WAYS IN WHICH YOU COULD BE PART OF OUR MISSIONRY TEAM (A.P.A.C.S)

​

The acronym A.P.A.C.S is a concept that illustrates the variety of talents, skills and resources that comes alongside a missionary in his service on the field. The concept takes into account years of research on the situations missionaries face while serving the Lord in those places. As the Church set aside missionaries for God's service, we want to ensure that the body of Christ is going with them, that the Church is on mission right alongside them. The purpose of A.P.A.C.S. are first and foremost the missionary team that will support them spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally as they serve. The are need both at organizational as well as individual levels. This concept does not dictate the exact workings of the teams, as we believe the Spirit will guide in knowing what is needed on the field, but it helps give direction to the missionary and also those who will make up the teams to know how best to serve the mission.

​
