Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about how Partners works with local leaders.
Your questions, answered
How is Partners addressing restricted or illegal Gospel outreach in areas of persecution, given the shift away from holistic community development strategies?
We recognize the importance of having an entry point to reach and serve the lost. Local leaders we partner with will apply many of the same community development strategies, but will have the autonomy to implement strategies for the greatest local impact to build new communities of Jesus followers.
This WHOLEistic process forms the core of our vision, and we are partnering with like-minded organizations to achieve this goal.
Are the church planting movements we support focused on making disciples or converts?
Our support encompasses BOTH! We invest in local leaders who share the Gospel, disciple new believers, and initiate communities of Jesus followers. The heart of disciple-making and church multiplication is to lead people into a lifetime of obediently following Jesus.
Obediently following the commands of Jesus includes making disciples, not simply making converts. The core strategy of disciple-making and church planting is to make disciples that make disciples and plant churches that plant churches.
What defines a thriving community of Jesus followers?
A thriving community of Jesus followers is a church that experiences growth in both depth and width. "Depth" refers to maturing in Christ and discipleship, while "width" signifies evangelism and outreach expansion.
We believe in fostering both, embracing a "BOTH AND" approach, where the Church grows internally in spiritual maturity and externally through evangelism and discipleship efforts, creating a thriving community of believers.
Why did Partners change its mailing address?
We have updated our mailing address to enhance the security and efficiency of international fund transfers. By partnering with BancFirst, a financial institution dedicated to supporting Christian non-profits, we can better serve our ministry and ensure smooth financial transactions.
