Traditional access to the least-reached world is closing. We build real businesses in a hard place — and use them to forge the kind of people who can stay, work, and plant churches that outlast us.
The need
One hundred and twenty-nine million people.
Almost none of them have ever met a Christian.
Six countries sit across Central Asia. Together they hold more people than Japan, and among them the church is smaller than almost anywhere on earth.
Figures from Joshua Project, 2026. Six countries: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan.
In one of the six, the figure is zero. Every one of its fifty-eight people groups is unreached, and the evangelical population does not round up to a tenth of one percent.
Joshua Project estimates the region needs around 2,538 pioneer worker-units for initial church planting — a worker-unit being one person or one couple. That is the scale of the gap.
Why now
The door is not closing.
It is changing shape.
Across the least-reached world, residence permits for religious workers are drying up while permits for business owners, manufacturers and employers are still being issued.
That is not an obstacle to route around. It is the door God left open — and it happens to demand exactly what discipleship has always demanded: years in one place, real skin in the game, and a life other people can watch.
The faith mission heartbeat
We are standing on
the shoulders of giants.
Nothing about this model is new. Three men worked out the principles long before us, at a cost we have never had to pay. We are simply applying them to a part of the world their methods could not reach.
Operating by prayer and free-will offering. No high-pressure solicitation — we report God’s work boldly and trust the Holy Spirit to prompt the resources.
Mobilising marketplace leaders to build permanent Kingdom infrastructure — businesses, centres and campuses that go on launching the gospel for generations.
A revolutionary commitment in which every worker leverages their professional life to match the urgency of the Great Commission.
Honour the faithful work behind us. Face the unfinished task before us.
The ten-year vision
153 strategic units.
Around forty communities.
A strategic unit is one trained person, or one trained couple. Not visitors on tourist visas — craftsmen, teachers and business leaders with a real trade, a real company, and a real reason to be in one place for decades.
They are never sent alone, and they are not the finished number. They are the seed of something larger.
They go into a new city together and start a business between them. That business is the reason they can live there, the income that sustains them, and the room where they meet everybody else.
Employees, students, neighbours, families. Local believers take responsibility as fast as they can carry it, and what forms is a transformational community — a church with businesses inside it, mostly local, led locally.
So the 153 is not a headcount of everyone involved. It is the number of trained people it takes to start forty communities — and most of the people in those communities will never have left home.
Where things stand
This is not a proposal.
It is already running.
Everything on this site is described from something that exists. Seven years in, one hub is operating and the next three cities are already in view.
Ground zero. A working campus where the businesses, the classrooms and the assembly are within a few minutes of each other.
Established, led locally, gathering weekly around the table. Not a plan — a congregation.
Active expansion inside our host country, with people and connections in several beyond it.
More than twenty interns and apprentices have come through so far, from England, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States. The majority describe it as a life-changing experience.
What we are inviting you into is not a first step. It is the next one.
Where to start
Four things worth
reading first.
Each one answers a different question, and they are meant to be read in order — but start wherever your own question is.
All of Central Asia for King Jesus.
153 disciplemakers. Eight cities. Six nations.
