The Lord Jesus Christ has promised us that He will build His church against all opposition and obstacles (Matthew 16:18). This unstoppable process occurs as missionaries evangelize and disciple the believers (Matthew 28:19-20). Those who have been truly converted desire to know the Word, to learn to think and act biblically, and to gather with others of like precious faith. GFA missionaries may employ various aspects of ministry to complement the establishing of local churches, but the end goal must always be indigenous baptistic assemblies led by national pastors and responsible for carrying on the work of the Great Commission.
