Missions Leader - Jan Mattson

Our commitment to missions is threefold: to fulfill the Great Commission through intercession, provision and obedience to the call of God upon each of ourt lives.

Assemblies of God World Missions represents a growing family of more than 4,500 people — 2,691 appointed missionaries, 640 missionary associates and 1,400 missionary children — scattered throughout 212 countries and territories. These dedicated men and women, along with their children, are taking the gospel to cities, urban areas and remote villages, telling a lost world that Christ loves them and came to redeem them from their sins. Together they work with more than 303,000 national pastors in six geographical regions — Africa, Asia Pacific, Eurasia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean and Northern Asia.

A word that accurately describes Assemblies of God World Missions today is “unprecedented.” The worldwide Fellowship now numbers more than 57 million members and adherents with more than 295,000 churches and preaching points. The doors of opportunity to preach the gospel of Christ also are unprecedented as missionaries and national believers minister to those who have never heard.

Please take a moment to remember John and Ruth Merrell. They are directors of International Media Ministries located in Madrid, Spain. Each week IMM programs touch more than 75 million viewers from Bangladesh to Iceland and from Russia to Zaire as well as people in sensitive nations. Ask our Father God to continue to open doors for IMM programming into areas that are otherwise closed to the Gospel.
