About Team
About Coastal State Team
In this tropical city of half a million people, the spiritual diversity matches the diversity of the food and cultures. Islam holds the power in the area, but other faiths, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity, are allowed to operate as long as they leave the Muslims alone. But God loves them too much to leave them alone.
Our team exists to see a strong gospel witness, discipleship, and churches among all peoples and faith backgrounds in our area. Whether that means engaging university students, sharing with Muslim friends, presenting the gospel digitally, or working alongside local churches to see healthy discipleship and growth happening, we want to see Jesus's name proclaimed to all one million people living in the Coastal State and reaching beyond.

Team Projects
Support Specific Opportunities
Gifts toward specific efforts show us what you are excited about. Occasionally,
we may redeploy gifts as we follow God's leading with urgent opportunities or changing international contexts.
Any gifts received beyond the goal go toward a similar project or our team support.
There are 18.1 million Muslims in three countries who will likely never hear the gospel before they die. The laborers are few. However, most of those people have smartphones and social media. Your gift will put the gospel in front of millions of people and invite them into a conversation about Jesus and God's loving plan for their redemption. Praise the Lord that people who have never even talked to a Christian are hearing the gospel!
Where we live, more than 20 million native speakers lack ample access to the Bible and Christian videos, books, music, and resources in their heart language. But we're on a mission to change that! Your gift will translate Scripture and gospel resources and purchase specialized equipment to produce gospel music in this heart language. Join us in tearing down the barriers that stand between these people and the life-changing message of the gospel!
In nations unfriendly to Christianity, missionaries have turned to academia to reach those longing to hear God's love. Your gift will enable long-term workers to obtain research visas, effectively securing a decade of unhindered access in these challenging environments. Without these visas, the gospel's light would dim as workers are forced to leave the country. Help us ensure the message endures.

Team Efforts
Giving to one of our specific team efforts allows us to know what you are excited to see God complete within our ministry. Occasionally, we may need to redeploy gifts within our team strategy as urgent opportunities arise, as we do our best to follow God's leading, or adjust to changing international contexts. Any gifts received beyond the posted goal go toward a similar project or our team support.
