Great Needs become Effective Plans
Indigenous church leadership within each country has identified their most pressing needs to effectively accelerate church planting. WorldServe converted these needs into a five-year initiative. We are coming alongside these leaders to provide funding for training, church planters, mercy needs, and house churches, including staff and materials.

The house church packages are self-inclusive, meaning they will provide support for the church planters, children's workers, scriptures, equipment, transportation, facilities and maintenance when necessary, and general and administrative expenses.

CHINA: A typical house church in China sees 5-15 people come to Christ every week. China currently has more than 500,000 house churches.

Our Five Year Goal in China:

100,000 new house churches
100 training centers
Support for families of Imprisoned pastors

VIETNAM: A typical house church in Vietnam sees 2-6 people come to Christ every week. Vietnam currently has more than 3,000 house churches. Additionally, there are Hmong immigrant groups in Vietnam, as well displaced peoples existing on waterways. These groups are very responsive to the Gospel of Christ and we partner with the local church to help them with necessary funds to minister, train, and share Christ.

Our Five Year Goal in Vietnam:

10,000 new house churches
Support for 500 Hmong church planters
80 floating ministry centers

CUBA: A typical house church in Cuba sees one person come to Christ every week. There are more than 2,000 registered and unregistered house churches there. Additionally, we are uniquely enabled to distribute scripture in Cuba and provide aid for weather-related disasters.

Our Five Year Goal In Cuba:
2,500 new house churches
Biblical, evangelistic and teaching literature
Mercy needs for pastors and believers


When the Lord fulfills these initiatives, we will see 15 million people come to know Jesus Christ, with 115,000 churches over the next five years!

ETHIOPIA: A typical house church in Ethiopia sees 2 people come to Christ every week, and there are currently more than 12,500 churches in Ethiopia. We are able to bring the message of Christ into this environment of ethic and religious conflict by training pastors and providing tin roofs, benches and literature for the churches. As we minister with mercy, we also share the hope in Christ.

Our Five Year Goal in Ethiopia:
2,500 new house churches
Training pastors and church leadership
Mercy needs for pastors and believers
Bibles and Biblical Scripture portions
