beyond that, creating Spirit-led movements that can impact entire communities.

Help Us Accelerate the Movement

The time is right.

God is opening doors for Kingdom impact across the harvest fields of oral cultures throughout Africa and Asia.
