Church Planting

Global Frontier Missions is mainly a mobilization and training organization, but we do try to plant reproducible, organic churches along the way. After all, the best way to get trained is by "doing", so we want to learn how to plant churches overseas by getting involved in that type of work right here. Our strategy in the United States is to lead immigrants, refugees, and international students to Christ, disciple them, raise up leaders, plant churches and then let the local people run with the vision to make other disciples and plant other churches. We would love to see some of those disciples and leaders eventually go back to their own countries to reach their own people.

"Church planting" may be a little bit of a misnomer because Jesus told us to make disciples and that He would build His church. But for the sake of simplicity and not getting into symantics we call the whole process of seeing people come to follow Christ, getting them to gather together as the body of Christ, seeing leaders developed that can shepherd the flock, and seeing that family of Christ reaching out to others is what we consider church planting. Our ultimate goal is to send out pioneer church planting teams to help start church planting movements among the unreached people groups in the 10/40 window.
