Metro Praise believes in reaching the world with the Gospel through finding and raising up indigenos leaders in their own country and land. We believe by doing this we can support and build far more churches than sending western missionaries around the world to do the work of the ministry.
Today just one western missionary can cost up to $25,000 a year to support but with that same money, 100's of local leaders can raise of 1000's of new indigenos churches.
The word "indigenous" means "a natural citizen or inhabitant of a country or land." Therefore, we believe in this day when literally 1000's of local leaders are all over the world in their own land we here in America should support them with our resources so they can reach their own countrymen for Jesus Christ.
Our goal in supporting these leaders through books, schools, and crudades is to make indigenous leaders self-supporting, which means they eventually support all their own costs with the people of their own church; self-governing, which means the people within the local church govern and lead their own diciples; and lastly self-promoting, which means the local disciples preach and promote the work of the Gospel in their own area.
All of these principles should be in every church no matter where they are located in the world or despite their economic situation. Therefore, we welcome all leaders around the world to join with us so we can equip you to be indigenous leaders in your homeland and win a world for JESUS CHRIST!
