How we got here
For His Kingdom Missions was founded in 2007 with a conviction that has only deepened: the local, native church is God’s plan for reaching the world. We started small with a handful of missionaries, a handful of partners, and a network of native believers in places most Americans have never heard of. Nearly two decades later, that network has grown across two continents, but the model hasn’t changed. We believe the best missionary to reach the people group is the one who understands them best - the one who is native to the culture in which they live.

The Skinner Family, having served as missionaries in Honduras, now direct FHK from the US office. They are Reed, Kim, Cassidy, Hannah, and Corban. Our missionaries in the Tolpan tribe are Herminio, supervisor of Mission Activities with missionaries Neto and Mauricio. Lissy, our staff assistant, coordinates our efforts in-country and all the administrative work. In Bolivia Daniel and Gisella supervise our team of 5 missionary couples working across the country in remote tribal locations with multiple church plants in process among 5 different tribes. In the Middle East Phil and Fardose lead our teams across the region in several countries, but for security reasons we cannot give out additional information.
We’re not a project. We’re a long obedience in the same direction.
Our Mission
To make disciples among the unreached by sending missionaries native to the dominant culture of the region into unreached locations and planting a church through building relationships and sharing the gospel, forming a congregation, discipling, identifying and training church pastoral and elder leadership, and leaving behind a native self-led church.
Our Vision
A faithful witness of Jesus Christ in every tribe, every village, and every closed country — proclaimed in heart languages, by people who call those places home.
How FHK Works
Why we utilize native missionaries
A foreign missionary can take years to learn the language and build trust. A missionary native to the dominant culture of the region already speaks the primary language, knows the customs and understands the people. They aren’t seen as outsiders because they aren’t. When the gospel takes root through them, the church is growing in native soil.
Once our native missionaries have identified an indigenous local man of peace in the target population, we begin sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Once we have new believers, we come alongside them, discipling, providing training and Bible resources, our missionaries living among them sharing their time and experience, and praying for them as the new church plant grows. Once we have established local church leadership, the work belongs to them. Our role is to make sure they have what they need to keep going.

What guides our work.
Relationship First
Real change happens through long-term, trust-based relationships... not short-term campaigns.
Local over imported
The native church is the best church for the people it serves. We support; we don’t replace.
Faithful over flashy
We measure success in years and decades, not in social media metrics.
Sustainable over scaled
A small, healthy work outlasts a big, fragile one.
Planting A Church From Scratch
Until every nation hears.
Revelation 7:9 paints a picture of every tribe, tongue, and people standing before the throne. We labor for that day. Will you labor with us?
