God has richly blessed ***** with spiritual, financial, material and human resources for the building up of His Church both locally and around the world.  It is our desire to share a portion of these resources with partnering ministries in order that the gospel will be proclaimed and local church movements be developed and strengthened.

The following are guidelines which are used to assist in establishing these partner relationships. 

Both ministries:

  • desire to enter into a spiritual, biblical community relationship.  The emphasis is on the development of opportunities for each member to minister to the other in prayer, 'one-another' ministries, and mutual encouragement.

  • are operating under indigenous leadership, are self-governed by a duly constituted national body or board, and maintain the indigenous nature of the ministry.

  • subscribe to a common set of foundational doctrines of Scripture.

  • are committed to a mutual trust relationship and a desire to share complementary strengths and resources with one-another.

  • have a passion for the development of a church planting movement model of ministry where the final criteria for evaluating the sharing of resources will be based on the establishment of ministries which are not based on a dependency model.

Specific Ministry Settings:

  • Compassion ministries are directed first to assist believers in need who are a part of a partner relationship with *****.  Sharing of resources will then be directed to areas of ministry with which members of ***** have participated in short-term projects.

  • Youth and college ministries will be evaluated according to their involvement with partner ministries and then with organizations which are developing ministry leadership in other settings.

Types of Ministry:

  • Church Planting Movements

  • Leadership development

    • formal education assistance

    • lay leadership training

    • training and assisting in writing and publishing materials

  • Micro-financing ministries

  • Compassion ministries

  • Youth / College ministries

  • Vocational missionary
