ABWE is an independent Baptist missions agency that has about 1,000 missionaries serving in more than 60 countries helping to start local churches that will pick up the torch of missions.
ABWE is international in that we have administrative offices in both the USA and Canada, and we partner with indigenous missions agencies and churches around the world. We are intercultural in that we welcome personnel from every racial, cultural and national background residing in North America.
The total ABWE family numbers around 1200 including field personnel, headquarters staff and Board. Approximately 450 couples and over 100 single men and women serve as teams and partner with national colleagues in more than 70 countries.
The number of churches that send missionaries with ABWE is about 500, and the number that supports our missionaries is 4,000–5,000.
ABWE missionaries carry out a complete spectrum of biblical ministries, specializing in discipleship- evangelism that plants and multiplies churches that will pick up the torch of missions themselves and launch their own local and global missions movements. Our objective is: church-planting movements leading to missions movements for the glory of God. “From every nation to every nation!”
In countries where traditional mission work is restricted, ABWE provides education, medical care, humanitarian aid and other cultural projects to open doors for the Gospel. Through all our work, we seek to share the story of hope, build communities of faith and serve the world with love.
