CHURCH PLANTING
In preparation of entering a community, which vary in size from 1000 to 3000 people, IWE members begin planning for a six week evangelism outreach. Six different teams go into this village weekly to deliver the gospel and disciple new believers .
EMPOWERING PASTORS
A new Pastor is trained for two years. When God calls him to a tribe and village he commits to live in that village for two years following the outreach. During this time He works with an assistant to minister and disciple the community of believers.
ASSISTING THE POOR
Once IWE has entered a village or tribe, they look for opportunities to build up the community so it can reach its full potential. They want to see a “spiritual reformation” and see the community grow in its capacity to care for themselves effectively.
EDUCATE THE NEXT GENERATION
Shalom schools was founded in 2007 and has grown from two children to six hundred yearly students.
As of 2022, over three thousand children have been trained in the ways of the Lord and have graduated from eighth grade.
PEACE BETWEEN WARRING TRIBES
In order for these things to be a success in the communities, there must also be peace between tribes and villages. Each tribe has its own culture, dress and ways of doing agriculture. By presenting the gospel, these tribes can be united under the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Their culture and practices can remain intact as their hearts and minds are turned to Christ.
