Finisterre Vision

Finisterre Vision is dedicated to finishing the Great Commission in the Finisterre Mountains of Papua New Guinea by engaging the people that no one else will.

51 people groups in the Finisterre Mountains have not yet heard the Gospel, and have no Bible in their own language. Could God be calling you to make a difference?

Each of their 860 PEOPLE GROUPS have their own language, their own specific culture, their own idioms, ideals, and their own distinct worldview. Each one of these groups needs the gospel. Less than half have the New Testament translated into their language. Though New Guinea is open to the gospel, there are many groups who still do not have access to the Word of God in their language.

The task is immense, but can be accomplished ONE language at a time.

Knowing that Jesus commissioned believers to disciple every language group, we focus our efforts on this one area which includes 7O people groups, 51 of which are still unreached.

Individual languages are found in clusters of related languages. We call these clusters, “Language Families”. Learn about the needs of each of the languages in the Finisterre Mountains by browsing through the profiles below. Could God be calling you to make a difference by going? Or by sending a missionary to one of these languages?

What We Do

How do you go about planting a church in a village in New Guinea? What are the steps? What do you do the first day? The first year? How do you know when the church is ready to function on their own without you?

Training is vital! We want to help prospective church planters acquire the tools necessary to be effective in sharing the gospel and discipling believers cross-culturally in Papua New Guinea. The curriculum is about 250 hours of time together in the “classroom”, plus assignments. It will take 1-2 years to complete, though we can move as fast or slow as you’d like. We are very flexible on location (my living room, Starbucks, church classroom, online meeting, etc.).

Finisterre Vision is focused on training and sending church planters to the Finisterre Mountains of Papua New Guinea. It is a very specific vision with an end goal − to see indigenous churches praising and glorifying God, and a new region of the world permeated with the gospel.

We train missionaries to be ready for church planting in PNG by building upon the theological and pastoral training that they receive in their local church. Our training covers 4 main categories: Strategy, Family & Team Dynamics, Ministry Abilities, and Learning Language.
