FAQs

Co-Missions Global offers short-term mission opportunities that support gospel advancement among unreached people groups.

• Connects teams with ongoing, locally led ministries abroad

• Coordinates and supports the trip process (planning, expectations, and on-field collaboration under local leadership)

• Invests in long-term pioneer missions work among people groups with little to no access to the gospel

In obedience to Christ, Co-Missions Global seeks to fulfill the Great Commission by inspiring a missions-focused culture within the church, connecting followers of Jesus across the globe, and supporting pioneer missions to unreached people groups.

An unreached people group is generally defined as a group in which 5% or less identifies as Christian and 2% or less is evangelical, with no local community of believers able to evangelize their own people without outside assistance.

Mission funds are used to support both the immediate needs of each mission and the long-term gospel work Co-Missions Global exists to serve. 25% of mission funds go directly toward supporting gospel advancement among Unreached People Groups, while the remaining 75% is used for operational expenses and in-country logistics related to each mission.
