Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this catalog through FrontGate Media in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. I was compensated for this post.
Advancing Native Missions is a Christian mission based organization that instead of sending out foreign missionaries that have little knowledge of the people or culture, they have native (local) missionaries to spread the gospel and minister. They are already accustomed to the physical climate, environment, and political situation. These missionaries live and minister on a fraction of the resources because their standard of living is comparable to those they serve. They also already know the language, people, and culture and can begin work with minimal training and preparation. They are more committed to working long-term because they already know and love the people; their own family, friends, and neighbors. These missionaries preach the Gospel, plant churches, care for children; found: schools, medical clinics, and Bible colleges to train others.
ANM has over 27,000+ missionaries, church planters, trainers, and workers working in 121 countries around the world with 49,000 + churches planted. Some of these countries that these native missionaries serve are closed to Western missionaries. This is the only way to get the message of The Lord out to them.
Through the Advancing Native Missions Gift Catalog you can help these native missionaries with gifts and donations to them and the people they serve so that they may live in better circumstances. You and your family can also pick from many causes and charities to aid and advocate for those that are in need, including:
- a Bible to a fellow Christian for spiritual growth
- a boat or bicycle to a church planter or pastor so they can travel easier
- a chicken so a family can eat and sell its eggs
- a Christmas gift box: a box of small gifts to a child in need
- a goat or sheep so a family can have milk and meat
- medicine to support medical outreach in impoverished communities
- a motorcycle so a church planter or pastor can access remote areas and share the gospel
- sack of rice to feed a family on the verge of starvation
- school supplies so that a student is more equipped to learn
- sewing machine so that a family can start a home business and mend clothing
- shoes so a child can play, do chores, and walk to school safely
- soccer ball so that kids can enjoy healthy recreation with friends
- well to provide clean and accessible water for a community
- etc.

| My daughter, Zari, looking through the ANM Gift Catalog. |
My Thoughts:
I believe that food and financial security is so important and so many in this world are starving, going hungry, and don't have any way to make ends meet. People are also being persecuted for believing in Christ and that is wrong. I know that I am fairly privileged to live in America where I am living fairly comfortably and free to be a Christian and share my beliefs. I am so grateful and thankful for this. My family is overjoyed to be able to share something so important and essential as the gifts in the ANM Gift Catalog.
Included in the catalog was a coloring book for my kids to color that is based on a true story about 4 kids that go the their grandparent's house and learn about generosity through hard work where they earned money to get gifts from the ANM Gift Catalog. You can download this coloring book when you sign up on the website.
