Our Core Values
In a world filled with need, we are often asked why we focus our efforts on distressed and underserved communities. The answer is simple: these areas represent one of the most significant and overlooked mission fields of our time. They are places where the need is immense, but the presence of clear, biblical truth is often scarce.

Why Distressed Communities?
Missionary Field Opportunity
We see these communities as fields ripe for harvest but lacking in workers. Consider these critical questions:
- What percentage of missionaries are being deployed to and hired within these deeply neglected areas?
- More importantly, what percentage of local men are being equipped, trained, and recruited from these communities to become spiritual leaders for their own people?
The disparity is often staggering. While resources are sent elsewhere, these communities are left to navigate immense spiritual and physical challenges alone.
Reformation Among the Underserved
When a strong, biblical presence is absent, other voices rush to fill the void. What is the spiritual footprint in these communities? Too often, it is a landscape shaped by:
- Liberal or Heretical Teachings: Distorted versions of the Gospel that offer no true hope or transformation.
-
Interfaith Confusion: A blending of beliefs that dilutes the unique, saving message of Jesus Christ.
Without a firm foundation in biblical truth, generations are left spiritually vulnerable. We are committed to reformation—restoring a biblical, theological foundation where it has been eroded or has never existed.
Overlooked, Unchurched, and Spiritually Neglected
These communities face a unique combination of spiritual and socioeconomic challenges that create a cycle of hardship:
- A Lack of Christ-Centered Hubs: There is a profound absence of biblically sound churches and training centers that can anchor the community in truth.
- Socioeconomic Hardship: High rates of poverty and unemployment create an environment of desperation and instability, making it difficult for communities to thrive.
- Barriers to Opportunity: Limited access to quality education and resources further perpetuates the cycle of poverty.
- Underfunded Missions: There is a critical shortage of funding and support for trained leaders who must dedicate themselves full-time to this mission field, hindering long-term impact.
The result is devastating. In a nation that may be considered "Christian," countless children are growing up without ever hearing a clear, biblical presentation of the gospel. We believe it is our mandate to go to these overlooked places, to stand in the gap, and to bring the light of Christ to the darkest corners.
