Four Movements of Ministry

A ministry pathway that moves from Gospel proclamation to multiplying churches.

Our Ministry Pathway

Four movements of ministry

The four movements describe a simple but complete ministry cycle: people encounter the Gospel, grow as disciples, are equipped and sent, and participate in planting churches that continue the cycle.

01

Evangelize

AfAN begins with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Evangelism means intentionally communicating the message of salvation in local communities, cities and nations through personal witness, preaching, outreach, missions, media and compassionate ministry.

Key expressions

  • Personal and public Gospel witness
  • Community evangelism and outreach
  • Cross-cultural and international missions
  • Calling people to repentance, faith and a life in Christ
02

Teach, Train & Disciple

People who respond to Christ need biblical formation. AfAN therefore teaches Scripture, develops Christian character, trains leaders and equips believers to understand their faith and use their gifts responsibly.

Key expressions

  • Biblical teaching and discipleship pathways
  • Leadership and ministry training
  • Pastoral care, mentoring and spiritual formation
  • Preparation for practical service in church and society
03

Send

Discipleship leads to mission. AfAN seeks to release prepared pastors, missionaries, evangelists, church planters and ministry workers into the places where God calls them to serve.

Key expressions

  • Recognizing and developing ministry callings
  • Commissioning trained workers
  • Supporting mission assignments and church-planting teams
  • Maintaining accountability and pastoral support for those sent
04

Plant Churches

The cycle reaches multiplication when new local churches are established. AfAN seeks churches that are biblically faithful, spiritually healthy, locally led, responsible in stewardship and able to reproduce disciples and churches.

Key expressions

  • Planting local assemblies in new communities
  • Developing local pastoral and ministry leadership
  • Building sustainable worship, discipleship and mission systems
  • Preparing each church to participate in further church planting

The cycle continues

Evangelize. Teach, train and disciple. Send. Plant churches. Every healthy church becomes a place where the same Gospel movement can begin again.
