Why Indigenous Missionaries?

I and my family served for several years on foreign mission fields-that is, foreign to us. From experience I found that nationals have tremendous advantages over foreign missionaries. First, they don't have to spend months and years learning the language. Second, they are at home in the culture. Third, they don't have to worry about building up a ministry only to be told by the government one day, "Your visa is up. Go home, Yankee." Financially, most native missionaries live on a fraction of what it costs a westerner to live in the same area. For these reasons CO-Mission was founded. Our purpose is to assist and support native missionaries--missionaries to their own people.     Gary Glover
