The Nations Are at Your Doorstep — A Mission Field for Your Church

For the first time in history, churches no longer need to go across oceans to reach the nations —the nations are now in our neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.

Yet many faithful churches feel under-equipped for this mission field.

Pastors and leaders ask:

    • How do we equip everyday believers to engage people of other faiths?

    • How do we build confidence without creating pressure?

    • How do we form disciples — not just run outreach programs?

ETHNOS exists for this moment.

What is ETHNOS for Churches?

Woman Laughing

ETHNOS is a biblically grounded, church-scalable framework that equips believers to share Jesus across cultures and faiths with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

✔ Helps your congregation understand world religions with biblical clarity
✔ Builds confidence for everyday gospel conversations
✔ Moves church culture toward sustainable discipleship, not programs

More than a course, ETHNOS is a discipleship pathway — forming the heart, theology, posture, and practice of believers so that gospel witness becomes part of your church’s culture, not just an event.

Why ETHNOS Works for Churches

Designed for engaging Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and people of other faiths

✔ Church-scalable
Works in small groups, classes, ministry teams, and church-wide pathways

✔ Relational & respectful
Built on listening, trust, and Spirit-led conversations

✔ Scripture-rooted & mission-driven
Anchored in the Great Commission and the work of the Holy Spirit

“Our church has a variety of experience levels when it comes to sharing the gospel with friends of other faiths. The training helped our members from those who are just starting out all the way to those who are sharing their faith regularly.”

Richard, Missions Pastor

“Our church is in a culturally diverse area. We did ETHNOS to prepare the congregation to naturally, authentically engage the nations who live among us. It was a catalyst that got people talking and sharing Jesus across cultures.”

Mark, Elder

Best course on cross-faith evangelism I've seen - and I've researched them all! 

Rachel, Deacon

“I’m leading ETHNOS to help my home group realize God’s heart for the nations. I went through the ETHNOS “test and learn” and it changed how I thought and acted about sharing my own faith across cultures. I love being an instrument in God’s hands to help others do the same.”

Cathy, Lay Leader
