Our Team

We believe that the New Testament example of missions is that of team work. We have a vision for a work in the Philippines, but we believe that to be the most effective we need a team of people to work with us. Many people believe they are not able to be a missionary because they do not feel called to preach or pastor. Working together as a team means that not all members of the team need to be called to pastor or preach. In fact, according to our goal and plan, we don't actually plan to have Americans pastoring churches. The one characteristic that will need to be present in all team members is a love for Christ and a love for the lost. There are some specific skills that we are looking for to round out our team, but if we have not love then we are nothing more than noise-makers.

First: We are looking for team members that are experienced and capable of sharing their faith with others. Most of this will be on a personal level.

Second: We are looking for people who can teach the Bible to new converts. Once a person is saved their spiritual life is just beginning, and they have lots of growing and learning to do. We will need help with discipleship.

Third: We are looking for men who are Godly leaders and are willing to teach men Godly leadership skills. For a church plant to be strong, it must have spiritually strong men to lead it.

Fourth: Sin is destructive to the Filipino families just like it is destructive to American families. We are looking for men who are comfortable counseling families that have been damaged by sin. The planted churches will only be as strong as the families that make up that church.

The list of skills that can be used on the mission field are innumerable. I have picked these four because they are the skills that I see as being of most importance to our specific plans and goals. If you feel like God has gifted you with one or more of these skills, then please search your heart and see if God would have you join our team.
