Q…WHAT IS A PARTNERSHIP?
A… A Partnership is the process of a church in the United States "adopting" a community or local church located elsewhere in the world. The Partnership helps establish a local church where there is none and/or enables an already established local church to help the community with spiritual and physical needs.
Q… WHAT TYPES OF NEEDS ARE THERE?
A… The needs will vary from community to community. Our common goal is to glorify God through the partnership. The needs can include, but are not limited to, the following:
SPIRITUAL NEEDS
Evangelism Training
Discipleship Training
Crusades
Lay Leadership Training
Church Planting
Church Growth
Church Adoption
PHYSICAL NEEDS
Food and Nutrition Education
Clothing Projects
Shelter and Construction
Basic Hygiene Education
Basic Medical Needs
Q… WHO CAN BE A PARTNER?
A… Any church in the United States with a desire to help in an area that has needs.
Q… HOW ARE PARTNERSHIPS DETERMINED?
A… Partnerships are determined by looking at the skills and desires the church has and then matching it to a community that is in need of and would welcome that type of outreach.
Q… HOW LONG ARE PARTNERSHIPS?
A… Partnerships will vary in length from one to five years. Depending on the needs, some could last for over five years. Remember, once the needs and goals are met within a community and the initial Partnership time is up, the sponsoring church is free to begin a new Partnership.
Q…WHO CAN GET INVOLVED WITHIN OUR CHURCH?
A… The best answer to this question is everybody. There are many different areas in which your congregation can get involved in. These could include physically going overseas on mission trips, praying and preparing for Partnership events. While these are only three forms of involvement, each member of your church can play various roles in the Partnership. The opportunities are unlimited.
Q… CAN THIS HELP OUR CHURCH?
A… Absolutely! This Partnership will allow your congregation to work together for one cause--glorifying the name of Jesus Christ. Your church will be able to work together to help meet the needs of an entire overseas community. While working on the Partnership, you will see God at work first-hand. Seeing this, the church will begin to soften in heart and spirit knowing they are helping to expand the Kingdom of God. Many times, people who participate in Partnership activities or travel to the Partnership community will be called to the mission field.
