Location: WorldWide
Vision: Our vision is to multiply workers in God's kingdom who will reach those with little or no access to the gospel and care for those living on the margins of society. We pray that God will enable us to develop leaders who will impact their world through self-sustainable church-planting missional movements that are a foretaste of God's kingdom through care and community development.
Ministry focus: Cindy and I will focus on South Asia, particularly Bangladesh, India and Nepal, as well as the African nations of Kenya and Zimbabwe. Using our 45 years of ministry experience, we will pour into the next generation of leaders, multiplying our effectiveness through the young men and women that we mentor. The South Asian nations are home to the greatest number of unreached people groups in the world, and Zimbabwe and Kenya represent churches with human resources ready and able to take the gospel to the ends of the earth.
In each nation we will work alongside local partners with whom we have a long relational history. Churches that PAOC Mission Global has served alongside for many years. We will teach in their formal bible school training institutions and also in the informal leadership development models they have established.
Ministry history: After 5 years of pastoral ministry in Canada, Cindy and I spent 20 years serving in Southern Africa, primarily in Zimbabwe and Zambia. We pastored and pioneered city churches, taught students in Bible College and engaged meeting the needs of the marginalized and vulnerable. We were instrumental in the establishment of the Village of Hope ministry to children, particularly in Zambia and Zimbabwe. For the last 20 years I have served as the Executive Director of Mission Global while Cindy has engaged in member and partner care, as well as serving at Portico Church.
Prayer requests:
Pray for the new Muslim Background Believers and Hindu Background Believers in South Asia. Pray that they will stand firm under persecution and hardship.
Pray for the students in Zimbabwe who will be taking intensives in in Evangelism, Church Planting and Pauline Epistles.
Pray for the young people who will give six weeks to engage in intensive discipleship in Nepal.
