Who
- Who are the people of missions? stilluntold.org/why-me
- We believe that God uses ordinary people who will trust Him. Ethnos360 provides specialized training to supplement what you have received from ministers in your local church. There are a wide variety of skills and gifts needed to assist the team in establishing thriving churches where there are/were none. What can you do? Long-term or short-term, there is likely a need you can meet. Find Your Fit
- While many people like to go on “missions trips” very, very few will put their everyday lives on the line to bring eternal hope to people who have no access to the Gospel. Here are testimonies from some who have:
- Missionary biographies – stilluntold.org/books
- Video testimonies – stilluntold.org/testimonies
- Wayumi – At Wayumi (why-you-me), over a weekend or a week, you can learn what is involved in establishing thriving churches across huge culture and language barriers. You will see many different ways that you and people you know could have a part in what God is doing among unreached people groups. See Wayumi.com
