Students are embracing and living out the main aim of the movement: to share the love of Jesus Christ with their friends and lead them to a personal faith in God.

World Mission Centre

World Mission Centre is called to provoke, enthuse, and inspire the body of Christ to be released to the task of world evangelization. We believe the key to completing the Great Commission is to mobilize and empower local churches to share the gospel. We aim to have pastors enthused with a passion for missions and equipped to train every church member as a missionary to their own and neighboring people groups. Scripture is clear that God’s intent when He sent His Son, Jesus, was to gather a people unto Himself from every tribe, language, and nation. Due to being in dangerous, hard-to-reach locations, 42% of the global people groups still do not have access to the gospel and discipleship resources. Our heart is to come alongside pastors and their members near or among these people groups and provide them with discipleship, missions, and church-planting resources through our portable training tool, Live School. We believe that equipping indigenous believers as laborers of the gospel is the most effective means of world evangelization. Our goal is to train one million believers to be missionaries in their neighborhoods and to the ends of the earth. We are also working to inspire churches outside these least-reached groups to pray for, give to, and partner with indigenous missionaries and churches within these challenging areas.

Bible Translation is at the core of who we are. We want to see God’s Word alive in every language, transforming lives and communities in this generation. Almost one third of the world's languages do not even have one translated verse of God's word.

While they wait they are kept from fully understanding God's love and His ways. We are privileged to partner with indigenous churches and Bible Translation organisations around the world to bring God's Word to them sooner rather than later. Together we are committed to beginning Bible Translation work in every language that needs it by 2025 – introducing VISION 2025!
