World Indigenous Missions (WIM) was founded in 1981, originating among the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The core mission revolves around establishing indigenous churches and works that are self-governing, self-supporting, and self-propagating. This approach emphasizes equipping local leaders to influence their own communities with love and truth[1][3].

The organization's activities span a wide range of cross-cultural ministries, such as leading worship, teaching English, planting churches, caring for orphans, and developing creative media[1]. Over 110 WIM missionaries are currently active in more than 25 countries around the world[1].

• Committed Relationships: Building connections based on Christ’s love.
• Kingdom Perspective: Prioritizing the Kingdom of God over organizational interests and networking with other organizations.
• Servant Leadership: Leading by serving others in love, following Jesus' example[3].
