"The witness of the Frontiers workers is a source of inspiration and encouragement.

"If you really want to learn to lean on God and see His mighty power displayed across cultural barriers while having a ridiculous amount of fun, you should probably sign up [for a short-term trip]!"
"God is proving to be the constant that He is in the world. It is encouraging to hear how He is moving in the Muslim world."
- a Frontiers financial partner
"The exposure you get through short-term service is incredible. To throw oneself into a world ignorantly is sometimes the wisest thing you can do."
"As donors, we are excited by the strategic impact Frontiers is having in fulfilling the Great Commission among Muslims, and we want a greater sense of ownership."
"Frontiers' ministry to people that live in 'closed' countries excites me! Knowing that they have NGOs [nonprofits] trained and dedicated to reach these people makes Frontiers quite valuable."
- a Frontiers financial partner
"Because Frontiers has a proven track record of engaging the Muslim world with integrity and evangelical effectiveness, we are joyous partners in prayer and sharing of finances."
"Frontiers has our enthusiastic support (prayer and finances) for taking the Good News to Muslims. We are so thankful for the many God is calling to go and who are saying, 'Yes!'"

Bhatiara People Group

The Bhatiara, Bhatia, and Jhojha people of India all live somewhat near each other in the north central region of the country, near the capital of Delhi. The Bhatiara are found in the north central part of Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state.

The name “Uttar Pradesh” literally means “northern province” and was given to the state at the time of India’s independence in 1950. UP, as it is known, borders the country of Nepal to the north and is home to the cities of Agra and Varanasi, which annually draw multitudes of tourists.

UP boasts the second largest economy in India, and though much of it is due to tourism, agriculture still sustains the state’s economy.

Islamic influence in northern India began around the end of the 12th century, and today there are more than 30 million Muslims in the state of Uttar Pradesh, making them the largest minority within the state’s mostly-Hindu population.
