25 Years Fulfilling the Great Commission
FEATURED TRIP
Have you ever imagined yourself traveling in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul across Asia Minor and Europe? This summer you could do this on our mission to Northern Macedonia. July 5-15, 2024, we will travel to the small southern city Gevgelija on the border of Northern Macedonia and Greece.
In recent years Macedonia has experienced a deep political crisis. At the root of the crisis is the conflict between the largest Macedonian ruling party and the largest Macedonian opposition party, as well as the Albanian minority groups seeking the representation in the government. But there is a deeper spiritual root to this issue.
The Balkan wars have left bitterness, unforgiveness and even hatred in the hearts of the people. The Gospel message alone can bring healing and hope to the people of Macedonia.
Only 3,000 to 5,000 among Macedonian population are Evangelical Christians, which is about 0.3 percent of the population. The vast majority of the evangelical believers in Macedonia are Macedonians, with the Roma population being the second largest evangelical group. There are very few Macedonian Albanian evangelical believers in Macedonia.
Our ministry will focus on encouraging and helping the local churches in evangelistic efforts, building personal relationships with the people, one-on-one evangelism, intercessory prayer, teaching and training and reaching out to the impoverished minority communities. You’ll help at an English day camp for the kids from these communities, and in clinics in a village where Turkish people live. Evenings will be spent encouraging and counseling people from the church and doing other evangelistic outreaches.
The medical clinic outreach will focus more on preventive and health education to increase health literacy among Roma and the Turkish minorities in Macedonia. This mission is a great fit for medical professionals with a passion for educating those in need on topics of health, hygiene and wellness.
Gevgelija is known for its warm hospitality and its name means “welcome back”. It is also just 40 miles from the Greek city of Thessaloniki, is nestled between two mountains and crossed by the river Vardar. Beneath the beauty and warmth this city faces many spiritual challenges – booming gambling business, the suffering of the refugees in the transit refugee camp who escape from the Middle East illegally by boats or hiding in freight trains looking for a safer life. The greatest spiritual challenge, however, is the need for evangelism!
On a free day you will have a chance explore the beauty and get a taste of the Macedonian culture.
If you have a heart for missions and a desire to help those who have suffered so much in the recent decades, you are needed. If your gift is intercessory prayer – we can’t do this mission without you!
Northern Macedonia is a bridge between Europe and the Middle East, it is an important gateway in God’s plan for His last Harvest. We consider this a very strategic mission.
MISSION TRIPS
WE ARE LOOKING FOR GENUINE NOT PERFECT
Have you ever felt like a mallard duck in a pond of graceful swans? Every one of us has experienced a moment or even a season in life when we felt like we didn’t belong. Belonging is the innate human desire that makes us feel complete and fulfilled.
At the root of it is the need to be a part of something larger than us – a community, a cause, a movement.
We yearn to have a tribe and yet this most basic and profound desire is a lot of times unrealized because often we try to change ourselves to fit in instead of embracing who we are and connecting with those who will value us.
This is why being plugged into World Missions Alliance community is a cherished benefit of doing missions work. Serving Christ, overcoming challenges and celebrating victories together creates lifelong friendships.
As a ministry, our desire is to give you an opportunity to fulfill your unique part in the Great Commission regardless of gender, age, race or social status. We accept applicants from all stages in their spiritual walk with Christ. Our mission teams represent beautiful diversity. Each team member is handpicked by God to play a uniquely designed role in the ministry.
Without you, a piece to the puzzle is missing. The beautiful tapestry God weaves together is incomplete without you. Each of us was created to reflect a particular part of the image of God. So, without you, we miss out on knowing and experiencing God better.
It’s time to be celebrated as a unique and irreplaceable part of the Body of Christ!
