Reason #3: STRATEGY

Supporting national missionaries can be a highly strategic enterprise

Strategy is crucial to world evangelization. We must reach the most people, in the shortest time, at the lowest cost, among people who have the least chance to hear of Christ.

The focus of Mission ONE is to support those national missionaries who are working primarily in the 10-40 Window or World A, where most of the unevangelized live. Most of these people are Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, or animists who live in countries that are hostile toward foreign missionary activity. Nations like India, China, Laos — and the Islamic-dominated countries of Northern Africa and the Middle East — are closed to traditional cross-cultural missionaries and church planters.Ý

The poorest of the poor and the neediest of the needy-both physically and spiritually-live in this region of the world.

Strategy, partnership, Mission ONE. Mission ONE partners with both indigenous and international organizations committed to evangelism and church planting in the 10-40 Window. Mission ONE field representatives are trusted to formulate the best strategies for reaching the lost and planting churches. In addition, with regard to strategy, Mission ONE believes:

The gospel spreads fastest among a people when it can be communicated in their own heart language and when believers develop church traditions in their own heart culture.

Good mission strategy also includes ministry in the "harvest fields" of the world. One of the most strategic roles for Westerners is in the training of national missionaries.
