Ministry and Vision

Our ministry began in 2004. During the first decade, we focused on immersing ourselves in the local culture. We chose to work within the house church system, partnering with and training these communities to reach out to Muslims. This initial phase emphasized training and collaboration.

In the second decade, our small partnership began to grow, and some local house churches committed to starting missions aimed at the Muslim population. Through trial and error, we recognized that local churches needed to embrace a transformative vision to be effective in the mission field.

As we enter our third decade of ministry, we are beginning to see missionaries sent by the house churches produce encouraging results. We anticipate that this decade will focus on making local Muslim converts and disciples. The transition is challenging due to strict religious controls imposed by authorities, but surprisingly, we have witnessed a rise in conversions, especially over the past two years.
