How to Partner

As you can imagine, we are going to need tons of prayer and financial support to implement this vision into the context of our community. We believe that God has and is raising up individuals and churches to partner with us in this wonderful privilege of advancing the Kingdom of God. It is overwhelmingly clear that Jesus’ essential call was to plant churches.

Virtually all the great evangelistic challenges of the New Testament are calls to plant churches, not simply to share the faith. The ‘Great Commission’ (Matt.28:18-20) is not just a call to ‘make disciples’ but to ‘go and baptize’. The best method to do this is to continually plant new churches with the vision to reach the unchurched people groups of the community.

With our community being as poverty so poverty stricken, we need you. Not only can you participate in the fulfillment of the Great Commission from within our church, but you can also reach and take care of the poor as Jesus desires and the prophets have preached. In essence, by partnering with our church you will be worshiping Jesus as He commanded in John 21:15-17. You can be a part of this exciting adventure by partnering with us in the following ways.
