The Magazine for Serious Disciples

At Mission Frontiers we believe that reaching the unreached peoples is central to what God wants to do to reconcile a lost world to Himself. This is the vision that we are committed to declaring to the Body of Christ worldwide. I want to personally invite you to partner with us in this effort by advertising your frontier mission related resources in Mission Frontiers. We feel this is the best way to build the frontier mission movement as a whole. If you are a frontier missions related organization -- either sending, service or a college or university -- and you would like to reach our audience of 80,000 missions-minded readers, please be sure to contact me. I would be happy to discuss the details with you. At Mission Frontiers, we are not just looking for advertisers, we are looking for partners in the cause of Christ. Take a look at the advertising information listed below and then fill out the information form provide and hit the submit button. You may also give us a call at 626-398-2281 or E-mail me at MFads@uscwm.org
