Our Vision

Is to Plant Bible Based Vibrant Churches that impact their Communities And To raise up local Missionaries that can help to expand the work quicker

The Person of Peace

We find a person who is have influence in his community and that we know that God have called them to pastor a church. Sometimes we have led them to lord. We teach them biblical foundations and leadership skills and how to teach the Word Of God. Then we go out to the streets and we evangelize the neighborhood one on one. We start bringing them together into small groups in their area and when we 4-5 small groups we bring together into a bigger building where we have Sunday service.

Why Home Groups?

It helps building community. Christianity is about relationships there are many scriptures that encourages relationships. Together we are stronger and can learn from each other. It also help us train leadership quickly. Which also helps to EXPAND the church very quickly and effectively. We have a training system that developed and train leadership so that they can confidently and full of faith serve their community.

Key Church

Not only do we put the principle of duplication in our home groups but in our churches also. We focus on planting a key church that can train and develop key leaders and who can go out and plant churches. We found that this is the most effective way to plant churches quickly.

Equip To Expand

Did  you know that that 85% of the world pastors in specially In Africa, Asia and Latin America have no training at all. That is have we have developed our own training program that can effectively train pastors not only in biblical skills but also how to manage their Churches

Aid & Special Projects

The majority areas we work in  is mostly rural and it is out of reach from most big Nonprofits can only focus on the masses. That is why there is a need for smaller nonprofits like us to help the those who needs help the most. As some of the needs are different, we are a Jack of all traits. We always do work through a local church or with the purpose to plant one the area.
