Why Indigenous Led

BLACKBOX prioritizes supporting the underground church and believers already working in the most difficult environments for the gospel. Indigenous workers already know the language and culture, have common ground in the community, are less likely to be kicked out of the country, and can more easily overcome barriers of understanding to know how the gospel speaks good news in their particular context.

Why Indigenous Led

Why the unreached

Today, there are over 3.2 billion people, or over 7,400 people groups, that are unreached. Lostness is the reality, but not having access to the gospel is the travesty. Despite this travesty, less than 1% of resources and less than 3% of missionaries go to the unreached. This results in the gospel poor remaining poor while the gospel rich get richer. In light of this, BLACKBOX focuses specifically on the hardest-to-reach places and people groups as identified on the Stratus Index and within the 10/40 Window where the most urgent physical and spiritual needs exist.

Why the unreached

Why Blackbox

Our sole motivation is to witness God glorified in every tongue, tribe, nation, and people (Revelation 7:9). Embedded indigenous workers are operating in the most difficult places to make disciples and plant churches, preaching the gospel in the shadow of immense persecution with strict security concerns. We take every precaution to protect our workers and projects. BLACKBOX speaks to the need to redact certain elements of our mission as we partner, promote, and protect our indigenous work among the hardest-to-reach places and people groups. What drives passion for unreached people groups is God’s glory, not guilt.
