New Hope-A Global Evangelism-Hearted Church |
 |
|
New Hope has a long history of involvement in cross-cultural ministry. New Hope regularly sponsors Short-Term Mission trips each year. Currently, New Hope is putting a major thrust behind reaching the previously unreached people group Batin, a tribe of 71,000 who have never heard of Jesus. You can get a feel for the heartbeat of the congregation by noting their commitment to the nations of the world. And you can learn how you can participate in New Hope’s effort in global evangelism. |

Why Global Evangelism? |
|
Why do churches in the United States have to be involved in the affairs of other nations? Why don’t the churches in other nations reach their own people, and why don’t the churches in the United States reach out to their own? That is a good question, and it can be simply answered by—there are many nations that do not have a church! There are many nations that have a Christian population that is less that one percent. They do not have the means nor the resources to evangelize their own people, and if we don’t tell them, who will? It is a command of Jesus Christ for us to show of our love for God, which can only be demonstrated through action (if you love me, keep my commandments), we invest our finances, and spend our time to take the Good News of Jesus’ salvation to those who have never heard it. What a wonderful opportunity—partnering with God in world harvest!

Strategy for Global Evangelism |
|
Since Jesus is the light of the world and gave His Church the commission to spread His light, we will obey that commission through the widest possible evangelism of the spiritually lost.
We desire to show compassion for suffering people in a manner representing the love of Christ in our city, our nation, and the world.
We will endeavor to do this through every available means, primarily by sending and supporting missionaries for the purpose of:
1. Establishing indigenous churches after the New Testament pattern.
2. Training national believers to proclaim the Gospel to their own people and to other nations.
