Missions Development Programme

The mission of God as revealed in John 3:16 is of love, giving oneself, descending and moving among the lost, and sharing eternal life. Just as God loved the world and gave his only begotten son as a sacrifice, believers need to spend and be spent by reaching out to global frontiers to win souls for the expansion of the Kingdom of God (2 Corinthians 12:15). This programme equips believers and churches and para-church institution by raising awareness on the calling to be fishers-of-men and command to go beyond Jerusalem to preach the gospel as witness to the unreached places and peoples. Its is an experiential training and commissioning programme to call and equip believers with the understanding, knowledge, and wisdom to exercise the power given by the Holy Spirit in boldly stepping out for missions. The believers then engage in missions through short-terms and prolonged field missions, prayer, financial, and skills and talents support for missions. The aim is to preach the gospel of the Kingdom of God in places, sectors, communities, and social groups where Christ is least or not known and accepted as Lord and savior of the World.
