What’s Unique About BLESS?

Focused where there’s no church, no Bible

Our diversified portfolio comprises Unreached People Groups that BLESS is committed to supporting long-term as Mission Workers move toward planting healthy, indigenous-led churches. Often, BLESS is investing in Unengaged areas, meaning we're helping send the first Christians to the area with the first plans to translate scripture into their local language.

Zero-cost fund structure

The BLESS Fund operates with a zero-expense structure, meaning 100% of donations go directly to Mission Partners. UPG portfolio funding is kept entirely separate from operational funding, managed through distinct bank accounts, and overseen by separate boards to ensure full transparency.

Long-term, sustainable partnerships

When BLESS adds a UPG to our portfolio, we commit to long-term support—5 to 10 years, and often even longer. Our goal is to provide faithful, strategic investment, enabling Mission Partners to focus on their key mission: sharing Jesus with the Unreached.

There is simply no other group like BLESS who finds, vets and funds the entire process of planting a healthy indigenous church. I believe this fuels the strategy of reaching the extremely unreached."
Todd Ahrend
Founder of The Traveling Team
BLESS has their whole heart focused on the task remaining, with a size and structure that allow for agility amidst complexity. Today, as a cohesive BLESS Fund, strategically vetting and committing long-term to walk with entire people groups as they embrace the Good News, make disciples, and plant churches, BLESS offers the single most effective approach to play our role as prayers, funders, and partners in the Great Commission.
