"A declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us."
(Luke 1:1)
Support Missionaries
Sending and supporting missionaries is an important part of CTEN's vision.
- Each CTEN missionary is deputized to raise the financial support needed to cover the cost of their own ministries. CTEN has training materials available and will offer guidance through this process. All funds are donated to CTEN who then designates the donations toward each missionary.
- CTEN is a family. Besides providing administrative assistance to each missionary, we are involved with them and their family's well-being spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
- Our Pastoral Care couples visit the missionaries on the field and stay in constant contact with them to insure they are able to effectively fulfill their ministries.
- Our vision is to help each missionary to be most effective at fulfilling their vision. We want to see them succeed in what God has called them to do.
Support Indigenous Workers And Projects
CTEN is involved in helping national workers reach their own people through the efforts of our missionaries spread throughout the world. The missionaries provide:
- Training programs to prepare national pastors, evangelists and missionaries.
- Financial enablement to release qualified national ministers to full-time ministry.
- Financial support of projects to help the national church and its leaders.
Support The Local Church
CTEN seeks to remain closely related to the local church, both in the US and on the foreign field.
- We see the local church as God's chosen tool for advancing His kingdom. As a parachurch ministry, we believe we find our validity to the degree that we are working alongside the local church to help her fulfill her role.
- We seek to help the US church remain focused on the harvest field of the world and provide practical ways local churches can "put feet" to a missions burden.
- Whenever possible, support of any kind given to overseas projects will be channeled through the local church and its leaders.
