Goals of Education Department
To reach as many nations as possible, with the tool of Education.
To set up as many mission stations as possible.
To help them become self-sustaining missions which desire accountability
to the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ because we brought them the
Word, and helped them get started in the Truth. Our Goal is not to try
to make any other nation conform to be like Jesus, but establish them
as Apostolic Christians in love with Jesus.
Educational Missions
The World is in the throws of travail for the Truth which could only be
likened to the cry of the unborn. There is a cry for the Gospel which
has never been surpassed. If we are to reach the nations in this generation,
it must be by the means of education. There are more and more countries
which will not let a Missionary have entrance into their borders, but
who are crying for someone who will come in and teach them how to read
and write, or to speak English - which is the world's "language of
commerce." In fact, 80% of the world's data stored on computers is
in the English language. They do not mind if the teachers are Christian,
only that they are helping them have the ability to get a better job and
be better able to help feed their family.
Missions Stations
The Foreign Missions Department of the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ
has in the last several years put into effect an Educational Division
to help address the needs of the world. We are now in process of establishing
Missions Stations. These stations will start with the training of the
National Ministers of their countries with quality Bible School courses.
If these National Ministers are to be established in the Truth of the
Apostle's Doctrine, they must be schooled in the WORD.
Papua New Guinea
In 1993, ALJC Foreign Missions made its first effort toward Educational
Missions with a trip to Papua New Guinea. Since that time, we have seen
a great increase in the Apostolic work in that country. Just recently,
Brother Engoga, who is the General Superintendent of the work there, had
several ministers of the Trinity persuasion accept the Oneness of the
Godhead and be baptized in Jesus' Name. Even the Governor General of the
country asked for Brother Engoga to come to the Capital and explain baptism
in Jesus' name to him. One of the church groups turned their church congregation
and parsonage over to the Oneness Pentecostal Church of Papua New Guinea!
Program Benefits
Although we all know there is no price we could ever place on a soul,
the Educational Missions Ministries is very cost effective. The advantages
of this type of program are many. We do not have enough Bible Colleges
to turn out the Missionaries which we need now, much less in the future;
they would have to learn the language of the nations they intend to reach.
However, with the Educational Missions Program, we bring the Nationals to our language, which most of them desire. This is not the case in every nation, but it is in most. When we teach them English, they have the ability to understand all of the Bible courses we have. In turn, they can teach their nations and in a shorter time reach many more than we could.
