Entrust: then, now, next

THEN (1979 – Entrust’s first year)

Major challenge facing the European church

• Communism accompanied by atheism

 

Entrust’s calling

• Secretly equip, train, encourage and foster multiplication of Christian leaders behind the Iron Curtain       

• Assist nationals in establishing nationally-owned ministry training systems

 

NOW (2019 – Entrust’s 40th year)

Major challenges facing the global church

• Alarming growth and impact of non-Christian religions and worldviews

• Escalating persecution

• Rapid church growth in developing countries, along with global theological famine, and inadequate, inaccessible or un-biblical training for church leaders

• Apathy, materialism, divisions among Christians, lack of discipleship

 

Entrust’s calling

• Assist churches in under-resourced and restricted-access countries to develop and multiply Bible-centered, contextualized, accessible ministry training opportunities        

• Equip western church leaders with needed skills to train and multiply servant-leaders in evangelism and discipleship

 

NEXT (until Jesus returns)

New challenges. New approaches. New growth. New regions. New people groups. New churches. New leaders multiplying leaders.
