PARTNERS
Partner with VCP
There is an African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” The vision of “a church in every African village by 2050” cannot be reached by going alone. The apostle Paul used the analogy of the human body to describe the body of Christ in Romans 12 and Ephesians 4. We each (personally and organizationally) have a role to play in reaching the African continent for Christ. We can accomplish more together.
JESUS FILM PROJECT
Over the past five years, Cru’s JESUS film has generously provided many backpacks and other products to OMS’ VCP workers. We have seen a great response to the Gospel, and we are grateful for this partnership.
OMS is one of 40 organizations partnering to share information and to collaborate on initiatives to plant churches in villages where no churches exist.
COALITION OF THE WILLING
U.S. PARTNERS
VCP partners with humanitarian organizations to provide compassion ministries that can also facilitate making villages accessible to the Gospel.
Global Methodist Church
VCP has several years of experience partnering with the Global Methodist Church (GMC) in five African nations thus far, following a successful partnership model. US-based GMC conferences, churches, and individuals are able to make a four-year commitment to sponsor GMC/VCP training centers. On average, we typically see about 50 worshiping groups starting from one training center over the four years. We also have roles for GMC leaders to serve VCP in an itinerating fashion.
PRAYER REQUESTS
Persecuted Church
Churches are being burned and Christians are being martyred in several African nations. New converts are frequently ostracized from their families when they become Christ followers.
Ebola Crisis
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), South Sudan, and Uganda are currently issued “Level 4: Do Not Travel” advisories on the U.S. Department of State website. In the DRC, a pastor and several others have died from Ebola. Donate to the DRC Crisis Response.
VCP Trainers
These faithful men and women provide leadership in our training centers which serve as the VCP “engine.” Pray for their encouragement as they mentor and coach church planters.
Church Planters and Pastors
Church planters face many challenges as they evangelize in their villages and form worshiping groups. Pray for wisdom and courage. Pray that physical needs will be met for them and their families.
VCP Leadership (Coordinators and Supervisors)
More than 100 men and women provide oversight and leadership for the work of VCP across Africa. Pray Psalm 78:72 over them that they will lead with skillful hands and integrity of heart.
WANT TO PARTNER WITH VCP?
Whether through prayer, financial support, shared resources, or a call to go, VCP invites churches, denominations, organizations, and individuals to partner with us in seeing the continent of Africa marked as a nation for Christ.
