God’s heartbeat is for souls; therefore, when Jesus
gave the church the mandate to “…go and make disciples of all nations” (Mt.
28:19), He was entrusting us with the very essence of the Father’s
heart. Many churches participate in short-term missions projects and may
even support one or more missionaries, but to be a "Great Commission
Church" is something
entirely different. The Great
Commission Church
actively supports and sends missionaries, seeing every believer as called to
either send or go, with no neutral ground in between.
It is our goal to see local churches use their specific gifting
and anointing to go to the field and minister to our national partners; Connecting every tribe and nation
to a totally loving and completely holy God by equipping the saints to reach a
lost and dying world.
The missions experience can be one of total fulfillment of
God’s calling. The foreign field brings challenges for the missionary unique to
each people group and location. The more prepared and supported the missionary
is, the more fruitful the experiences will be. As we are committed to
fulfilling the Great Commission, the mandate to finish the task is upon every
believer. Together, we serve to win the lost in every tribe, every tongue, and
every nation.
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the
whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:14)

Spiritual Human Needs
Just as there are recognized basic human needs, we believe
there are also spiritual human needs which every person on earth requires. It is this conviction that compels us to action in serving our
brothers and sisters in circumstances where such needs cannot be taken for
granted.
-The need to hear to the Gospel in one’s own language at
least once.
-The need to have a Bible to read in one’s own language.
-The need to freely gather with other believers to worship.
-The need to teach and baptize children.
-The need to share one’s faith with others.
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?"
(Rom. 10:14)
