Mission

Inspiring, Equipping, Fulfilling

In our passion to glorify God, magnify His grace, and exalt His Son, Jesus Christ, it is our mission to serve the local church by assisting in globally educating God's people in the principles of biblical evangelism; Exhorting them to fulfill the Great Commission; and equipping them with every necessary resource along the way. We do this primarily through the teaching and preaching of God's Word, strategic conferences, academic and practical training opportunities, networking platforms, and the production and dessemination of various printed and audio/visual media.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to Inspire and Equip Christians with the necessary tools to Fulfill the Great Commission by going out into the world and sharing their faith in a loving, biblical manner, without compromising the truth. All of our resources and programs move people towards this goal.

Our strategy is to continue to advance our message of biblical evangelism through existing and cutting-edge fields of contact and communication. We continually examine available modes of media, and the public's rate of interaction with each mode. The message of the gospel needs to go out, and the method needs to be as effective as possible.

We will continue to build upon the foundations of like-minded Christians who desire to see people come to Christ with repentance. We will continue to provide them with as many tools as possible to enable their reach into this world as far and impactful as possible. It is through their support that we are able to continue to produce the multitude of evangelistic resources that we can. It is for God's glory, and their benefit that we exist. Our continual desire is to come alongside churches and Christians, and help them as we work in God's field together.

Ours is an ongoing work. Some of our accomplishments are listed above, but there will always be more to accomplish and create until Christ comes again.
