Cafe 1040’s mission was formed around the reality that there are billions of people without access to the story of Jesus. God chooses to use His people to change this reality – to tell the story of Jesus among all peoples. So we asked, what can we do to help get more missionaries in the places where they are most needed? And who will these missionaries be?
We believe young adults have a strong desire and unique ability to complete the Great Commission. Because of this, everything we do is focused toward mobilizing the emerging generation of missionaries from the pews of our churches to unreached peoples all over the world.
This generation needs to see it for themselves, so we invite young adults to come walk alongside long-term missionaries to see what their life could look like telling the story of Jesus among an unreached people group. We run our missions mentorship program among people groups from the 10/40 Window currently in three locations: North Africa, Central Asia, and Europe. While there, students are immersed in cross-cultural living, language, history, religion, and spiritual discipleship – all for the purpose of equipping the next generation of missionaries with the clarity and confidence needed to understand how their skills, passions, talents, and abilities can play a part in taking the story of Jesus where it has never been told.
Global Frontier Missions (GFM) is a movement of Christ-centered communities dedicated to mobilizing, training, and multiplying disciples and churches to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the least reached people groups of the earth.
