Our Story

Our Mission

“To Practice and Proclaim the life-changing message of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world’s most spiritually receptive people.”

Our Values

Prayer
Knowing that effective evangelism and conversion depend on God, NOT human effort, we value building this ministry on prayer.
Church-Centered
Believing we are part of the church, not a substitute for it, we pledge to engage as many Bible-believing, evangelical churches as possible in the initial invitation, preparations, actual outreach event, and follow-up.
Disciples Not Decisions
We are committed to making disciples, not decisions, by helping new believers grow spiritually through Bible study, prayer, witness, and church integration.
Personal Witness
We value loving, intentional, personal witness. Therefore, we seek to encourage and equip Christians to consistently witness the unreached around them and invite them to our special event.
Volunteer-empowered
Believing that every member of the body of Christ is a “minister,” our goal is to recruit, organize, and train many Christians to assist in all aspects of our outreach efforts.
Pledge to Integrity
By applying the highest ethical standards in finance, promotion, and follow-up, MSI strives to be a leader in ministry and personal integrity.
