Field Network Locations
The Field Network are the places and teams we send missionaries to serve. Our Field Network members are a combination of veteran missionaries and trusted national and international churches, all committed to seeing the gospel declared, new disciples made, and new churches planted. This Network allows for a more flexible, collaborative receiving process, while also connecting missionaries with trusted global leaders and facilitating partnerships with other sending organizations.
Below are the places we currently have teams and churches, along with locations that are in the process of joining the Network.


North Africa
We have a team serving in a coastal city in North Africa with a Christian population of less than 1%. This team takes an incarnational approach: doing business in the city in order to focus on evangelism and serving alongside the local, national church.
Both the city and nation as a whole have limited access to the gospel and need more cross-cultural missionary presence. Our team is looking for additional long-term missionaries to serve both on the team and in the business.
Kathmandu, Nepal
Upstream works alongside a healthy national church in the city of Kathmandu to make Jesus known in the city, disciple new believers, and plant more churches. Along with local church ministry, we work with our team to provided pastoral training to regions of Nepal with limited to no access to ongoing ministry education.

Our team is looking for mid and long-term missionaries to serve in their existing ministries as well as planting new churches in other neighborhoods and French cities.
