Mission Statement version 4 Darrell

This is a new mission statement. I hope it is better than the first. If there is anything that needs to be corrected or changed, let me know. -- Darrell

The CHUVA PROJECT seeks to create a wholistic ministry that provides an opportunity for two churches to walk alongside each other as the body of Christ in the Great Commission. Through a partnership program, two churches are joined together in a dynamic Sister Church relationship to minister to one another and together to the world.

Benefits for both churches are numerous. Both churches experience a reciprocal relationship in a collaborated ministry effort. A sense of spiritual growth is realized in the blessing and participation as everyone in both churches can be involved and serve as they use their spiritual gifts, skills, abilities, and professional knowledge.

The CHUVA PROJECT offers Guatemalan ministers holistic support for pastoral care by offering spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing (Galatians 6:10, Acts 11:27-30, Romans 15:26-27, 2 Corinthians 8:1-5). Spiritual and emotional support empowers the ministers and their family. Physical assistance provides resources for housing, education, transportation, church buildings, medical needs, and vacation opportunity.

Missional aspect of the supporting church is enhanced and invigorated. Practical missional experience is achieved by supporting a ministry in a foreign church as they walk alongside the Guatemalan ministers and their families. The supporting church has the ability to prepare and send people for missional opportunities in support of the Great Commission (Matthew 18:19). This Sister Church program also offers an intimate relationship that crosses cultural barriers (racial, economic, and language) for the purpose of fulfilling Christ’s command and revealing love to all people (Matthew 22:37-40; John 13:34; Galatians 5:14).
