MCPD missionaries venture everywhere from the most remote rural communities living in poverty to the highly secular and diverse urban core. Missionary Church Planters establish new churches in places and among people often overlooked by the church at large. Poverty, violence, wealth, or secularism don’t deter these missionaries. Using culturally appropriate methods, they minister to people from all walks of life. Missionary Developers strengthen churches that already exist with their specialized knowledge and abilities. Developers help the local church look at their communities in fresh ways. They provide training to develop leaders and maximize discipleship.
