The Conduit for Missions

The Most Compelling Expression of Jesus the World Will Ever See

SYNOPSIS: My ambition is to plant to plant a church within walking distance of every unreached village on the planet. Why? Because the local church is the hope of the world! So why would I say that? I mean, isn’t Jesus the hope of the world? Well, a church planted in a place—a city, a community, a village—is the most compelling expression of Jesus people will ever see.

The Conduit of Missions

Moments With God // Colossians 1:27

God has chosen to make known among the lost the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you the hope of glory.

In Colossians 1:27, Paul said that through the church,

“God has chosen to make known among the lost the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you …

In the Greek text of the New Testament, “you” is plural … Christ in the church, “the hope of glory.”

That’s why church planting is the primary passion of Petros Network.

In ten years, we’ve planted over six thousand churches that have preached the gospel to over five million people and have led over 1.1 million people to faith in Jesus.

And the testimonies coming from these churches are like what believers in the book of Acts experienced‚signs, wonders, miracles, even resurrections from the dead. Be sure to watch the video below to hear an incredible resurrection story that happened just a few months ago.

The local church—the collection of God’s people in a specific place—brings the hope of glory to the world because it’s the most compelling expression of God’s love, his grace, and his power.

It’s the conduit of healing, deliverance, restoration of marriages, reconciliation between people, and yes, even literal resurrections from the dead.

Sign up for our Petros Network newsletter, we’ll keep you up to date on these modern-day miracle stories.

Petros Network’s mission is sending missionary church planters because that’s how Jesus becomes known among the unreached.

So I invite you to leverage your praying and your giving to help us plant the church within walking distance of every village on the planet!

You can save a soul and transform a village by sending an indigenous church planter today.

This is how we change the world.

Reaching the “Ethne”

A Clear and Compelling Mission to Reach the Unreached

Missiologist Christopher J. H. Wright states, “It is not that God has a mission for his church in the world but that God has a church for his mission in the world. Mission was not made for the church; the church was made for mission.”

Reaching the Ethne

That is a clear and compelling call to get on mission with God.

And just what is God’s mission? It is the establishment of God’s glorious rule over a redeemed creation. Therefore, that is your mission, your church’s mission, and the mission of Petros Network, too. That is why we exist.

Now, God has called Petros Network to particularly focus its mission on reaching the 3.2 billion people on the planet who have never heard the gospel before. Our vision is to plant gospel preaching churches within walking distance of every unreached person in the world. For sure, that is a lofty, if not impossible goal, but it is our goal, nonetheless.

You see, we passionately believe that where a person is born should not limit their access to Jesus and the blessings of his kingdom. For that reason, we have established our missiology upon taking the gospel of the kingdom to each of the world’s 7,200 unreached ethnic groups.

In fact, we believe it is these unreached people groups to which Jesus is referring when he said,

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations [Greek: panta ta Ethne], and then the end will come” (Matt 24:14).

In this series of video blogs, we want to lay out that missiology in such a compelling way that you and your church will embrace it as your own as well.  Thank you for taking a moment to watch this brief introductory video that makes the case for reaching the unreached.
