We believe that GDMMissions is in a special place to help start local churches, without starting them ourselves. We work with missionaries and national pastors who know how to use us effectively in their church planting strategies.
#8 – Participate in Church Planting
The goal of evangelism is to see souls saved, but those who profess Christ need to grow in the Lord and be part of a local church where they can mature, serve, and reproduce spiritually. With GDMMissions you will experience church planting first-hand in its basic, formative stages. This is something unique in short-term missions. Missionaries and national pastors use our dental and medical evangelistic clinics to “jump start” the beginning of new churches in neighborhoods, villages, and towns where there is not a fundamental, Christ-honoring witness. When we return to the same areas year after year we have seen that what began as a handful of new believers has become a healthy New Testament local church as a direct result of our dental and medical evangelistic campaigns. If you want to observe, and actually participate in, planting new churches, then a field team trip with us will introduce you to this amazing experience.
Item of Prayer: That God might burden your heart to participate in evangelism that brings forth fruit in the formation and growth of local churches; that God would use you as He continues His program to build His Body – the Church – in this age.
