In the Global South, which includes countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, developing and sending missionaries is a new initiative for most churches. Avant currently has appointees from the Global South who have completed  our Spanish-language orientation and are now raising their support to serve as missionaries around the world. 

The process of raising start-up and on-going support for North American missionaries can be difficult. But Latin American missionaries face an even greater challenge raising support. Many churches in Latin America are excited to send their missionaries to the nations, but their finances are much more limited.

Avant has established a fund for the Global South Missionary Launch that helps new missionaries with some of their one-time, outgoing expenses. The fund will be available for airfare, visas, furnishings, language studies, training, and other initial expenses. This will allow their sending church to focus on the ongoing monthly support. Your financial partnership will help get our Global South missionaries to the field sooner, and make it possible for them to serve in God's mission to the unreached areas of the world.
