International Missions
Reaching, Planting, Equipping, Caring
For 100 years, Canadian Pentecostals have obeyed the Great Commission and followed Jesus to the ends of the earth to bring hope and life. Our team of workers remains committed to change nations through transformed people by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are …
REACHING the lost, wherever they are—proclaiming the message of Jesus Christ to the spiritually lost in the world, through every available means.
PLANTING communities of authentic followers of Jesus—partnering with local believers to establish churches in more than sixty nations.
EQUIPPING and mentoring servant leaders—training them to proclaim the gospel of Christ to their own people and to other nations.
CARING for people—coming alongside the poor and vulnerable and introducing them to the life changing power of Jesus Christ.
At least 254 workers serve in 52 countries, spanning Africa, Eurasia, Latin America and Southeast Asia. Nineteen per cent of our workers serve in Restricted Access nations or in places closed to the open preaching of the gospel. Another 18 per cent work in the 10/40 window.*
Priority is given to the 1.5 billion who have never heard the good news, to the poor and marginalized—particularly children—and to multiplying our impact through the training of national leaders. More than 3,000 students in affiliated Bible colleges and 15,000 students in extension programs are being trained to be the next generation of leaders that will make a lasting impact on their nations.
Through ERDO (www.erdo.ca), our humanitarian arm, more than 15 ministry centres with children’s homes provide refuge for young lives. Over 6,000 children are sponsored, and there are water well projects in six countries. Millions of people in crisis are fed and cared for.
We would be pleased to connect you with PAOC missionaries from a particular region or country. They will make themselves available to come to your church and share their vision for advancing the kingdom of God. As we work together, we can reach the entire world for Christ.
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations [people groups], and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14, NIV).
*The 10/40 Window is the area of our globe that spans from 10 degrees to 40 degrees North of the equator. The region stretches from North Africa across to China and is home to the largest population of non-Christians in the world.
