Imagine . . .

You are a follower of Jesus and have the opportunity to impact the nations of the earth in a similar fashion that the printing press did for the Protestant Reformation. Every day your life becomes a fulfillment of Jesus’ final teaching to his disciples, the Great Commission! 

You are joining a team that provides historic, first-time access to the Good News for thousands of individuals, families and villages that have never heard of Jesus.

You are mobilizing and providing an on-ramp for the 99% of Christians who, until now, have no expression of “ends of the Earth” in their life – an area that every believer is called to have personal involvement.

Unknown Nations

We are a Christian ministry based in Grand Rapids, MI, 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!

Our culture is characterized as:

  • Highly valuing the Word and prayer.

  • Living in community and loving one another.

  • Being focused on our vision.

  • Embracing positive attitudes.

  • High standards and hard work. 

  • Being growth-minded

Our Mission:

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 areas with a 0.00–0.02 gospel presence where Jesus is completely unknown. We’re changing lives and bringing hope.
