Play your role on the Making Missions History Team
“Man has begun to understand the real meaning of life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.”
— Elton Trueblood
While we stand absolutely amazed at what the Lord has done through this ministry since 2005 (fruit that is measurable) we know that there is an immeasurable ripple effect that will continue to bear fruit until Jesus returns.
Will you invest toward Making Missions History and plant shade trees that will bear fruit beyond in people and places we may never see?
Kailey’s life is a beautiful testimony of how God can use ONE person to exponentially multiply disciples at home and around the world...
In 2020, in addition to leading her discipleship group on one of our short-term trips (for the 4th summer in a row!), Kailey also volunteers as one of our Associate Mission Leaders and helps us lead an additional trip each year.
Ten years ago, as a high school junior, Kailey was one of our short-term team members. God captured her heart about His mission to make disciples of all nations. She interned for us the next summer, then as a college student came back as an adult leader with her church’s student ministry. She graduated from college and went back to her high school as an English teacher. She and another teacher started an after-school girl’s discipleship group with 10-12 young ladies. They decided to go on a mission trip with us and took 8 of the girls. God so captured their hearts that week, they came back to school, started sharing the gospel with their friends. The after-school group grew to over 40! And they had to find another room to meet in!
And we can’t begin to measure the impact Kailey has had on the field where she has helped our ministry start multiple churches, trained over 100 students to share the gospel, who have in turn proclaimed the good news to thousands of people, many of whom have given their lives to Jesus!
Your partnership helps provide the ministry through which God raises up thousands like Kailey whose lives are having exponential impact!
My goal is to build a team of ministry partners who want to play their role in finishing the task of taking the gospel to every nation, and who want to invest in the next generation toward that end through our ministry.
Will you help me build a sustainable support team today by joining as a monthly partner?
I am asking the Lord for a team of prayer and financial partners whose heart is to be a part of Making Missions History by investing in the next generation of missional leaders. I want to be as open as I can as well and share that while we have seen the Lord’s hand of provision since we first ventured out in 2005, we are in a place where several faithful partners' life and financial circumstances have changed, and now additional support needs to be raised to bridge the gap. Between those changes and now being in a new ministry with new administrative and insurance costs, we are praying for sustainability by praying for 50 new monthly partners. Will you consider joining our team?
The 5 Expressions of Missions
Every follower of Christ can be a part of seeing the every people and nation being reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We call these ways of engaging the 5 Expressions of Mission.
1. Pray
Pack your bags and go to unreached people. We can help you and your family go to the nations.
2. Welcome
A beautiful thing about the United States is the diversity of nations that have taken refuge in our cities, towns and neighborhoods. We have the opportunity to reach the nations by walking next door or down the street!
3. Mobilize
There are still many people groups who are considered unreached. We want to energize and equip the next generation to spread the gospel, mobilizing a new generation of evangelists and disciple makers.
4. Send
Every war has frontlines and supply lines. We need both! You can partner to supply the means for other to go.
5. Go
Pack your bags and go to unreached people. We can help you and your family go to the nations.
What does it mean to be a ministry partner?
I’m looking to partner with families and individuals who understand the priority of Christ’s call to make disciples of all nations. If you believe in his work, I’m specifically inviting you to be on mission with us by Sending and Praying.
SEND
I’d be honored to be your voice and hands to the nations, as we plant church-planting churches, train pastors, mobilize and train students. Will you be a part of our “supply lines” and join our ministry team by supporting us monthly?
Our donation partners help move the ministry forward so we can train teams, take people, and plant churches around the world. God has given us an effective ministry, and we need funding to keep expanding our reach.
PRAY
Behind every effective team is a group of people who are diligent to pray. Luke 10:2 says, And (Jesus) said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
Will you pray with us? A simple way to participate is to set an alarm for 10:02 one, three, or seven days a week, and pray Luke 10:2 with me.
If you’re interested in supporting our ministry through Sending or Praying, I’d love to talk with you. I like to have a 40 minute Zoom call where I can share a little more in depth the work we’re doing and how God is moving. Simply fill out the form linked below and we’ll set up a time to meet. You can join the Making Missions History community.
If you have a heart to Go, we’d love for you and/or your family to go with us too!
