How do
Global Ministry Journeys fit into Perimeter's Global Outreach
Strategy?
*****
partners with national church planters-believers that have a passion
to see their country saturated with the Gospel through multiplying
healthy churches. In these fields we are strategically involved
through training national church planters and assisting church
planting movements.
Global
Ministry Journeys must feed our long-term efforts. Teams are primarily
limited to our partner fields, which focus our efforts and deepen
long-term relationships. We go to our partners asking if they would
like a team to come and what they would like for us to do. Our
partners are the ones with the passion and vision. They know the needs
and struggles of the field. Therefore, our field partners are
encouraged by Global Ministry Journey teams as they ensure the
strategy fits into the long term goals.
