Since 1892, Avant Ministries has been committed to taking the Gospel to the unreached areas of the world. Avant believes the church is God's instrument in proclaiming the Gospel, uniting believers, and transforming communities. With approximately 500 missionaries in approximately 50 countries, Avant is dedicated to planting the church where it does not yet exist. Using a unique, team-based approach to church planting, Avant aims to develop mature, reproducing churches led by nationals in as short of a time as possible.
