Project Jericho
A project to surround the Eastern Region of Guinea Bissau with God’s Word and His people so that the walls of unbelief, spiritual blindness and spiritual deception will be broken down. In this way many will come to the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
“And the Lord said to Joshua: “See I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpets, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him” Joshua 6:2-5
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come!” Matthew 24.14
The main goal of this Christian International Ministry is to surround and saturate this region with the Word of God. This will be accomplished primarily through discipleship and planting churches. Along with the churches, community development projects, which would meet physical and social needs in the region, will be established. In order to implement this vision Christian Churches of various denominations, and missions who are interested in reaching the Moslem peoples of Guinea-Bissau are invited to partner in this project.
The needs are great. Most of all we need prayer and people. Both missionaries and training for nationals. Servants to missions can provide language learning, cultural adaptation, visas, introduction to local authorities, finding and renting local homes, real estate transaction counseling, and introduction to the Christian Missionary population.
Nowhere else in the Muslim world are hearts so open to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Would you like to partner with us in these Christian missions to Islam?
We are currently visiting villages to evangelize disciple and show evangelical movies. In this manner we are preparing the way for you to plant a church in one of GUBU’s seven regions.
There are three ways you can partner with us project JERICHO:
- Prayer Support: the most mighty work others can do for this project is to pray for and openness in the people, health for the workers and finances to continue.
- Financial Support: support can be given to support Servants to Missions or for a specific program. Your charity donation purchase will help bring a nation, ripe for picking, to Christ.
- Coming and Planting Churches: Come to Guinea-Bissau and plant a church. The people are waiting. Churches, missions, and individuals are welcome. American, Canadian, Korean and Brazilian missionaries are eagerly awaiting to show you the field. Contact us and let's discuss your short term Christian missions trip.
JOCUM YWAM SCHOOL
Educating an Entire Nation
In 1990, Americans and Brazilians built the Youth With A Mission JOCUM School in the GUBU region of Guniea-Bissau. Today it provides for over 200 children and adults from 1st to 10th grades. Four sessions operate daily. The school operates by daylight, as there is no electricity for lights in Gabu. The students pay a stipend to attend and the teachers are now all nationals that are supported by the stipend and partners like you.
Government sponsored schools are frequently shut down as they have no money to pay teachers. This presents a problem for the YWAM School.
The school now operates after dark since STM donations provided solar lighting.
Buildings, funds and more teachers are necessary to provide further education for these children. Since very little education is provided in the eastern part of Guinea-Bissau, these students will surely become the future leaders of the country.
With over 600 villages outside of the cities in the Gabu region we have started village schools. A joint venture between the village and Servants to Missions. It starts with the village providing a temporary reed shelter for classes and agreeing to pay 40 cents per month per student. We provide a teacher and materials for the school. The village commits to build an adobe wall building as a permanent facility and we provide cement for a floor to be poured and tin for a roof.
Five village schools have started and each has about seventy students. Many more villages are requesting to be considered for the next school. A number have set aside land for development of their own school. Our task is to hire and train native Christian teachers to be planted and provide more floors and roofs.
Can you help? It costs about $1000.00 for the floor and roof of each school and $100 per month for each teacher. The cost of education for each student in the village is approximately $44 per year.
Christian Radio
In the Eastern Region of Guinea-Bissau there are few televisions but many battery powered radios. The country has only 4 radio stations registered that broadcast programs. Please pray for us as we work to put a Christian Radio Station on the air. This evangelism project would speed the message of the Gospel in a country where most religious thought is controlled. We have applied for a license and it looks as if one will be issued shortly. We have been blessed with a low powered radio transmitter that we can get started with easily, however, God has a much greater vision.
Trans World Radio has offered to provide a high powered radio station and recording studio if we provide the facilities. We have already procured the land and started clearing. The next step will be to build a wall around the property. Additional plans are underway for the actual structures and environmental equipment.
With this facility we will be able to reach all of West Africa with Christian programming. If you can help in any way please contact us here at Servants to Missions. Your charity donation could help us to reach thousands who still have never heard about the life changing power of a relationship with Jesus Christ.
