Priority Areas

Platform 67 focuses its projects on people with least access to the Good News and supports locally led, cross-cultural gospel work through indigenous gospel workers and partner ministries. It helps churches engage in mission through Bible teaching, prayer information and resources. Its funding priorities include advancing the Christian faith and relieving poverty, particularly among deprived and needy people where the Gospel is least known. Its projects also provide access to Bibles, use digital technology for gospel witness, partner with ministries serving refugees and displaced people, and offer practical help to disadvantaged communities. Grants to partner agencies follow research into alignment with its objects, public benefit, delivery capacity, governance, financial accountability and reporting.
