We are committed to fulfilling the great commission of Jesus, to "Go and make disciples of all the nations" Matthew 28:19. This starts with sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in a community and culminates with a strong local church that continues to teach the bible to believers, shares the gospel with all, cares for orphans and widows, meets the basic needs and transforms their community for the glory of God.

We celebrate the past victories God has granted us over the last 119 years of doing local and global missions. In just the last few years, God has granted us the opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with about 5 million people globally, to establish over 50 daughter churches, to assist in training 45,000 pastors to teach the Bible, to provide wells for needy people and care for hundreds of orphans.
