Jesus commissioned the church to make disciples of all nations. In the Gospels and the Epistles we learn God’s Gospel message. In the book of Acts we learn God’s missionary methods. When we study the methods of the book of Acts we learn that the Apostles fulfilled the Great Commission by planting churches first in Jerusalem, then in Judea, then in Samaria, and then in urban centers around the globe. In each church the Apostles would start, they would prayerfully seek indigenous disciples to lead the church in that culture once they left.
At Hope we send short term teams to serve our global neighbors, cross culturally seeking to identify indigenous church planting movements we can support financially.
Our Partnership Priorities:
-
- Someone at Hope has a relational connection to the ministry
- Indigenous to the Culture
- Directly engaged in the ministry of Christ-Centered Church Planting
- Ministering in a major metropolitan city
