GraceWorld Foundation’s Missionary Model

Teaching them how to catch fish is better than providing them with fish

GraceWorld Mission Center equips, trains, commissions, and supports minority young people from ethnic minority tribes to become equipped as standing pillars of the society and churches. In addition to teaching them the Bible, they are also taught languages ​​(Chinese, English, Thai), and are equipped with self-sustaining skills (becoming skillful performers or teachers of musical instruments, hairdressing, animal and vegetable farming, etc.). After training, these missionaries, in their own will, are commissioned back to their own ethnic communities. On one hand, they use the language they have learned (Chinese, English, Thai) to be teachers, or use the skills learned to be self-sustaining, and on the other hand, they can use the local language to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with their ethnic fellow villagers. In their spare time, they are expected to grow vegetables, raise pigs, chickens or ducks and so on. Therefore, they are not only missionaries, but also teachers, sustainable with sufficient skills. On the spiritual aspect, they will continue to be nurtured by the mission center to grow. This is what GraceWorld’s mission model is about; do not merely give lip services but have deeds in mission. We must know that our Lord Jesus Christ is indeed the “Lord of Life” as He was a carpenter for his living. In this way, ethnic minority churches will be full of vitality taking root in the community.
