Flourishing Through Work+Place Ministries (VIDEO)

By Tom Mills, Mar 7, 2023

Through MTW’s Work+Place ministries, staff and volunteers host business workshops to teach lay people—most from local churches—how to start and run their own business so that they can make a profit and become self-sustaining. As a result, they become living examples of God’s plan for mankind. Participants are asked to think through and plan for how they can use their business for the sake of the gospel and to introduce their neighbors to Christ.

The trainings are helping people make a profit so they can be self-sustaining, get the food they need, and pay their children’s school fees and medical fees. Small businesses also enable some to become co-vocational pastors. Those who complete the training can show by their lives and businesses that they’re honest, that they’re capable, that they can sustain themselves, and that their families can flourish, which opens doors to the gospel.

Our mission is to make disciples, not Calvinists. But when poor theology twists the gospel of grace, solid doctrine is fundamental.

A new church is planted among the unreached Wolof people as the gospel addresses deeply ingrained cultural fears.

Pray for the abandoned and disabled children living at The Josephine House in Cusco, Peru. Pray that they will grow in the knowledge of Christ and be adopted into godly homes.

Pray for the ministry of the Etiennes in Gonaives, Haiti. Pray for the church, schools, children's homes, and for the raising up of national leaders.

Pray for national pastor Giotis Kantartzis and missionaries Philip and Kay Luther serving in Athens, Greece, as they work toward a vision of expansive church-planting in a region that is hungry for truth.

Pray for new churches being planted in Colombia. Every church MTW helps plant is a missionary church whose vision from the start is to plant other churches.

Pray for God's provision for missionaries raising support, and that they would remember that developing ministry partners is a ministry.

Pray for God to raise up missionaries to plant churches and teach theology in places where the gospel has been distorted.

Pray for the Wolof people in Senegal, identified as an unreached people group, as the gospel spreads through a new church plant.

Pray that the global church, including the PCA in the U.S., would make evangelism a priority, and share the truth with those around them.
