He and his team of 12 church planters work primarily with refugees, meeting their physical needs and sharing the Gospel to make disciples and plant churches among unreached and unengaged people groups. They are presently engaged in 34 towns and refugee camps with 38 churches. Their goal is involvement in more than 200 towns with over 100 churches. The five-year goal is involvement in over 200 towns with over 100 churches. These are people and places where the Gospel has not yet been heard.
They encounter great diversity in the refugee camps as they minister to displaced peoples from many ethnic groups that follow different religions. Among the represented religions, Islam dominates with 70% of the population.
