Global Outreach

The mission of Global Outreach at Seven Rivers is to involve the membership in spreading the good news of God’s grace throughout the globe.

Global Outreach Values

Church Planting
We believe that the local church is God's primary vehicle for the expansion of His kingdom. Therefore we will invest the largest portion of our mission resources in church planting strategies in various cultural contexts both in the United States and abroad.

Indigenous Ministry
We believe that ministry is most effectively done by trained men and women within their native cultural contexts. We also believe that for long-term reproducibility, ministries should receive their primary financial support from sources within their culture.

Equipping Nationals
We believe that the proper role of the cross-cultural missionary is an equipper of national church planters and a facilitator of church planting movements. Therefore we will strongly support missionaries with a vision for planting indigenous churches with native leadership.

Strategic Prayer
We believe that prayer should be the most consistent, mobilized activity of the Seven Rivers’ Missions Ministry. We want to help create structures within Seven Rivers Church for the understanding and execution of strategic intercession for the world.

Geographical Focus
We believe in strategically focusing our resources in few rather than many areas of the world in order to maximize our effectiveness. Our current Global focal points are: Japan, Haiti, Mexico, and Austria.

Short-Term Missions
We believe that short-term missions are the most effective method of involving our members in world evangelization. Short-term missions provide believers with the opportunity to experience the work of God in the world and provide an excellent tool for the mobilization of longer-term missionaries.
