"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!'"

Kho People Group

The Kho make their home in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, and most live in the upper valleys, where farming is very difficult due to the dry, rugged mountain terrain.

The heart language of the Kho is Khowar. It is spoken in homes and villages, and through it, children receive their informal education about the customs, traditions, values and beliefs of Kho society. Khowar’s oral tradition is full of beloved poems and songs, passed down from generation to generation.

Even in primary school, most instruction is done in Khowar. By middle school, though, children are taught Urdu, the primary trade language. Arabic, the language of the Qur’an, is also taught in schools, and English is added at the secondary school and college levels.

The Kho are 100% Muslim and very resistant to outsiders and to the Gospel. Because they live so far from any major city, accessing them is difficult and will take significant effort and great perseverance.

  • Prayer Points
  • Quick Facts

  • Pray that the Kho people will receive dreams and visions of Jesus.
