"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
The Great Commission can be completely fulfilled through the faithful ministry of the local church. In the book of Acts, everywhere the apostles ventured they preached Christ crucified and they established local churches. From the Biblical evidence, we believe that the local church is the only plan and program that God has established for the present age. Therefore, in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Grace Brethren Chapel focuses its mission emphasis and giving on planting local churches around the world. We accomplish this goal through partnering with indigenous church planters (the "evangelist" - Ephesians 4:11) in many different countries, where they are able to evangelize, preach, and establish local churches.
