This organization is unlike any other. It was founded in the year of 1989. Its sole purpose is to enlighten the eyes of people in Africa, Middle East and more. Their main focus is to spread the gospel like wildfire in these regions and experience God turning hearts around for Him. They said that not a lot of people in these regions know about God. This is a tragedy and it is ultimately why gap missions came into being. They are not just a platform for spreading truth, they also make and produce churches in these places. They want these people to continue to grow in their walk. One of the many places they are able to do this is through a church body. Ephesians 5:1-2 states, “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God (OpenBible,1).” This ministry is constantly displaying the fragrant aroma of Christ… just as they are called to do. They stated in the website that some of their projects include: medical service, service teams, AND SENDING people out. This is so vital. People can talk about Christianity and service all the time. However, it is so special to be able to BE the hands and feet of Jesus firsthand. It also stated that by praying is one way you could be global. It is hard being in ministry and the website hints at this point. This Bible verse states from Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths (OpenBible,1).” God hears prayers from everywhere. It said their focus is everywhere in the world. However, they mainly focus on a couple places to make it easier upon themselves and others involved. As for the mode of entry, they are most certainly either exporting or partnering. They send medical help, send people, send supplies and more. This all relates back to the topic of exporting. They also partner with varying people and companies to ensure the people in the world acquire the proper care.
