White Fields specializes in providing start-up salary support to indigenous pastors starting local evangelical churches among their own people in countries outside North America. The goal is to support pastors who already know the language and the culture. These pastors and their families live with and like the people in the poor community they are reaching. In addition to sharing the Gospel and teaching biblical discipleship, the newly started church seeks to transform the entire community through compassion ministry and livelihood development. The newly planted church helps the believers establish a means of feeding themselves.
