Our mission is to reach souls with the amazing salvation message, planting churches that can have effective evangelistic outreach.
“For a great door and effectual service is opened unto me . . .” (I Corinthians 16:9a)
Wherever he went, the apostle Paul was constantly aware of the ministry opportunities around him. Those kinds of opportunities are still all around us, but we sometimes miss them because we do not know where to find them or how to get involved.
In 1995 Paul and Janis joined Tentmakers Bible Mission. During the past years, Paulo and Janis planted churches, opened a rehabilitation home for drug addicts and ministered to needy and street children using camp ministry as a tool. Their most recent ministry has been church planting in the slums in Fortaleza, a city of over 3 million people.
