The 25 Initiative was launched in 2024 out of a simple question. What legacy do we want to leave? Our leadership began praying and the vision was clear because it's right in scripture: "Go and make disciples of all nations..." Matthew 28:19. The 25 Initiative is a goal to send out 2,500 men and women to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth. Our prayer is that these 2,500 people are made up of 250 men and women who are called to reach the unreached people groups of the world and 25 church planters and their teams, plus many more that will be sent all over our nation and around the globe.

YOUR ROLE

PRAY

We know that nothing of significance happens apart from prayer. Pray that God’s glory would be made known among the nations and that those that are unreached would be reached with the gospel! You can also set an alarm on your phone for 10:02 am each day to remind yourself to pray Luke 10:2: that God would continue to raise up the workers for the harvest.

GO

Ephesians 4:11-12 says, “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ”, and we want to be in alignment with that. Not everyone is called to go overseas, but not everyone is called to stay.

GIVE

In Philippians 4, Paul thanks the church for sacrificially given to him to fund his ministry and give him means to live. Long-term goers need the financial support to not only live and support their families, but also to be able to fulfill the ministry that they are called to do. We can each play a part in this by pouring out radically because of God’s endless outpouring.

ADVOCATE

Another good way to love and serve is to advocate and care for long-term goers that are on the field currently or are coming back from the field. Not only do global workers need prayer, they also love to hear from their friends and family back in the states. Another part of advocacy can be helping families that have been overseas as they come home on furlough by providing them with a place to stay, a car, or other necessities that they may have sold to move overseas.

WELCOME

We also need individuals and families that are willing to welcome and befriend our friends from other nations and cultures that come to the United States. Whether they are international students or neighbors from another culture, building relationships with people from other cultures is such a pivotal way to create relationships and share the gospel.
