COUNTDOWN TO THE LAUNCH OF FiMIF
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Frontier Mission Impact Foundation (FiMiF)
FiMIF (Frontier Mission Impact Foundation) is a Christian missions initiative that mobilizes and channels financial, logistical, and entrepreneurial support to missionaries serving among Unreached People Groups (UPGs) and underserved communities.
UPGs are ethnic or cultural communities with very few or no known Christians and no self-sustaining church movement. A group is considered unreached when less than 2% of the population is Evangelical Christian, and there are not enough resources for them to hear and respond to the Gospel without outside help.
Although Christianity has existed for over 2,000 years, more than 3 billion people still live without access to the Gospel. Many African missionaries are ready to go but lack resources such as transportation, stipends, housing, and healthcare. FiMIF was founded to fill this gap and empower frontline workers with the tools they need.
- Vision: To see every Unreached People Group in Ghana and beyond engaged with the Gospel through empowered, well-supported missionaries.
- Mission: To mobilize and strategically channel local and global resources to support frontier missionaries and accelerate Gospel access among UPGs.
FiMIF supports missionaries with:
- Transportation (motorbikes, tricycles, bicycles).
- Monthly or quarterly stipends.
- Ministry tools (Bibles, projectors, tracts).
- Emergency healthcare.
- Business-as-mission seed funding.
- Materials for church planting and children’s ministry.
- Training and field support.
FiMIF is deeply committed to transparency and accountability. Oversight is provided by our Board of Trustees, who safeguard our mission, ensure credibility, and keep our focus aligned with the Great Commission. Working alongside them, the Finance & Audit Committee manages budgets, prepares quarterly reports, and enforces strict stewardship standards.
All grants and donations are carefully disbursed in tranches with clear deliverables. Missionaries must submit regular ministry and financial reports, while field visits are carried out for verification. This combined oversight from both the Board of Trustees and the Finance & Audit Committee guarantees that every resource entrusted to FiMiF is used with integrity and impact.

- Serve as Volunteer Ambassadors, mobilizing others to give and pray.
- Attend mission expos, fundraising dinners, or donor briefings.
FiMIF plans to meet at least once every four months for governance, but may meet more often during this formative stage to ensure growth and accountability.
- Pray regularly for missionaries and unreached peoples.
- Give financially through monthly partnerships, one-time gifts, or impact investments.
- Serve as a Volunteer Ambassador in your community.
- Network by connecting FiMiF with other professionals, churches, and organizations that share the same vision
