About Us
NavMissions is the overseas missions work of the U.S. Navigators. We recruit, prepare, send, sustain, and care for American laborers, advancing the Gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom into the nations.
Our 400+ long-term staff work in:
- 40 of the 83 countries considered closed
- 24 of the 44 countries identified as Islamic
- 31 of the 59 countries of the “10 / 40 window,” which spreads from West Africa to East Asia.
An additional 700 Navigator laborers of 51 other nationalities are also advancing the gospel around the world!
Our History
In 1944, Dawson Trotman, founder of The Navigators, began to pray for every nation of the world. In 1948, God began to answer Dawson's prayer as The Navigators' first foreign missionary boarded a boat for China. Today, The Navigators ranks in the top 10 percent of foreign missions agencies in the number of overseas workers in active service.
Our Calling
To advance the gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers living and discipling among the lost.
Our Beliefs
The Navigators Statement of Faith
Our Strategy
- To strengthen discipleship ministries in countries where we have a presence, seeing them eventually become sending bases
- To expand into areas where it is typically difficult for Western Christians to serve and the Gospel is resisted
