Over 100,000 people have believed in Christ during that time. Thousands of believers have been trained as leaders. Hundreds of churches have been formed.

This is why ministry is carried out entirely by nationals and former Muslims—some of whom were even terrorists. All are passionate about bringing the gospel to their fellow countrymen and do so at great personal cost and risk.

GCM exists to transform Muslims worldwide through Jesus Christ by means of disciple making, church planting, and leadership development. GCM supports ministry in 14 nations around the world.

Started by The Alliance for the Unreached, A THIRD OF US engages Christians in the cause for the unreached, increasing awareness of the need and sharing how to get involved.

The Alliance for the Unreached believes that until Christians become aware of the need, we will continue to see the number of unreached people grow by tens of thousands every single day. A group of like-minded organizations, passionately committed to seeing this trend reversed, formed The Alliance to raise awareness among American Christians about this tragic reality and unite them in a vision to bring the Good News of Jesus to every people group.

On Pentecost Sunday every year, the Alliance hosts the International Day for the Unreached. This day includes various ways to spread awareness and rally as many people as possible to join the cause.

With your partnership, World Concern’s efforts reach deep into the most remote corners of the planet, where climate and geography, societal instability and scarce infrastructure create incredible challenges to the people living there.

The ministry workers seek to fully immerse themselves in the interests of the people they serve, enabling them to plan, scale, and develop programs tailored to each particular community’s circumstance.

World Concern asks the people helped to serve alongside the ministry — building the programs they need — enabling them to realize their God-given potential.
