Global Mission Team
The starting point and the core value for missions is that lost people matter to God and he desires to bring them into fellowship and completion in Him through the person of Jesus Christ.
The mission of Hope Community Church is to glorify God by introducing people to Jesus, connecting them with his family, and equipping them to be Christ-like ministers.
The purpose of Missions within Hope Community Church is to extend our mission beyond cultural, linguistic and geo-graphical boundaries in order to aid the church around the world in the task of making disciples.
It goes without saying, that if we believe in the power of prayer we will understand that the greatest impact we can have for anyone is to pray for them. For many of us prayer may be the only way we can reach out to the people in the world that we do not know and the ethnic groups that we don’t understand.
Understanding that Missions is the reason why Jesus came to die for us helps us to realize that we need to change the purposes of what we do to better touch those around us.
Some key ideas and concepts about missions follow:
-
It all starts with God.
-
Missions helps us to see God’s point of view.
-
God takes pleasure in your participation in missions.
-
Missions participation is part of your act of worship to God.
-
God has the greatest power to work through you when you feel the weakest but are willing to submit to Him.
-
Part of you purpose in life, if you are a believer, is to be a missionary.
Hope Community Church currently supports more than ten missionary families and ministries.
Each year we encourage cross cultural opportunities. This is both to encourage our career missionary families and to allow God the opportunity to broaden our vision for the lost and what he is accomplishing all over the world.
