Partnering with frontline leaders for the least reached.
Striving for restoration, encouraging
one another, of one mind.
2 Corinthians 13:11
-
3 billion people still lack access to the Gospel.
-
Less than 1% of Christian giving reaches them.
That’s why SGM partners with indigenous pastors and ministries—equipping them with the resources they need to disciple believers and plant churches that last.
​
​Because the most effective way to reach the least reached is through those who already know the language, culture, and the cost of following Jesus.
Where we work.
Myanmar (Burma)
Amid instability and persecution, the church in Myanmar is growing. Through children’s homes and feeding programs, SGM partners with local leaders to bring hope and the Gospel to vulnerable communities.
Nepal
In a nation where only a small percentage follow Jesus, the church is bringing light to some of the poorest communities. SGM partners with local ministries to disciple believers and spread Christ’s love in hard-to-reach villages.
By supporting discipleship conferences and theological training, we help strengthen the church across Pakistan.
In a context where Christians are often marginalized, SGM invests in leaders who have little access to training.
Pakistan
Thai-Burma Border
Along the border, displaced families live in camps with little security or opportunity. SGM supports indigenous ministries caring for children, feeding the hungry, and sharing the hope of Christ among the most vulnerable.
Children's Book Project
Copies of Mommy, What is Salvation? have reached over 45,000 children living in poverty in the U.S., China, and Latin and South America.
New editions for Myanmar and Pakistan are in process.
Each book is translated and illustrated for local culture, then distributed through indigenous ministries so children receive the Gospel in a way they can understand.
This project continues to grow as a strategic part of sharing Christ with the next generation.
​
What We Believe.
​
-
The Gospel is for every people and nation.
-
Indigenous leaders are the key to sustainable, Spirit-led growth.
-
We partner, not from above, but alongside faithful believers.
-
Transformation comes through discipleship, not dependency.
​
About Us.
After years of serving cross-culturally, we realized the most effective way to share the Gospel was not by sending more teams, but by partnering with those already called by God. In 2003, SGM launched its first partnership in Cuba, followed by Myanmar and beyond. Over the past two decades, God has expanded our ministry across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond—always through leaders who already know the culture, language, and cost of following Christ.
In 2011, we formally established Strategic Global Missions, Inc. to unite these growing efforts. Today, SGM partners with ministries in Myanmar, the Thai-Burma border region, Nepal, Pakistan, and more—always with one vision: to make disciples where Christ is least known.
