All of our overseas efforts are focused on the part of the world called the 10/40 window. In short, this is the part of the world that is the most densely populated with the least amount of people who have access to the Gospel. It's not that they've decided Jesus isn't for them, it’s that a majority have never even heard of Jesus!
ABOUT US
We live to know God and make Him known; therefore our heart is to see the least reached reached with the love of Christ.

OUR CAMPUS
Our building was formerly a hotel. So we have hotel rooms that have been converted into student housing and some staff housing. We have classrooms in former conference rooms, offices, ballrooms, a full commercial kitchen, dining hall, our own coffee shop, swimming pool, courtyard and playground, basketball court, workout room, and more!
Since pioneering in 1993, we have been dedicated to seeing Christ glorified in our lives while bringing His transformation to the 10/40 Window. Our heart's desire is to see people live out their part in God's story. We have five main teams that help make this goal a reality. Our training team runs a multitude of Discipleship Training Schools (DTS) as well as second level university courses. Our mobilization team works to engage people in missions. Our impact team helps to send out new missionaries and make sure the ones currently serving are well taken care of. Our remaining two teams keep everything running smoothly.
