OUR VISION FOR MISSIONS

"...you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Following Jesus’ command to “go into all the world,” the vision of the New Image Global Missions team is to become a “borderless church” whose impact encompasses and embodies Acts 1:8. This great commission includes sending missionaries around the globe to proclaim the Gospel, convert the lost, plant churches, and develop spiritual leaders to lead and continue to spread the message of Jesus Christ.

OUR PURPOSE

“Pray the Lord of the harvest...to send out laborers into His harvest” (Luke 10:2)

The purpose of the New Image Global Missions team is to encourage believers to become passionate about building the Kingdom of God and to participate in this great commission by becoming personally involved through:

PRAYER
Both individually and corporately we will pray and intercede passionately for God’s supernatural power to reveal His Glory over our planet.

LABOR
Jesus instructed us to “go”. Through the New Image Global Missions team there will be missions trips arranged and opportunities to travel and minister to unreached areas. We will help plant churches, disciple converts and help train people who are anointed and equipped to impact their societies.

SUPPORT
Missionary work stretches around the world in many different ways and through many sources of people. We encourage you to financially support these various mission opportunities through:
*Monthly faith commitments to support those already assigned as missionaries
*Sending of those who are called and desiring to become missionaries
*General missions efforts that allows purchasing of building supplies, materials and other resources.
*Various mission projects as the needs arise.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

USE YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS
Using your spiritual gifts always manifests in serving people. Regardless if you are on-site laboring, preaching or teaching, or if you are supporting off-site through prayer and financial giving; the gift still serves people and works toward the cause of Christ and spreading of the Gospel.

PARTNER TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT MISSIONARIES

Willard & Yvonne Wagner in West Africa
Willard serves as Regional Ministry Coordinator (RMC) for West Africa, while Yvonne is the area representative for Women’s Ministries. The Wagner’s are no strangers to the mission field and have been the only IPHC sent missionaries in West Africa for over 20 years. Their desire is to recruit new missionaries to reach this vast area with the Gospel and for the training of national missionaries to reach neighboring countries. The Wagners train and develop leaders throughout West Africa.
In Nigeria they now have three thriving conferences and a prestigious Bible college. In Togo the ministry is very large with over 77,000 members, 950 churches, 17 primary schools and a bible college. In Ghana, there have been at least 45 churches planted and another 48 students attending The Ghana Theological College in preparation of planting additional churches. In Liberia, there are 23 churches and the Yvonne Wagner Primary School. In Benin, 42 thriving churches have been planted. In Ivory Coast there are 18 churches. And in Sierra Leone there are three Pentecostal primary schools, each with more than 350 students.

Hiro & Eryn Bamba in Japan

Hiro and Eryn serve in Saitama, Japan. They are involved in leading worship and directing Sunday school for a church plant. With a special burden for children’s ministry, Hiro and Eryn develop and oversee various evangelistic outreach activities, including camps and concerts, to reach children and their parents. Japanese children face many challenges in a pressure-filled environment lacking any moral standards. Pray for the Bambas as they seek creative ways to communicate the Gospel to Japanese families.

PARTNER TO LABOR WITH US
While your prayers and financial support are the pillars continually supporting the mission ministry work, there are also those that are answering the call to serving abroad. Will you go? Are you willing to answer the call to “go” into the world and help advance the Gospel? The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. We invite you to labor with us as we travel to spread the Gospel.
The New Image Global Missions team will be providing opportunities for you to become involved by traveling abroad through various mission trips. There will be training to help equip individuals to best serve the people of that specific area. Some of the training will include classroom training and learning the ABC’s of Evangelism. There will also be weekend Missions Training Boot Camps covering some global mission basics, researching of territory and culture information, medical and legal requirements, hands on training, and much more.

PARTNER TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT GENERAL MISSIONS (GLOBAL MISSIONS)
There are many opportunities to support missionary work through the General Mission fund. These funds are routed as needed for global outreach efforts such as building projects, providing food, education and medical care to impoverished nations, and rebuilding devastated communities after natural disasters.
