Our Ethos

Who we are…

An international community that believes Jesus is who He claimed to be: the Son of God, the Light of the World, the Way, the Truth and the Life. As He told His disciples, “If you have seen Me, then you have seen the Father.” (John 14:9)

Who we are…

Recipients of abundant grace who recognize Jesus’ authority over our lives as we strive to love the people He loves, especially Muslims who have not been told about Christ’s sacrificial gift of Himself for them.

Who we are not…

Seeking to bring the peace of Jesus Christ to the nations, we desire to be the embodiment of His love to the Muslims around the world.

An organization working toward the downfall of another religion. Rather, we exalt the person of Jesus Christ and His total sufficiency to save all sinners who repent and believe. Following the rules and rituals of any religion does not lead to the new birth necessary to reconcile with God.

Who we are…

Messengers with good news that eternal life may be found through faith in Christ and His works, rather than our good deeds.

Then who are we?

We are a community that sends workers to the harvest in Jesus’ name, because the Holy Book (the Bible) gives us the command to do so. Jesus Himself says, ”Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

Our desire is to see reproducing fellowships of Muslims following Jesus – not just acknowledging Him as one of many prophets, but worshipping Him as risen Savior and Lord. We desire to see these fellowships thrive under the leadership of indigenous, Muslim-background believers who continue in their communities and cultural traditions.

Inevitably, when you talk about sharing Jesus’ message with people from cultures other than our own, colonial-era words like “missionary” or “missions” come to mind, which bring along with them images of “converting people to Christianity.” Frontiers desires its teams to be identified with Jesus, rather than a job title, religion, or country. If we encounter a stumbling block in our relationships with Muslims, may it be only in the person of Jesus and His identity as Savior and Lord.
