Church planting in places that had no church.
After a Portable Bible School, small churches are planted in huts and under mango trees, then built to last when the community is ready.
In many rural communities there are no churches. After a Portable Bible School, small congregations form. They meet in a hut or under a mango tree. Indigenous graduates become the pastors. The church is the hub of everything else Favor does in that place.
Full community development, as Favor runs it, includes a crusade, discipleship, trauma healing, a Portable Bible School, a church building, women’s empowerment, a village learning center, a well, and mobile medical clinics. It starts with lives surrendered to Jesus and extends to the whole community.
When a congregation is ready for walls, Favor partners with International Cooperating Ministries to fund construction. Those buildings do not belong to Favor. They belong to the believers and their local leadership.
The field film They Once Met Under Trees follows that change: a gathering that used to stand in the open now has a house of prayer it can point to.
