More than 85 percent of the nations on the Asian and African continents are hostile to western Christianity and prohibit foreign missionaries from proclaiming the Good News of salvation within their borders. For the gospel to spread throughout these vast regions, native believers and pastors must be equipped to reach their families, friends, and communities.
This is why Nations for Jesus (NFJ) is committed to training and supporting native-pastors who have been called to church planting. As a rule, local populations view national pastors much more favorably than foreign missionaries. Also, native pastors understand the nuances of the language, culture, and lifestyle that are often difficult and time-consuming for foreign missionaries to learn. Finally, training nationals is by far the most efficient use of NFJ's financial resources and the most effective way to reach these two continents that are desperate for the gospel.
Many of the countries on the Asian and African continents are both economically underdeveloped and very restrictive when it comes to Christianity. As a result, the struggling local churches do not have the finances they need to grow. Yet, NFJ is committed to helping them plant churches, even to the remotest parts of Africa and Asia. Please join NJF in praying for and supporting these brave national church planters as we work together to plant 25,000 indigenous churches by 2012.

Evangelistic Crusades
Nations for Jesus (NFJ) shares the good news of Jesus Christ by conducting evangelistic crusades in various countries. Each crusade is planned, led, and coordinated by local churches. The goal of each crusade is to build up the church as a whole by assisting congregations to proclaim the gospel of salvation in their communities..
NFJ's crusades include dynamic, Spirit lead preaching; screenings of the "JESUS" film in the corresponding dialects of the communities; and the distribution of Bibles and other Christ-centered publications. NFJ also connects the new believers that receive Jesus as their Savior during the crusades with local churches and gives them the follow-up materials they need to grow and develop in their faith.
In this way, NFJ partners with the local church to proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and transform communities to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
