Focusing Where God is At Work  WorldServe Ministries is a 30-year-old international ministry focused on church planting in areas that are either closed or have restricted-access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are uniquely positioned on the vanguard of the greatest turning to God in the history of the church.Our core philosophy is to come alongside the chosen servants of God in these difficult countries and lose our identity as we "serve" them and provide resources they desperately need - or as we like to call it, Following God and Fueling the Fires. As we have continually sought God's direction, He has focused WorldServe's heart on one particular aspect of our work - indigenous church planting movements. God's chosen vehicle is the local church. When it is strong, maturing, and mobilizing its members, the foundation is laid for dynamic growth. The fruit of those efforts is supernatural - Tens of thousands of new churches are being planted and millions of new believers choosing to follow Christ and mature with a local body of believers. In 2005 alone, WorldServe Ministries documented the incredible work of His Spirit, His people, and the resources entrusted to us. • 13,684 new churches planted • 1,072,567 individual decisions for Christ • 13,388 pastors and workers trained • 2,944 Church planters and workers trained • 365,000 Bibles and Bible Scripture portions provided • 5,703,000 Evangelistic booklets distributed • 2,050,000 tracts distributed WorldServe steps in where most others cannot, and we do so quietly and effectively - China, Vietnam, Cuba, tense areas of Ethiopia, and elsewhere. These core countries represent about 25% of the world's population. Working strategically alongside the indigenous leaders of the largest house church movements and denominations has given WorldServe's team unprecedented access through deep relationships and daily contact throughout all levels of these movements and their networks. |

This is done through a high degree of accountability in all areas of the ministry.
