Mission

Headquartered in Afton, Virginia, Advancing Native Missions (ANM) is an inter-denominational, evangelical, non-profit missions organization that serves as a bridge between native (local) ministries and missionaries and the body of Christ in North America. ANM staff travel to the frontiers of global missions to personally survey and evaluate ministries that are bringing the wonderful news of Jesus to people in their own countries and communities. We look for ministries that adhere to the core beliefs of the evangelical faith, demonstrate financial accountability, and show strong evidence of spiritual fruitfulness. Currently, ANM stands behind more than 10,400 indigenous missionaries who are reaching their own people in 97 different countries around the world.

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

We believe all people everywhere should have access to the Gospel, but today more than 3 billion people around the world have still not heard the Gospel message. They don't live near a church, there is no pastor in their community, and they may not even know a single Christian. Since 1992 ANM has helped individual Christians and local churches solve that problem by getting involved in global missions in ways that make sense for them. Because we believe there’s a place for everyone in God’s global mission, even if someone can’t travel to distant countries and remote tribes.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

ANM exists so that all people everywhere will hear the story of Jesus. To do this, we encourage, equip, and advocate for strategic and fruitful local ministries around the world who are introducing the gospel of Jesus to unevangelized and unreached people where they live.

In Matthew 24:14, Jesus made a promise to His people — “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached among all nations.” We believe this is true and that every Christian has a part to play in the mission of taking the gospel to all nations. This is what keeps us moving forward until our vision is fulfilled.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

The key to our success is our native missions strategy. Instead of sending American missionaries to other countries, we create partnerships between Christians in the U.S. and native Christian workers serving in their own countries, because we believe in local leadership, relational ministry, long-term impact, sustainable growth, economical investment, and gospel-centered outreach.

Donations to ANM support native Christian workers who are already accustomed to the languages, cultures, and living standards where they live, so donors can accomplish more with less while participating in the global body of Christ.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Since 1992, ANM has developed a network of native partners in more than 100 countries, with a total of more than 13,500 local workers sharing the Gospel among those who have the least access to the message of Jesus.

Our generous donor community of thousands of individuals and hundreds of local churches support this work and help launch new initiatives where the needs are greatest.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

In 2020, ANM donors provided $6,022,498 to fund Gospel outreach, planted 1,561 churches, engaged 884 unreached people groups with the Gospel, and sustained ministry work in more than 100 countries, all through our network of 13,500 native Christian workers.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

President

Mr. Oliver Asher

Oliver and his lovely wife Andrea graduated from the University of Virginia (’88), married, and moved to the Dominican Republic to be missionaries—all in the space of three months! Their life together with Jesus and the five children they have been blessed with has continued to be an adventure. In 1995, Oliver graduated from UVA with his master's in civil engineering. The Lord called Oliver to ANM in 1996, and he joined the ministry after working for five years as an environmental engineer. As our President, Oliver’s passion is to team build, encourage, and love our staff members as we equip, encourage, and advocate for native missionaries to reach the remaining unreached people groups of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the glory of God.
