Reach the World With Us

We're Already Working in More than 140 Nations

Vision is thoroughly committed to indigenous missionary endeavors. This means we place a high level of respect on the local culture and customs of our partners around the world, allowing them to translate, contextualize, and adapt the curriculum to suit their own needs in their immediate ministry environment. Vision is not imperialistic in its education outreach; rather, it seeks to provide curriculum where there is a lack of curriculum and education where there is a lack of education, allowing the people to benefit from our partnership in every possible way. Vision does not maintain nor enforce international copyrights on its curriculum, textbooks, or material. In most cases, Vision permits the local, indigenous peoples to translate, reproduce, and sell the books and materials to help fund their Resource Center.

Vision does not seek to convert or indoctrinate; rather, Vision cooperates with many international partners. Vision's educational outreach does not seek to dogmatically evangelize the Christianity of other cultures to a westernized mindset or the doctrinal standard of a specific denomination. Rather, Vision provides the academic and vocational training tools to open new doors for educational exploration and leadership development in the immediate cultural context, language, and Christian tradition.

The Integration of Church Planting and Leadership Training

The two major themes turning heads in the missions community are leadership training and church planting. A problem exists, however, in a lack of integration of these two major streams of mission. Church planting ministries are desperate for trained workers and Leadership Training Ministries are looking for places for their graduates to minister. Through a Strategic Partnerships between Vision International Education Network and Principle of 12 Project over 6,000 churches were estalished worldwide during 2005.

Church Planters Need to be Trained For...

  1. Assurance of a sound theological foundation for ministry
  2. An understanding of integrity and ethics needed for ministry
  3. Understanding of the Call of God on their life for ministry
  4. Quality of Leadership needed to plant sustaining churches in the nations
  5. Avoidance of frustration and burnout in ministry from lack of adequate training
  6. Impartation of the Vision of a worldwide ministry

Vision International Educational Network's focus on local church based education positions itself to help bring integration between leadership training and church planting. The vision for church planting comes from hundreds of strong local churches Vision partners with, and who have a compatible vision to plant churches. Through Vision, church planters can be trained in the local setting. By working together we can see leaders trained and churches planted around the world.
