Christian Aid Mission Assisting highly effective native missionaries preaching the gospel and planting churches among unreached people. Helping the poor and suffering by providing food, shelter, clothing, medicine and basic education. 434-977-5650
Why do we exist? The purpose of Christian Aid is to encourage and strengthen evangelical Christian witness in every nation, particularly where Christians are persecuted or few in number. We do not send missionaries. Instead we send funds to indigenous mission groups who send out their own native missionaries. These mission groups: 1) plant new churches; 2) help the poor, homeless and suffering; 3) provide Christian education and training; 4) take the gospel to those who have never heard it before. More than 90% of effective pioneer missionary work among unreached peoples is being done by indigenous missionary ministries. Yet they receive less than 10% of all the funds given for the support of missionaries by God’s people throughout the world. Christian Aid seeks to equalize this situation by challenging U.S. churches and individuals to transfer some of their missionary offerings toward the support of indigenous missionaries.What have you accomplished? We have contact with thousands of indigenous missionary ministries overseas. We provide help to over 700 missions located in most underdeveloped foreign countries around the world. By sending funds to the headquarters of the indigenous mission where group leaders then distribute the support among their workers. Thus, every missionary serves under the discipline of the leaders of his native mission board. By way of illustration, when Christian Aid first started over 50 years ago, it helped the work of Prem Pradhan in Nepal where there were few, if any, Christians in that Hindu nation. Through his mission, Churches of Nepal, Christianity grew. Christian Aid helped Prem set up schools for the children of these new Christians so they could learn to read. One who attended was a young man who eventually earned graduate degrees in Korea and America, and today he heads up a Bible institute in Nepal as well as an evangelistic ministry which has sent out over 150 missionaries.
