Reaching the World for Christ
”And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.“
John 17:3 ESV
Jeff and Rachel Brawner have served overseas in various capacities most of their lives. They have worked as full time missionaries as well as itinerate workers in multiple locations.
Since 2015 they have worked with the cooperation of Global Church Planting Partners and have been able to focus on six countries in South America, five countries in Africa as well as one closed country in Asia.
Jeff & Rachel's ultimate goal is to train pastors and laypersons in how to share Christ, both among their own people, as well as neighboring peoples. They believe that ultimately no one leads people to Christ better than a member of one’s own people group. In summary: "The desire is for our work to help sustain and train the ministers in each of these countries to be self-sustaining and self-multiplying starting with their own peoples and ultimately wherever God leads them."
They have already seen this type of growth occur in three of the nations in Africa, two in South America, and the one closed country in Asia. Therefore, the goal for the next five years is to send trained believers to new people groups that are unreached, geographically close to where the trainees live.
The trainees on the ground can be sent at a fraction of what it cost to send individuals from the United States, and these trainees tend to adapt to the realities of new people groups incredibly fast.
