Establishing Thriving Churches

Establishing Thriving Churches

The goal is maturing bodies of growing believers

It’s not an accident that God commands all believers to function within a church body. He has put us into the universal body of Christ, and designed us to serve and grow best within the community of the local church body. Paul and his fellow laborers implemented Christ’s command to “make disciples of all nations” by establishing churches. It makes sense — disciples and thriving churches go hand-in-hand.

Following the pattern seen in Acts as God’s people carried out the Great Commission, we seek to establish mature churches that can take their rightful place as agents of change in their own communities and partners in the Great Commission.

“So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.”

Acts 16:5

Ethnos Canada’s training equips people to minister to an unreached people group, learning the culture and language, translating the Bible and teaching evangelistic Bible lessons with the goal of establishing a thriving church. Though the training is provided at the lowest possible cost, many candidates still need financial help. Gifts to this bursary fund are eligible for an official receipt for income tax purposes.
