Your generosity equips local churches in the world’s hardest places to serve with skill, courage, and the hope of Christ.
A 2023 article in The Gospel Coalition highlights how little church giving supports work among unreached peoples. Your generosity can help local churches serve in these often-overlooked places.

Ben Wright, The Gospel Coalition, July 13, 2023, citing The Traveling Team: 6% of Christian giving goes to overseas missions; 1.7% of that supports unreached peoples. Multiplying gives 0.102% of total giving. These are published estimates, not HOC’s allocation or current audited figures.

Mobile Bible Training and ongoing coaching help local believers grow in Scripture and ministry, alongside the practical skills they need to serve.
