JUSTIN & TARA MACK
Project42 Founders
Justin and Tara have traveled to over 50 countries, while serving as missions pastor at River Valley Church for the past two decades. They started Project42 in 2018 with the laser focus of raising awareness and resources for the 42% that have yet to hear about Jesus. Together, it is their great ambition to see Jesus glorified by the remaining 7,000+ people groups that have yet to worship the one who has given them everything.
NORTH ASIA WORKERS
Project42 Frontline Workers
We’re thrilled to welcome back one of the first workers supported by Project42. Serving in Northern Asia, their stories of hope, loss, arrest and miracles are sure to inspire and ignite your passion for the mission of bringing the gospel to the 42% of the world considered unreached. We can't wait for you to hear updates of all the things God is doing
MIDDLE EAST WORKERS
Project42 Frontline Workers
This family followed God’s call from the suburbs to the Middle East, where they’ve spent the past eight years serving among locals and refugees. Using farming as a practical tool, they’ve built relationships and witnessed God at work, seeing disciples made and lives transformed. Their obedience is leading to hope and the Kingdom advancing in hard places.
