The Great Commission-Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All  authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Reaching the World


The Missionary Church is privileged to work with a gifted group of missionary staff and national church leaders that form a network for building the Kingdom of God around the world.  While strategies vary depending on the location and the target people group, establishing disciple making movements that result in local congregations is the primary goal.  The efforts of nationals and missionaries are cultivated and coordinated to help their effectiveness in reaching people and touching needs through spiritual resources.

 

Local Church and Missions
Each local Missionay Chruch in the United States is considered a part of the global ministry team.  Many staff memebers come from Local Missionary Churches where their gifts and calling for cross-cultural ministry are initially identified and cultivated.  The financial, prayer, and spiritual support of the missionary staff comes from members of many church congregations across the United States.  Missionary Church districts and regions are also getting involved, providing on the field guidance and assistance for both nationals and missionaries in specific locations.



Volunteer Opportunites
Local congregations have the opportunity to participate in volunteer mission trips that provide much neded assistance to our overseas ministry teams.  Volunteer service includes opportunities from short-term trips to assignments lasting up to two years.  Tasks often involve medical care, prayer walks, ministry activities or work projects.        

 

 

The National Church
The global work of the Missionary Church the last 100 years has resulted in the establishment of national Missionary Churches that are now independent and effective in their own cultures.  The U.S. church is not the only model for successful ministry in our world today.  National Missionary Churches are now helping one another and some are carrying out ministries in sensitive countries where U.S. staff cannot access because of political issues.  Illustrations of these partnerships are seen in the Dominican Republic helping Cuba, India reaching into Bhutan, and Kenya reaching into the Congo.
