International Missions
Our Vision
Our vision, with an attention to the Spirit, is to send out healthy members to multiply holistic disciples and churches in cities with lost and forgotten peoples.
Our Approach
Living Out The Great Commission
Sojourn East is a local church, a small expression of God's Kingdom in a specific time and place and embodied in the people who compose it.
As the global church is called to be the body of worship and witness of God's work in Jesus Christ to a lost and broken world, Sojourn East is called to participate in this as well. This means we are participate in the Mission of God through the Great Commission. This primarily includes: evangelism, discipleship and church planting. It also means that our church is called to bear witness to Christ through service, love and sacrifice.
Sending Out Healthy Members
As a church, we seek to send out healthy members that exhibit spiritual maturity, proven character and biblical qualifications. Sending is an ongoing relationship between the one sent out and their local church which includes development, ongoing care, prayer, accountability, and committed support. John 14:12-21
Multiplying Holistic Disciples & Churches
Through multiplication, the kingdom of God expands. Sojourn East missionaries are focused on proclaiming the gospel, developing disciples that multiply, and starting reproducing churches. They are committed to pursuing Christ in holistic ways and in producing holistic followers and churches. This way of living values a healthy, holy and sacrificial life that is engaged in the world and offers a relationship with Jesus, their King.
Cities With Lost and Forgotten Peoples
We feel called to send the majority of our people and teams to locations where the gospel has not gone, where it has not grown into vibrant communities of faith, and where it has been forgotten over the course of history. We focus on the peoples of cities, because these are the hubs of culture, the mixing pots of peoples, and offer a multitude of avenues for engagement and long-term support.
What We Are Doing and How To Get Involved
Long-Term Missions
We currently have four teams serving overseas in Europe and Central America. They are engaged in evangelism, church planting, national church investment, and business.
Short-Term Trips
We believe that short-term trips are best when they are focused on serving long-term work through long-term workers.
Missionary Care
We see that it is a great responsibility of Sojourn East to care for our missionaries. This entails having missionary care couples and praying regularly for our missionaries.
