WHOLISTIC MISSIONARY TRAINING
Emissaries Mission train mission teams, and individuals who are called to do mission work locally and internationally. This is done through a participatory learning style. And we help to connect missionaries with other mission teams in the region of the world they are looking to serve in.
We do our mission by helping to bring the awareness of Christ and His mission to community or neighborhood. We empower mission teams and individuals to reach out cross-culturally for discipleship, empowerment and development. Alongside these mission teams, Emissaries Mission will help train these teams using Community Health Evangelism strategies and help lead them into wholistic cross-cultural missions. In this way, believers are reaching out to their neighborhood, reaching the unreached, empowering people and working to bring development to communities. The outreach and mission training workshops are done through several hours of trainings to empower God’s people for Christian missions and watch God lead them out into nations for wholistic gospel.
WHOLISTIC SCHOOL DISCIPLESHIP
Our true worth, identity and peace come from knowing Christ and having salvation through Him.
We work to make disciples and to bring wholistic empowerment and development to students and their communities. The spirit of lies, defeat, fear and depression has crept into the lives of young people today all over the world at a very tender age, and this sometime begins in schools. Christian discipleship requires collaborative efforts of parents, school district, teachers, churches, non-profits and other mission agencies to help nurture these young people in the way of the Lord. We believe in the sacredness of human life in all stages from conception to natural death. Emissaries Mission works to build relationships with teachers, students, parents, and school districts to get to know the areas that wholistic empowerment and development is needed for struggling students in schools.

While children everywhere need a proper education, schooling looks different in other parts of the world. In most villages in Africa, education is not free for K-12 like it is in the U.S. Poor children often miss out because they cannot afford uniforms, supplies, transportation, tuition fees, and food. Emissaries Mission collaborates with other agencies, churches, and non-profits to help families and communities know and understand the importance of education for both male and female children. And giving them relief as needed and teaching then do build community-owned sustainable development so they can support themselves and their children can thrive academically.
WHOLISTIC COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Leading mission teams to the local ground in remote villages where they want to reach out wholistically
Emissaries Mission help long term and short-term mission teams identify very safe locations (villages where they want to reach out with the gospel) in part of Africa or Asia to do mission work. These mission teams are trained to train the locals on how to bring sustainable development to their community. These trainings integrate Christian discipleship with disease prevention and community-owned development. That is why we go to the people, live among them, teaching them God’s way of living a life, knowing and understanding their culture, living a sacrificial life, learning from them, loving them, and starting with the little they know about Christ and bringing the wholistic, practical gospel to them that they may find salvation.
Emissaries Mission’s wholistic community development program is popularly known as Crossover Mission. This means; coaching mission teams to cross over from their comfort zone (their country) and leading them to the ground in remote villages where they want to reach out cross-culturally. The gospel is for all cultures.
The name, “Crossover Mission” was taken from the Bible in Mark 4:35 where Jesus told his disciples that it is time to cross over to the other side of the lake. The other side of the lake, according to the Jews back then, represented everything that was impure, corrupt and sinful. But Jesus has changed this perspective. So, reaching out to the people on the other side means that the barriers between different cultures has now been broken and that we are now free to share the love of Christ (gospel) to anybody. We believed that God has called us as His Emissaries (Ambassadors) to the world to carry out His mission. That is why we go to the people and live among them that they may find salvation in Jesus.
CHURCH PLANTING
Emissaries Mission ultimate mission is soul winning and discipleship making through proclaiming the wholistic Gospel of Jesus Christ practically. This is done by living a life like Jesus did, by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of our neighbors. Churches are being planted using wholistic community development strategies, and for us, church planting means soul winning and discipleship making.
POVERTY ALLEVIATION
Emissaries Mission works to help reduce poverty through sustainable means. This is done by recognizing when it is necessary to provide relief or development in a remote community. Our mission is to decrease dependency from outside resources and help the locals develop their own resources that will be sustainable for their own community. Emissaries Mission also help to advocate for poor and persecuted communities who are unable to mentally, physically, emotionally, and psychologically do long term community development to better their communities.
We are equipped by the Holy Spirit to identify when spiritual need is the priority and when physical need is the priority of the people. As Jesus always meet the greatest need first and sometimes that was meeting a physical, emotional, or a mental need first. Matthew 25: 35-40.
