What is Project 1:8

Project 1:8 is based on Acts 1:8 'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea, and in all Samaria and to the ends of the earth.'

Project 1:8 aims to raise workers for the harvest. We do this by training and equipping people to live their lives as though they are constantly on mission.

The objectives for all of our Project 1:8 trips are to:

• Encourage the local Christians of the area we visit
• Learn to pray intelligently for the people we meet and the places we go
• Learn the issues associated with poverty.

We believe by allowing these three simple things to happen the lives of those who participate and the lives of those we witness to will be radically changed. At the core of all we do on Project 1:8 trips is the practice of the words Jesus spoke to his disciples in Mark 10:43-45 we come to serve and not to be served.

Mission Team desires that Project 1:8 will equip people who are at the leading edge of mission in their local church. It is our intent that every applicant for Project 1:8 will become more effective in their local church and community.
