global Missions

Rev. Joy serves as Director of Missions for Pentecostal Assemblies of God Uganda. Her mandate is to further develop the denomination’s missions sending—particularly as they take steps towards global missions initiatives. She sensitizes leaders about missions. She equips workers to move across cultures with the message of Jesus Christ across cultures. She mobilizes churches to send them. The ultimate goal is to add Ugandan workers to the global missions force making Christ known to the least reached—in Africa and beyond.

Just came back from Senegal, where I was able to preach and teach. My primary purpose was to have leaders complete my questionnaire on their needs as leaders of the church movement in Senecal. Specially, we want to help them develop a structure to send trained missionaries. I came back with 45 questionnaires. A Senegalese brother continues to help me with my research and has 25 questionnaires to distribute among the leaders we didn’t reach the first time.
We plan to have the Kairos course in Senegal.

Ministry Focus: After working in Ivory Coast for nine years, the Charbonneaus felt called to Haiti in 1996. They began a church for children and youth, where weekly meetings are held. The average attendance has been 1,400. Children walk long distances to attend these services. They play games, worship, and hear God's Word. After being fed spiritually, the children receive a meal of pasta or rice and beans, a national dish. The Charbonneaus also started a branch of the ChildCARE Plus sponsorship program in Haiti. As of July 2016, approximately 650 children were sponsored. Their goals include giving the church to the nationals and reaching thousands of children for Jesus.

Prayerfully and humbly, we propose these events for partnership that we believe will enhance the various ministry opportunities, all approved by the regional director of our PAOC Global Workers region, South East Asia. As we serve in the approved ministry aspects, we want to hold these annual events.

1. “You Is Important”: this is an event in partnership with Rahab ministries, for the bar workers and those involved in the sex-trade industry with a goal to build relationships, build trust, and build a new self-image and sense of belonging.
2. “Work Fair”: this is a long-term project that will take time, with a goal to build a network of employers, entrepreneurs, and consultants, who are willing to train former bar workers who are looking for another way to provide for their families.
3. “K.I.N.” Kinetic Integrative Nexus: These events will be focused on building and resourcing volunteers -local and international- and will be built upon the values and practices of Serve The City International.
4. “Land of the Free”: this event will be for ministering to the critical needs of refugees and asylum-seekers in Bangkok. Based on Jeremiah 29:4-7, we will invite specialists to help speak into the various challenges in adaptation to Thai culture, food, and language, who will teach the new-comer some very practical details about life in Bangkok. There will be a special spiritual discipleship, prayer, and encouragement provided for the Christians among the refugees. And there will be an amazing meal.

The Lviv Theological Seminary is committed to preparing Christian men and women for ministry, equipping them with the tools they need to be leaders in the Ukrainian church.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Lviv Theological Seminary became a humanitarian hub serving thousands of people forced to leave their homes because of the war.

The Ram’s goal is Christ-centred relationships, especially with youth in low-income communities and Amerindian villages. Targeting high school dropouts, Amar intends to utilize his 30-year experience in the automotive industry to teach youth Automotive Electrical, Diagnostics and Repairs. Nadi will invest in the lives of young women as a mentor and trusted friend to help them realize their God-given values and potential in themselves.
Amar and Nadi’s goal is first to earn the trust of low-income families and build lasting relationships that would eventually lead them to hope in Christ. At the same time, in collaboration with the Guyana government, make a meaningful contribution to breaking the cycle of poverty in low-income families. This would be achieved through Skills Trade Training and various soft skills events.
They are also in the planning stages with Global Workers Colin and Dorselie Gittens to establish Community of Hope, Guyana. A campus that will have a Drop-in café, Trades School, New Life Community Center, and a Wellness Center.

Since 2014, Yves and Francoise Michaud have lived in the mountainous part of northern Thailand. They partner with the Fellowship Gospel Assemblies of Thailand and church planters working in HillTribe villages. They also participate in the care and evangelization of ChildCARE Plus sponsored children who live at Abundant Love Children’s Home, during the Thai school year. Their desire is to encourage and help local pastors live out their vision and reach their goals. Their strategy is to assist wherever the local Thai church needs them. Yves and Francoise hope to strengthen the work that has already been done by national pastors and nurture a new generation of Hill Tribe Christians who will transform their communities for Christ.

Ilya and Jessica Batrakov’s vision is to reach this generation of young Russian-speaking people, to see them saved and inspired to fulfill God’s call on their lives. One of the greatest needs in the eastern part of the world is that thousands of young people have never heard the phrase “God loves you.”
Ilya and Jessica’s desire is to reach young people and help them:

• Receive salvation & discover who they are in God’s eyes.
• Build healthy friendships that will lead to strong marriages.
• Restore their relationship with their parents.
