Our primary goal is not to simply nurture churches, but to encourage them to multiply. Revitalization comes when they participate with new believers as God calls them to minister in this world.
Our secondary goal is to encourage a reciprocal ministry partnership with the African Mennonite churches; as they continue to grow, we assist their growing ministry flowing from Africa to the World. We have entered into partnerships with the Kenyan and Tanzanian Mennonite churches as they carry the mission into several other African countries.
We also stand with the African churches as they deal directly with the devastating effects of AIDS/HIV. As the number of millions infected continues to grow, every church leader is impacted. Christians take in many of the millions of AIDS orphans; no aspect of society remains unaffected.
