Unknown Nations is a Christian ministry that started in 1994 with a passion to see people in the developing world have an opportunity to become disciples of Jesus. As we learned that more than 3 billion people live in areas without access to the Good News, our hearts were broken. From that moment, God led us to pour all our efforts and resources into that initiative, reaching the unreached, and it became our calling as an organization!

When we understood that more than 80% of the population that has never heard the gospel are also oral learners (prefer to learn in a non-literate way) it required us to use an appropriate tool. Our solar powered audio bible, the Treasure, is available in more than 4,000 languages. Our listening group model is dynamic and nurtures long‑term discipleship making.

As we minister to millions of people overseas in the 10/40 window (location where unreached people live) we invite local Christians to join in this amazing opportunity. Since most American believers are not participating in ‘the ends of the earth’ ministry, we find great fulfillment in offering our very tangible ministry model. Reaching those who are unreached and mobilizing the church in America in strategic international missions is what we are all about!

• Highly valuing the Word and prayer.
• Living in community and loving each other.
• Being focused on our vision.
• High standards and hard work.
• Being growth‑minded.

To reach the unknown nations at the ends of the Earth—completing the last four words of Jesus’ calling.

The ends of the Earth are not the most distant places geographically. They are the most distant places spiritually. They are the most zero‑access, barrier‑ridden, spiritually antagonistic, spoken‑word reliant people groups on the planet. Unknown Nations exists to give birth to the Church in impossible places. We achieve this through our three strategic initiatives of creating access to God's Word, targeted humanitarian projects, and discipleship training.

Unknown Nations works with indigenous missionaries to reach barrier‑ridden people groups with the Bible. We provide humanitarian relief, plant churches, and distribute audio Bibles in areaswith a 0.00–0.02 gospel presence where Jesus is completely unknown. We’re changing lives and bringing hope.
