  1. EVANGELICAL CHURCH WINNING ALLECWA A VISION RENEWED

  2. THE PAST APPROACH • EMS WAS MOSTLY INVITED TO PARTNER ON FOREIGN FIELDS MOST OF THE TIME BY SIM AND OR A NATIONAL CHURCH IN THAT COUNTRY. • CHURCHES PLANTED WERE NOT ECWA CHURCHES. • MOST OF THE WORK WAS IN RURAL AREAS AND THE CHURCHES PLANTED WERE ECONOMICALLY WEAK WITH LITTLE CHANCE OF BEING SELF SUPPORTING.

  3. REASONS FOR PAST APPROACH • AN EXTENSION OF SIM FAMILY RELATIONSHI- NOT AT ALL BAD. • A CONTINUATION OF SIM INTERIOR FOCUS ON THE UNREACHED RURAL AREAS- NOT AT ALL BAD. • NO FUNDS TO DO INDEPENDENT SURVEY OF CROSS BORDER FIELDS BY EMS – A SEVERE LIMITATION WE ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH. • NO FUNDS TO SUPPORT MISSIONARIES ON THE CROSS BORDERS FIELDS BY EMS –GRADUALLY BEING OVERCOME.

  4. EXAMPLES OF OUR MISSION FIELDS • NIGER. • CHAD. • GHANA. • REPUBLIC OF BENIN. • SUDAN. • MALI. • BURKINA FASO

  5. A VISION REVIVED AND ENLARGED EVANGELICAL CHURCH OF WEST AFRICA EVANGELICAL CHURCH WINNING ALL

  6. THE NEW STRATEGY • ADVANCEMENT AND EXPANSION OF THE KINGDOM REMAINS OUR OVERIDING VISION. • PRESENT PARTNERSHIPS WILL BE SUSTAINED AND WHERE NECESSARY, NEW ONES WILL BE ESTABLISHED ( EXAMPLE OF BURKINA FASO). • HOWEVER, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, ECWA CHURCHES SHALL BE PLANTED WHEREVER MISSION WORK IS DONE (EXAMPLE TOGO, MALAWI AND CAMEROUN) • CHURCH PLANTING SHALL START IN CITIES AND VILLAGES SIMULTENEOSELY. THE HOPE IS FOR CITY CHURCHES TO ULTIMATELY SUPPORT THE RURAL MINISTRIES AND AVOID THEIR PERPETUAL DEPENDENCE ON THE NIGERIAN CHURCH. ( EXAMPLE THE GAMBIA, MALAWI AND TOGO)

  7. THIS MEANS MUCH MORE RESOURCES NEEDED • SPIRITUAL • PHYSICAL • MATERIAL & FINANCIAL

  8. SPIRITUAL • PRAYER –MOBILISING THROUGH PRAYER CALENDER, INTERNET BULLETINS AND TALKS IN GATHERINGS AND CONFERENCES. WE HAVE A SPECIAL PRAYER MOBILISER FOR RADIO MINISTRY TO THE CORE NORTH. • BIBLES. • OTHER DISCIPLESHIP AND TEACHING MATERIALS.

  9. PHYSICAL RESOURCES MISSIONARIES • TRADITIONAL MISSIONARIES. • TENT MAKING PROFESSIONALS. (FCS AND NIFES PROMOTIONS WILL BE INTENSIFIED) • STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY SEMINARIANS AND ECWA PASTORS RESIDENT ABROAD, UNDERGRADUATES AND POST GRADUATES. • DISCIPLINING AND TRAINING INDIGENOUS BELIEVERS AND ENGAGING THOSE CALLED AS MISSIONARIES.

  10. MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES • MONEY FOR MISSIONARY UPKEEP EXPENSES OR CHURCH PLANTER BASIC EXPENSES (EG TRANSPORTATION). • MONEY FOR MINISTRY EXPENSES. EG.
