CHURCH PLANTING AND MISSIONS
Compelled is at the forefront of a paradigm shift in world missions.
This new strategic approach recognizes the vital role native missionaries play in creating an efficient, effective, sustainable and enduring work in a region.
Native missionaries know the language and understand the nuances of each culture. They are uniquely capable of sharing the message of Christ love in a culturally relevant way.
In areas that are restricted or closed to Western missions, native workers are more able to freely move between tribes and villages. And they often are able to build relationships of trust more quickly and effectively.
Compelled works to train and support native missionaries to go into regions and people groups where the message of Christ’s love has never been heard.
When a new church body in rural regions grows past 80 believers, it is too large to gather in a pastor’s home. Finding a place to meet is difficult; villages rarely have a large enough building available for rent, and in towns where one may be available, Christians are often not permitted to lease it.
Having a place of worship is important for several reasons. In the most basic sense, it provides believers with protection from the extreme winters, and scorching summers in the region.
From a societal viewpoint, a place of worship helps overturn the perception that Christians are outcasts, by providing an acceptable place for people to meet together to hear the Gospel. A building creates a sense of stability.
