We CAN Help

We’ve all heard statistics like this: Seventy-five percent of the world’s population live in areas where religious choice is severely restricted.*

Those are the people that have the least access to the gospel, yet their countries are the hardest areas to reach. Traditional missionary endeavors in these places are difficult or impossible. The good news is that, when Jesus directed His followers to make disciples of all nations, He would not have given this command without making a way to fulfill it.

That way is through creativity.

Goal #3 of BMM’s AMPLIFY strategic vision is “Expand.” We’re asking the Lord to open five new fields within the next five years—either new geographical locations, ministry types, or people groups. If some of these fields are difficult-to-reach countries (Creative Access Nations), we want to help missionaries overcome barriers so that more of the world can be reached.

Throughout BMM’s history, and especially in the last 40 years, we have helped people fulfill their burdens for Creative Access Nations (CANs). Creativity is at the heart of that help. Because no single solution will fit every situation, we draw upon our experience and contacts to find answers. Our Global Fit service option gives us a powerful new tool to work with unique situations.

Barriers to service may include visa challenges. Determining the most appropriate form of entrance into a nation can be another challenge. The growing tool of Business as Missions allows missionaries to find employment or establish a business as a means to enter their nation. After helping these workers get established on their fields, we offer support and resources to help them be as effective as possible.

Are you or someone you know burdened for a Creative Access Nation but don’t know how to take the next step? Contact us about your goals, and we can help you discover what it will take to move you forward. When it comes to Creative Access Nations, our goal is, “We CAN get you there.”
