One of the famous statements that Dr. Thomas Mathews made was, "Whatever you do, make sure that you plant self multiplying, self supporting and self governing local churches.” Since his home call, this statement has been our bedrock and also our motivation.
But last month as the leaders gathered together at the National Convention, it was being heard all the more clearly. After much prayer and deliberation, the leaders dedicated themselves to the vision afresh and a goal of planting 1000 new churches with atleast 20 baptised new believers was set.
It is both small when compared to the billion+ people out there, but it is also a wake up call to all the churches to start multiplying and placing people and ministries strategically in locations that lacked witness.
Would you please join us in praying that we would accomplish this vision, not just for the sake of numbers, but for the sake of finishing the task? Your financial help and your contributions both big and small are welcome and mean a lot to us.
What a blessing your report is Pastor Paul. Your vision for the India and her people is compelling and we stand with you in prayer and financially. Our prayer is also for a blessing to your ministry, for your pastors and team there, and your family. Tom, Jeanie and your Westgate Family
