Program areas at Unknown Nations

Distribution of the treasure in the area from 10 degrees to 40 degrees north of the equator (the 10/40 window) where there is the highest concentration of unreached people. The treasure is supplied with teaching and listening groups established with the ultimate goal of planting a local church
Humanitarian aid. Very often the unreached areas are comprised of people living at a subsistence level. When a natural disaster occurs (fire, flood, drought, etc. ), or displacement due to government or group persecution, it provides an opportunity to be the hands and feet of jesus through provision of humanitarian aid. While there we are able to demonstrate and teach about the love of christ.
Discipleship training. Discipleship centers and outposts have been established to train the most promising local leaders to teach, establish listening groups and start an indigenous church planting movement. This discipleship training can range from a 1 or 2 day training session to a multi-year program for youth.
Domestic education - teaching about the great commssion and the need for jesus in many parts of the world
