The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada has been described as "people of the map." It means we have a deep and prayerful interest in all corners of the globe and all peoples of the world. As we look at the map, we identify peoples who have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. And we take steps to pray for them and seek the Lord as to how we can tell them the good news.
It means that the Alliance has often looked into forgotten or ignored portions of our world. It means identifying those known as "least-reached" people groups. And it means often sending workers into difficult and resistant areas.
As part of the Alliance thrust into the 21st Century and with a view to hastening the return of our Lord and King, we have identified four areas of the world that are home to millions of these 'least-reached.' To identify these regions and make it easy to remember them in prayer, we have created the Four S Venture to underscore our desire to reach these peoples. The four Ss are: Silk Road, Caribbean Sun, Desert Sand and Asian Spice.
