freedom is not free. Neither is religious freedom
When COLETTI Veterans have gone to war overseas, they have found the Christian faith is often illegal and always misunderstood. There is no religious freedom–no chance for healthy conversations in these countries.
Today, twenty-five percent (25%) of the world’s population does not have the opportunity to understand Christianity.* A quarter of earth’s citizens belong to groups that have never had a meaningful opportunity to understand the Christian message. These misunderstandings often lead to violence.
When peoples have no churches, no Bibles, and no prospect to meet someone who knows anything of substance about Christianity. The Christian faith is often misrepresented and used to fuel hatred instead of love for their neighbor.
Of all the money that is given to Christian mission-work each year only 1% goes toward the 25% of the world’s population that has no access to Christianity. Only one percent!
COLETTI’s mission is to invest 10% of our profits to promote healthy interfaith dialogue in some of the world’s most dangerous places

We focus our giving toward four areas that have proved to make a meaningful difference:
- Bible Translation (e.g. Wycliffe)
- Religious Freedom (e.g. Voice of the Martyrs)
- Mobilizing new missionaries (e.g. frontiersusa.org/)
- Impact Grants (e.g. money given to one-time projects that enable access)
