Why We Exist

Billions of people alive today have never heard the Gospel — not because they rejected it, but because no one has shared it with them. That is the most urgent problem in the world. That urgency drives everything we do.

Stoller Foundation exists to close that gap. We identify and fund 501(c)(3) ministries whose primary focus is verbally and proactively sharing the Gospel — because we believe evangelism is the first step of the Great Commission. Everything else flows from it.

When a person is transformed by faith in Jesus Christ, families change. When families change, communities change. But it starts with sharing the Gospel. It always has. Recently, an unreached Tribe in a very remote area of the Amazon experienced 50% of their tribe come to Christ after hearing the Gospel.

We don't wait for the mission to come to us. We seek out the ministries most effectively reaching the unreached, and we resource them to go further. Because every day without the Gospel is a day of eternal consequence.

This is why we exist. This is what we fund. This is the mission.
