We are embracing the truth that we are one body worldwide with native missionaries who are working to build the kingdom of God in their own countries. Many of the 300,000 indigenous missionaries are serving in places where American missionaries are not allowed to go. It's scriptural for us to help support and strengthen these believers who witness for Christ in lands of poverty and persecution. GCRI provides a credible way for us to partner with native missionaries as they show others the way from eternal death to eternal life.
