How to Help Native Missionaries
While not everyone is called into the field of global missions with their physical presence we are called to support and encourage those who are dedicating their lives to service through prayers and financial support. In this way, you play a vital role in fulfilling Jesus’s command to spread the good news to all nations.
We have partnered with a variety of ministries around the world each with a unique area of focus and passion for serving the lost and needy.

Currently, many of our efforts with this ministry are going to Ukraine refugees. But we are constantly on alert for areas of great need around the world.
About Them
| When natural or man-made disasters devastate a region, the local Christian community often springs into action, reaching out to love and serve their neighbors in need. This provides opportunities to share the gospel with people who are normally difficult to reach. | Local believers pray with those who have lost everything, listen to their stories, cry with them, and share that Jesus loves them. Many come to Christ through this powerful manifestation of love and truth. |
Donations towards this fund will be distributed to native mission groups who work closely with local churches in these hard-hit regions.
24:14 WORLD SPIRITUAL MUTUAL FUND
Investments in the 24:14 World Spiritual Mutual Fund are directed toward some of the most challenging front line missions working among the last unreached people groups across the earth.
About Them
Most successful mutual funds have at least two key ingredients: seasoned fund managers and a diversified portfolio intended to balance risk and growth. Investing in 24:14 World is akin to investing in a spiritual mutual fund. Our seasoned leadership team has devoted the last 50 years to building and forging relationships with native missionaries serving on the cutting edge of world missions. We are eyewitnesses to the first fruits of their harvest through the work of the Holy Spirit. | Investments in the 24:14 World Spiritual Mutual Fund are directed toward some of the most challenging front line missions working among the last unreached people groups across the earth. Some of these people groups are witnessing historic breakthroughs for Christ after centuries of darkness, spurred on by international current events. As with other mutual funds, 24:14 World will release regular reports on the utilization and yield of these funds to all investors. |
BIBLES FOR THE PERSECUTED FUND
24:14 World partners with several ministries who are working quietly to ensure that the printed Word of God and some electronic versions of the Bible reach the hands of the followers of Christ
About Them
| In countries where state-sponsored repression of Christianity is on the rise, Bibles are in increasingly short supply. Miraculously in these places, the demand for God's Word continues to surge as the Holy Spirit draws more people to Jesus. In such places, believers must meet in smaller and smaller groups, perhaps with only several trusted family members. Sometimes they end up worshipping alone. | Due to the scarcity of Bibles and the ever-present concern that they may be confiscated, some believers have chosen to memorize large sections of the Bible, so they themselves become "living Bibles." 24:14 World partners with several ministries who are working quietly to ensure that the printed Word of God and some electronic versions of the Bible reach the hands of these followers of Christ. |
MARTYRS FUND
Donations to this fund will go directly to help sustain the livelihoods of the families of Christian martyrs, typically in countries whose governments are openly hostile to the Gospel
About Them
Liu Haitao was martyred in China on October 16, 2000. He remained faithful to Jesus Christ in face of terrible beatings—even to the point of death. He joined the many thousands who before and after his death have walked the martyr’s road in their obedience to their Savior. As persecution increases across the earth, so does the likelihood of martyrdom for those who remain obedient to Christ Jesus. Many of those martyred for their faith leave behind struggling families. | While local Christian communities do their best to support the bereaved family, God is giving the church in the West an opportunity to share in the privilege of helping the families of martyrs. Donations to this fund will go directly to help sustain the livelihoods of the families of Christian martyrs, typically in countries whose governments are openly hostile to the Gospel. |
LIVING MARTYRS FUND
Donations to this fund will go directly to help sustain the livelihoods of these brothers and sisters who swim against powerful tides to represent the Living God in their communities
About Them
| Living martyrs follow in the footsteps of those mentioned in Hebrews 11 who held the course God set out for them. They have neither buckled to family or community pressure, nor to their local civil or religious authorities. Rather, they have remained faithful to the One who called them to be His disciples and representatives. The Bible describes these men and women as those “of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and dens and caves of the earth” (Hebrews 11:38) | Today around the world, many believers daily swim against powerful tides to represent the Living God in their communities. Despite physical beatings and social ostracism, they remain doggedly faithful to their Savior, refusing to deny Him or back down from their faith. Donations to this fund will go directly to help sustain the livelihoods of these brothers and sisters. |
RACE MINISTRY-1
Serving the Church and the MBB community, both in engaging Islam and in engaging Muslims... in the defense of the faith...and in implementing the Great Commission
About Them
What Is RACE
A ministry to the Church with focus on:
· Research leading to books and other media-based materials on the nature of Islam and its effect on our society, as well as position papers on policy issues such as Shariah and its impact.
· Advocacy to defend persecuted Christians in the third world, and increasingly in the West as Shari’ah Law is implemented and societies are Islamized.
· Christian Education through the development of a curriculum and publications for pastors, missionaries, mission leaders, apologists, and Christian professionals in the marketplace.
· Engagement: Equipping the Church and Christian civic leaders for informed engagement in defense of the faith, as well as reaching Muslims individually with the Gospel.
Problem Analysis and Solutions by RACE
Research
The initiated and conducted by RACE staff has yielded major position reports, presentations and papers on issues such as:
· The legal implications of introducing Shariah-compliant finance in the UK
· Compatibility (or the lack thereof) of Islamic doctrines and democracy
· The legal and economic implications of introducing Islamic dietary requirements on a global scale
Advocacy
RACE main advocacy efforts relates to dealing with the persecution of Muslim Background Believers (MBBs) in the Muslim and non-Muslim worlds. This representation varies from one country to another depending on the particular laws of the land.
Christian Education
RACE has developed full curricula for two types of audiences
(a) Pastors, leaders and missionaries interested in reaching Muslims and engaging with Islam on a theological and practical basis.
(b) Discipleship materials for MBBs and second-generation believers with MBB parents
Engagement
This has two distinct components:
1. Engagement with Islam: This is already in progress, so the real question is how to respond confidently in truth and love
2. Engagement with Muslims: Muslims are given a “different Jesus” in the Qur’an, and thus have been inoculated against the truth of the Biblical “Gospel.” Hence, there a need to make them aware of what the Bible actually teaches vs the assertions contained in their authoritative documents.
Why Work with RACE and Support it?
RACE is run by top experts on Islam and Biblical Christianity from Muslim backgrounds. They have lived Islam in the past, care for their Muslim families, and work among MBBs, church leaders, missionaries for effective ways to rise to the challenge.

PHIGA is devoted to giving impoverished girls quality and excellent Christian education, which in turn transforms entire communities and helps them break free from traditional worldviews in Liberia that have blocked progress. Located in Margibi County, Liberia, PHIGA currently enrolls girls from nursery to 5th grade. The Christian curriculum is structured to meet the individual physical, academic, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of each of their students. PHIGA is a key educational outreach of Petals of Hope International, which works with local communities in Liberia to prevent sex trafficking, combat inequality of girls and women, and restore lives through excellent Christian education. |
