"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!'"

Wanetsi People Group

The Wanetsi live primarily in the northeastern part of the province of Balochistan, near its capital, Quetta. As a people group, the Wanetsi are closely related to the Pashto, the majority people in Afghanistan and one of the largest groups in Pakistan.

They are separated from the rest of the Pashto by their distinct variance of Pashto. Though there is some debate about whether Waneci is actually a separate language, the Wanetsi hold to it strongly and do not want to simply adopt the neighboring Pashto dialect.

There is a need for basic healthcare training among all the people groups of northern Pakistan. Beyond that, very little is known about the specific lifestyle, customs, and culture of the Wanetsi. Since no Gospel material is available to them in their language, they are only able to hear about Jesus through the trade languages of the larger people groups that surround them.

  • Prayer Points
  • Quick Facts
  • Ask God to soften and prepare the hearts of the Wanetsi people to understand the Gospel.
  • Pray for opportunities for believers to share their faith with the Wanetsi.
  • Pray that Muslim background believers from other people groups will share the Gospel with the Wanetsi.
