Missions

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

At Faith Welland, we are all about making disciples, whether it is right here in Welland, our own “Jerusalem”, or to the four corners of the earth. Jesus’ command is for each one of us who knows Him; it is for each one of us to let others know about His love and grace, and to help them grow in that love and grace. Because most of us are not called to other countries, we support missionaries who are sent to other nations. We also send short-term missions teams to help our missionaries on the field to practical help our partners by doing children’s, men’s and women’s ministry. We update the congregation monthly with one of our different mission partners in order to stay connected.

Terry Bone

year. He conducts pastors’ conferences and leadership training with one of the fastest-growing
indigenous church movements in the history of this nation. Growth has significantly outpaced
the leadership training, with recent miracles increasing the rate of church growth even further.

Jorge & Jacinta Melo

Portugal

Their goal is to primarily reach younger families that profess some form of religion but do not understand how to have a genuine relationship with the Lord. They hope to see more and more people turn away from an empty religious life and hopeless idol worshiping, to enter into a fully committed relationship with Jesus Christ!

YOUR IMPACT: You will help to plant strong, life-giving churches, that will bring freedom and hope to communities desperately needing to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Reynold & Kathy Maines

Uganda

God has given World Embrace a direction and strategy that many might consider as a new approach to missions. They believe our God is so creative that He can inspire new visions, dreams and approaches in ministry that along with traditional missions will fulfill the great commandment of Matthew 28. Through discussion and collaboration, leaders identify the root of problems facing their community. Together they will turn ideas and strategies into action, collaborating on projects with a target result of effective evangelism and discipleship.

RAY, MARGI, & JEFF BRADBURY

Argentina

It is so exciting to see what God is doing while reaching deep into the downtown core of the
Federal Capital of Argentina in obedience to the Great Commission of Jesus. We love this city of 14 -15 million people, and thoroughly enjoy the daily challenge. We are a missionary family called of God to plant a strong, relevant, vibrant church that is committed to declaring the
message of the Gospel to this great city. We believe that no one is beyond the reach of His incredible love and that God alone has the power to change lives. We know that the Bible is the
inspired Word of God and is the answer to a needy world.

RAN Workers

(Restricted Access Nations)

RAN’s purpose is to make Spirit-filled disciples and plant multiplying fellowships of indigenous believers, particularly where a non-missionary identity and pioneer approaches/creative strategies are required.
