Hope at the Edges Fund

Our Hope at the Edges Fund embodies the calling that led Dr. Ralph Winter to start the US Center for World Mission. Our mission then and now is to take the hope of Jesus to the edges of the world where the Gospel has not yet reached.

Your gift supports every aspect of our mission. This year, we are featuring three strategic initiatives your gift will help support:

Women’s Leadership Initiative - Women are often the primary ambassadors for the Gospel in least-reached places, but their leadership has been historically overlooked. Your gift will train and empower women serving as indigenous missionaries reaching Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists.

Next Generation of Indigenous Missionaries Initiative - One generation ago, believers who followed Jesus while remaining rooted in Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist communities carried the Gospel into places “outsiders” could not reach. Now their children need belonging, formation, and training to carry that witness forward.

Southeast Asia Initiative - Close to 2 billion Southeast Asians haven’t heard the Gospel. Compared with other mission fields, far fewer workers have been equipped to engage these communities. This initiative equips those serving in mission fields shaped by a religious tradition that often presents unique barriers to Gospel engagement.

You may give to the Hope at the Edges Fund, or tell us which of these initiatives you would like to support. Every generous gift, at any amount, carries hope to the edges.
