OUR FOCUS

Serving the Missionaries…

The heart of the work at Macedonian is missionary service and the focus of the ministry has been overseas. Macedonian has helped missionaries with evangelistic campaigns that have been instrumental in church planting. Essential equipment has been delivered to churches in the field at minimal or no cost to the missionaries themselves. This includes everything from appliance parts, computers, musical instruments, generators, sawmills, and vehicles. The Macedonian team has always had a heart for encouraging missionaries. Thousands of miles have been traveled in order to sit down face to face with a missionary and his family and assure them that someone cares. Missionaries have often testified of their appreciation for this personal touch, without any publicity. Missionary training is an outgrowth of Macedonian’s ministry to churches and missionaries. Staff members are available for personal consultations with missionaries in the field and pastors, as well as to lead missionary retreats and seminars. Missionaries and pastors have also called on Macedonian when it came time to survey new fields. The team members are always open to serving the churches when it comes to opening new fields.

Serving the Churches…

Missions promotion has been an original goal and purpose of the ministry and the men and women of Macedonian have helped and continue to help churches across the United States and in several foreign countries with missions conferences. Only the Lord knows the added financial support for missions that has come about because of this ministry. Macedonian has also helped develop a vision for missions by taking Pastors and laypeople from the churches to the foreign mission field for special projects. The verse “Mine eye affecteth mine heart…” – Lamentations 3:51, has proven true as these men and women have returned to their home churches with a new zeal for missions. The ministry serves not only as a missions guide, but also as a missions teacher, so that those who participate in a project will experience life-changing revelations. Churches have also relied on Macedonian as a resource for information and a source of help when it came time to send a missionary to the field. Many pastors know that if they have a problem or a question about foreign mission work, Macedonian is an invaluable source of information. “The Macedonian Call” magazine is a quarterly publication that keeps churches, missionaries, and individuals informed about the ministry and new opportunities for service. It is sent to a mailing list of over 8,500 worldwide.

Faith Promise…

It has been the desire of the ministry to teach churches with a burden for world missions a biblical method of financing world evangelism. Through this training many churches have seen their faith increase along with an increase in mission giving, more missionaries being supported, and a greater awareness of world missions. Faith Promise works well in churches of all sizes and social backgrounds. Macedonian’s goal with Faith Promise is to help churches develop an organized, purposeful approach to mission giving. Churches who participate in Faith Promise giving often see a substantial increase in their regular tithes and offerings.
