Frontiers has always attracted people who are dissatisfied … who recognize that what they see in the world generally doesn’t line up with God’s intentions.
That’s why a “hunger” permeates this organization. Our workers want something more. Abiding in Jesus, they watch where He’s going and want to be there.
By His commands to be fruitful, God has empowered His followers to take the Good News of Christ where it is not known. For that reason, Frontiers places great emphasis on preparing, equipping and supporting those who have heard His call to the Muslim world.
Because they are dissatisfied, our workers are eager for coaching and upgrading – for lifelong learning – particularly in areas that will lead to fruitfulness.
They are also anxious to learn from one another … to share, rather than hoard, information. The degree of openness between Frontiers’ workers might surprise you – not only their openness with new ideas, discoveries and successes, but concerning missteps, opposition and failures as well.
These people actually expect to make mistakes, and even to experience defeat. After all, scripture mandates that fruitfulness comes at a cost. They know that. Like a rose bush that must be cut back in the winter in order to bloom in the spring, those who would be fruitful will similarly be “pruned.”
Throughout history, pioneering has exacted a price. Being first is almost synonymous with taking risk. Church planting among Muslim people groups is a very entrepreneurial activity. So, it follows that risk takers gravitate to Frontiers.
“A discontent, risk taker who is desperate for God” … does that describe you? If it does, we have
opportunities you may want to explore.
