Pilot program · Now selecting 5 churches

What if your church led a team that planted 100 underground churches in the unreached areas of the world?

We’re selecting 5 churches for a 6-month pilot to lead an indigenous church-planting team from your church and plant 100 underground churches in unreached regions each — 500 total. If it works, we keep going together to reach even more.

No need to send your members overseas. Your missions leader trains, leads, and encourages local workers through Zoom and WhatsApp, while your church tracks progress on a live prayer map.

A letter from our founder

We're testing something big, and we need 5 churches to help.

Pastor,

Tonight, in thousands of villages across the 10/40 Window, people will go to sleep without ever having heard the name of Jesus.

Since 2019, God has allowed us to see over 10,000 underground churches planted. We knew the field, we knew how to train leaders, and the work was steady. Yet we believed God could do even greater things, and we began praying for a breakthrough.

Then He gave us an idea.

It was a simple discipleship shift placed in the hands of ordinary local believers. Almost immediately, church planting exploded—in one region alone, teams went from planting 85 churches a year to more than 400 in just nine months.

Now that we know what's possible, we need to scale this across the globe. And we can't do it alone.

We need pastors who can mobilize their churches to do what no single ministry can do alone.

You already know how to lead people, build teams, and put faith into action. We'll bring the missions model, training, and field connections to help you put those strengths to work among the unreached.

The Great Commission was never given to a parachurch ministry. It was given to churches like yours.

That's why we're selecting 5 churches for a 6-month pilot to lead their own field teams. I'll personally coach you or your leader. If you qualify, we can get started right away since we're equipping local believers, not sending foreign missionaries overseas.

Looking forward to meeting you!

How it works

Your church leads the mission. We provide the training, team connections, and support.

  1. Apply and Connect

    Answer a few questions, then talk with our founder to discuss your church’s vision, commitment, and fit for the pilot.

  2. Build Your Team

    We connect you with trained local leaders in a country where we already work. These indigenous workers already live there and speak the local language. Together, you’ll build your mission team.

  3. Lead Your Mission

    Your missions leader trains and leads the local team remotely through Zoom and WhatsApp. Your church prays for specific districts and follows progress on a live map.

  4. Multiply Your Impact

    After the pilot, we’ll help you train more local leaders and explore expanding into new areas or countries.

Your Church. Your Team. Your Mission Field.

Lead a team reaching unreached communities around the world. Pray for your local workers, follow their progress, and see where new churches are being planted.

The map below is an example. During your interview, we’ll discuss which country would be the best fit for your church and team.

Explore the map to see what your mission could look like.

Pilot churches work with Lucas for their first 6 months.

85 underground churches last year.

Our team in Bangladesh planted 85 underground churches last year. This year, with our new discipleship system, they planted 432 in just the first 9 months — and the months keep getting bigger.

Same field. Same leaders. One simple system, reported and verified month by month.

A long-term partnership that starts with a 6-month pilot

We want partners for the long run, not one-time projects. The 6-month pilot gives you time to launch, rally your people in prayer, and see real results. That way, we both know it's a good fit. If it's not, you can stop. No contract. No hard feelings.

See if your church qualifies

Answer a few quick questions. We'll show you which path fits your church.

Churches lead this pilot, but mission agencies, parachurch ministries, and other Christian organizations are welcome to apply too.

First, what's your role in leading your church?

Would your senior pastor want to explore helping plant hundreds of churches among people who have never heard the gospel?

About how many people gather with you on a typical Sunday?

What best describes your church?

Does your church believe God still heals and works miracles today?

Does your church hold to the historic Christian view of marriage as between one man and one woman?

How much do you have left over in your missions budget, or could set aside, for the next 6 months?

Who would you trust to lead your church's missions team?

When your team launches, how much time could your missions leader give each week?

Last step. Picture a year from now.

Your church may be a fit to become an Owner.

Owners lead their own missions team. Next, book a 30-minute call with Lucas. You'll talk about your vision, your time, and if we're a good fit to work together long-term.

Questions pastors ask

Do we have to send people overseas?

No. Your field workers are indigenous believers who already live in the communities they serve and speak the local language. Your pastor or missions leader trains, leads, and encourages them remotely through Zoom and WhatsApp, while your church tracks progress on a live prayer map.

Do we have to stop supporting our missionaries?

No. This works alongside them. After a good pilot, we can also train your missionaries in our model if you want.

Can we work in a different country?

Yes, after your pilot. Every church starts in a country where we already have trained leaders. It costs less and works faster. A new country means finding new leaders and translating our materials, so it costs more. We'll help you plan it after your pilot goes well.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of team your church wants to lead. We'll walk you through the options on your call. 85% of every dollar goes straight to the mission, and 15% helps us train more churches to do the same.

What if our team doesn't speak English?

That's okay. We built a tool for it. Your missions leader types in English, and your team reads it in their own language on WhatsApp. When they reply, you read it in English. No translator needed.

How much of my time will this take?

It may take 1–2 hours per week. The more you invest in your leaders, the more fruit they will produce. You pick one missions leader to run it, and we give them a simple checklist. Your job is to share the vision and the monthly update.

How do we know the results are real?

Every field team reports each month in the same way. We'll check the reports and follow up at 6 and 12 months. You'll see exactly what your giving does.

What if we don’t reach 100?

You will still have planted real churches. Every number we report is a real gathering of real believers, so even a short pilot leaves your church with new churches standing, leaders you helped train, and a congregation that is now on mission. None of that rolls back.

How do you keep people in the field safe?

We never share field leaders' names, villages, or faces in public. Your dashboard only shows numbers and approved stories.

Why only 5 churches?

Because our founder is coaching every pilot church himself for 6 months. We'd rather help 5 churches well than 50 churches poorly.
