I'm not sure I understand your last sentence.
Most countries are third world nations. Many don't allow national organizations but the do allow missionaries. Other places, such as Saudi Arabia, we will always have missionaries there incogneto until SA changes politically

It takes time, money and lots of effort to bring a group of people in a nation up to the point of being financially independent enough to build churches, train their own church builders.

And even then they often still don't have the means to evangelize their entire nation so we still have missionaries who feel called to go there just as we have men here in the states called to go into some city and start a church

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
