Church Planting
Church planting ministries provide the foundation for the Great Commission.
Jesus called us to go and make disciples of all nations. At ABWE, we believe that process isn’t complete until these disciples are gathered into a local community of believers: a church.
Church planting is the heartbeat of evangelism, and it’s at the core of our missions agency. Since the day our first missionary, Dr. Raphael Thomas, arrived in the Philippines, our ministries are geared towards creating new believers, discipling them, and planting local churches so that they can eventually send their own missionaries throughout the world. It’s this same investment that helps our missionaries bring much-needed restoration to communities where once-strong churches are on the verge of collapse.
Use Your Passion for Church Planting on the Mission Field
It’s hard work to plant a church, but the reward is great, as you watch the congregation grow in its love for Jesus.
If you are bold in your love, tireless in your patience, and have a passion for living out your faith, then we want you on our church planting teams. To help plant and restore churches, our missionaries engage in a wide variety of ministries, including:
- Bible studies
- Business ministries
- Church restoration
- College ministries
- Coffeehouse ministries
- Hospitals
- Music ministries
- Sports ministries
- Women’s clinics
- Youth camps
If you are passionate about starting new churches or restoring struggling churches, we want to talk to you.
