Problem: Surveys show that 60-80% of new believers come to faith in churches that are less than two years old.
Solution: The planting of many noncomplex churches by trained national pastors.
In order to encourage church planting, Missio Global School of Ministry graduates are elible to apply for start-up "seed" funds if they plant a church. To date, 29 churches planted by MGSOM graduates have received funding assistance from Missio Global.
Church growth statistics have shown for years that the best method of evangelism is church planting! A primary method to “go and make disciples” is by planting churches.
Leaders are being trained and are desiring to launch out into ministry to help transform lives and communities. Countries include Liberia, Kenya, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Brazil among others. Churches in these nations have trained their own leaders with the Missio Global School of Ministry in their language and are sending them out to plant new churches!
It is our goal that one out of ten graduates of the three-year School of Ministry is sent out to plant a new church! To help encourage this goal, Missio Global established a church planting fund to provide some “seed” funds for a church plant. You can help support this incredibly fruitful method to transform communities and nations!

At the last count, there were 61 church-based Schools of Ministry in 13 nations with nearly 1,100 students. These students have reached over 400 people with the Good News of the Kingdom in just this year through their project assignments. Also, 29 new churches have been planted by Missio Global School of Ministry graduates. Plus, several churches are using only our discipleship materials. So more disciples are being made through those churches as well.
Absolutely yes, even in the United States! Many churches choose to first implement our discipleship material before they launch a School of Ministry. Please contact us and we will connect you with the Missio Global representative in your region so you can learn more. Missio Global is here to partner with you!
There are three main ways you can take action -- Pray, Give, Go:
