At Avant, we have a consuming passion for the unevangelized people of the world.
We love to watch God eternally transform lives through the churches planted by our
missionaries.
Founded in 1892 as Gospel Missionary Union, Avant Ministries is one of the oldest
missionary sending agencies in the United States. Avant was the first evangelical
mission to enter Ecuador in South America and the Republic of Mali in West Africa.
Pioneering missionaries labored faithfully and waited years to see nationals come
to Christ.
Today, Avant is breaking the boundaries of traditional missions.
By God’s grace, we’re moving into new territories with new techniques, including
Short-Cycle Church Planting, to preach the unchanging gospel of Jesus Christ. We’re
strategically partnering with national believers who can carry on the work and multiply
the results.
Intricately linked to our past with a fresh vision toward the
future, God continues to bless Avant and our 300 missionaries. We trust that He
will continue to use us to carry His name to the lost people of the world.
