God is raising up indigenous leaders. These faithful men and women are positioned to reach some of the hardest places on earth, including Muslim, Animist, Atheist, and Buddhist strongholds, because they understand the language, culture, and risk.
The Challenge
National missionaries often lack access to affordable, cross-cultural training that equips them to serve effectively among Unreached People Groups (UPGs). Many face financial limitations, logistical obstacles, or persecution that hinders their preparation. Without structured training and field experience, their impact remains limited and unsustainable. Traditional approaches to training future missionaries and church planters continue to be challenged due to pressures and limitations from the lack of religious freedoms.
The Solution
New Asian Pathways has established strategic cross-cultural training centers across Asia to empower local leaders for frontier missions. These centers provide language learning, contextual evangelism training, and guided internships. Students are trained in culturally sensitive ways to engage with UPGs and launch new disciple-making movements. With your support, we can increase the number of students at these centers and thereby send more workers into harvest fields.
Why It Matters
- Scales Indigenous Missions: Training national workers multiplies sustainable missions in places where foreign presence is restricted.
- Builds Long-Term Teams: Field internships equip students to work collaboratively in multicultural teams reaching UPGs, utilizing both a minority and majority peoples approach for engagement.
- Strengthens Local Churches: Graduates plant churches that are culturally embedded and locally led, essential for lasting impact.
Your support can provide
- Living expenses for students in training
- Domestic and international field internship travel
- Culturally adapted classroom materials and technology
- Equipment to train hundreds of new cross-cultural workers
