Pastor Sponsorship

One of the best investments we can make in missions is to support an indigenous Christian pastor by assisting him to reach out to his own hurting people. This is accomplished by …

• Identifing for sponsorship indigenous pastors and leaders that God has called. This is done through MVI’s Field Coordinators living with and observing the fruit of the pastors’ work.

• Financially supporting an indigenous Christian leader for one year. In most cases, a church will be established within a year or two that will fully support their pastor.

• The need for support will be evaluated yearly. If the pastor’s church is unable to provide support for him and his family, then the goal will be to help the pastor set up a small business or microenterprise to generate an income that will support his family.

These pastors will be from countries all over the world. You will see the many ways your money has enabled these pastors to harvest the field God has given them. We encourage you to plan a trip to meet some of these indigenous pastors and their congregations. You will be greatly blessed and see firsthand what a difference your prayers and financial assistance are making.

Why Pastor Sponsorship is such a good investment…

• They know the culture, can speak the language fluently and can better relate the love and message of Christ to their own people.
• They can eat the food and drink the water without fear of illness.
• They don’t need a visa and there are fewer political restraints.
• They can move with ease among their own tribes and villages. If foreign missionaries are expelled, they can stay.
• For every person in America that is willing to go, there are 100 indigenous workers ready to be trained and sent to reach their own people.

Just $50 a month is all it takes. Indigenous pastors need so little to get started. Sponsorship of indigenous pastors is a great investment in the work of God! You can help an indigenous pastor reach out to his people with the love and message of Christ.
