Revelation 7:9-10 (NKJV)
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Aim 4 the World : Until the whole world hears.
There are 7,455,381,000 on this planet. Of those, 3,450,000,000 have never once had the opportunity to give their heart to Christ. Over 2 billion have never even heard the name of Jesus. There are 16,500 people groups on earth. Nearly 6,685 have no one preaching the Gospel for them to hear. Someone has to be His voice to them. Revelation 7:9 tells us that every kindred, nation, tribe and tongue will join the song of the redeemed.
One of every three people in the world live in India or China. Most of the missions focus there to date has been in metropolitan areas, but both nations are over 70% rural. India has 600,000 villages of which 500,000 have never heard the Gospel. The most effective way to reach them is to equip the native believers to become church planters.

You could bring more people to Christ in foreign lands by supporting indigenous missions than if you went as a missionary yourself! If you haven't heard yet, AIM (AIM 4 The World) is very different from other mission organizations. We don't send Americans to live as missionaries overseas. In most places where the unreached live, westerners aren't even allowed. Additionally, the average American missionary gets a little over $80,000 per year. With that amount we can support 22 church planters in Russia, 33 in Moldova, or 133 in India! They know the language, slang, customs, laws and culture. They can eat the food and tolerate the weather. It's no wonder the indigenous are so much more effective in bringing souls to Christ!
Matthew 28:18-20 New International Version (NIV)
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
