Holistic Mission

Holistic Christian mission is based on the example of the first missionary, Jesus Christ, and on the work of Paul and Barnabas as they traveled to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. When Jesus taught, he also healed and restored people to a place of social, religious, and economic viability. Jesus also went to share the good news with the people on the margins of society; the poor, the outcasts, and the vulnerable. He welcomed children and women in a society that welcomed neither. We believe that because Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God and demonstrated it through his restorative acts, that we must follow his example.
