Mission Statement: This is a statement that sets forth the
goals and purpose of the organization and serves as a guide in
making critical decisions that effect the direction of the ministry.
Mission Statement of the Global
Ministry program at *****: To mobilize
the membership to participate in partnerships with
indigenous ministries in establishing and strengthening
church planting movements and holistic ministry opportunities around
the world.
Mobilizing
Every believer has been designed by
God to have an active and significant role in the body. ***** is
committed to assisting each member to understand their giftedness
and to provide an avenue whereby they will be able to participate in
an aspect of the global ministry program. The goal is to mobilize
both the members and resources of ***** to facilitate national church
planting movements through the development of Global Ministry Teams.
These teams will mobilize prayer, develop funding sources,
coordinate Journey teams, and develop life-on-life relationships
with our national church-planting partners.
Partner Relationships
The development of partnership with
indigenous ministries is a strategic way to serve the needs of the
international church, and at the same time, strengthen the church to
preach the Word of God to the lost, plant churches, and develop a
church planting movement. Partner relationships begin as
spiritual partnerships and then progress to project or working
partnerships.
Indigenous
The term indigenous implies something
that is existing, growing or produced naturally in a particular
region. ***** believes that the church must be indigenous to a
particular people and correspond to the cultural setting in which it
is found. ***** is committed to facilitating the development and
strengthening of leadership, ministries and evangelization which is
carried out by trained men and
women within their own cultural contexts.
Church Planting Movements
***** desires to participate in
helping indigenous church leadership equip
believers for the development of a contextualized church
planting movement. A simple,
concise definition of a Church Planting Movement (CPM) is a rapid
and multiplicative increase of indigenous churches planting churches
within a given people group or population segment.
