Prioritizing the Unreached

Our heart is to reach the unreached (especially unengaged unreached people groups) and work toward eventually having them join in this Great Commission work.

Team Locations

East-West operates in more than 44 countries that encompass 10 major world regions. In each location, we are laboring to start church planting movements by mobilizing believers, sharing the gospel, equipping local leadership, and multiplying disciples and healthy churches.

John and Marissa joined a team serving among Muslims in the Middle East. Together, they run a local gym where they build relationships with locals in hopes of sharing the gospel. They also build relationships with other families in their city who also have young children.
