In 2005 we launched a great $12 million vision to do more than we have ever done before to “make disciples” worldwide.

“Fulfilling The Mission” means providing adequate funding for several mission ministries: 1. Training more Mission Teams in our Residential Mission Department. 2. Equipping additional youth missionaries in the Adventures in Missions training program. 3. Increasing our efforts to train foreign nationals in our Branch and Associate Schools. 4. Translating and distributing quality Bible teaching materials in the languages of the world. 5. Providing scholarships to hundreds of church leaders overseas to study our online courses. 6. Reaching into the U.S. mission fields through interactive video conferencing.

The world is waiting. Please join us. “Let’s Go… Fulfill the Mission!”
