Strategy Coordinator
(This is a non-stipendiary position. Thus, interested individuals can volunteer their time for this ministry or they can raise their own financial support through AFM to be compensated for this ministry)
Is God Calling You?
Do you have a passion for those with no access to the gospel? Are you a strategic thinker and leader? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to see a church-planting movement take root among an unreached people group? If your answer to the above questions is yes, we invite you to explore the possibility of joining AFM as a Strategy Coordinator. We’ll help you and your church to discern how you can actively participate in planting churches among unreached people groups. If you are called by God, we will mentor and send you as a crosscultural worker to the unreached.
Church-Planting Movements
Since the early 1990’s God has been starting miraculous, rapid multiplication of churches where the church has not existed, among unreached people groups with no previous knowledge of Christ. Strategy Coordinators facilitate these movements mobilizing all available resources in cooperation with all churches and missions working in that people group or area. Strategy Coordinators follow a holistic mission approach with a single purpose of starting and sustaining an indigenous church planting movement.
What Will It Take?
Our Strategy Coordinators are based in both the U.S. and overseas. They are assigned to the largest and least evangelized people groups of the world. We are consumed with a simple question, “What will it take for everyone in a people group to see and hear Jesus?”
Prayerfully with that goal in mind, we:
- Research and survey
- Design and implement comprehensive strategy
- Advocate, network, and build a team

Anglicans in Nepal
In 1987, undeterred by harsh living conditions (no running water, no electricity, and cold Himalayan temperatures) and the potential of persecution, The Rev. Norman and Beth Beale followed God’s call to Nepal. Their ministry vision crystalized in 1990: to see God birth a church planting movement among the Tamang (a Tibetan-Buddhist Himalayan tribal ethnic group in Nepal). In 1994 the Beales joined Anglican Frontier Missions and received training as Strategy Coordinators. They asked, “What must be done to see a church planting movement develop?” The Rev. Beale remarked, “During the 1990s we witnessed masses coming to Christ who wanted to become Anglican.” Accordingly, The Rev. Beale began laying the foundation of the Anglican Church in Nepal in 1996 which was founded in 1999 when he was installed as the first Dean. Today, there are 58 Anglican Churches in Nepal with 9,000 baptized members because one couple dared to go where the church is not and become a Strategy Coordinator.
