WHY GLOBAL MISSIONS?

God calls every believer to play a part in expanding His kingdom around the world. You’re a participant in the “greater story”— God’s plan to bring redemption to all peoples.

But where do you start? What is global mission work? What opportunities are even out there?

Missions is kingdom-advancing work for Christ on a global scale, inspired by Jesus’ call to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). These efforts include,

Planting new churches
Strengthening existing churches
Training and supporting pastors
Translating the Bible
And more

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

The Great Commission from Matthew 28:18-20

LONG-TERM Sending

The path to long-term sending

A long-term missionary is equipped and sent out by the local church to proclaim the gospel, disciple believers and then plant and strengthen local churches. This is done across ethnic, linguistic, and/or geographical barriers. We take seriously our role, as the church, to train and send out qualified men and women to the nations. This process can take several years to complete.
