By missions, we mean our ministries to people who are culturally unable to be involved directly with the regular ministries of Valley Bible. This does not necessarily need to be ministry to people outside of the United States or even of a different ethnic group.
The missions program at Valley Bible is consistent with our philosophy of ministry, which is based on relationships and emphasizes the role of the local church. Therefore, we have developed the following priorities in our missions program:
1. We desire to support people for cross-cultural ministry with whom we have had a long involvement. This helps us to evaluate their qualifications for ministry and support them better.
2. We desire to support people who are involved with the development of local churches.
3. We desire to work in partnership with local churches among people where the gospel message is not able to reach the people apart from believers from other cultures assisting the church.
4. We desire to have a significant involvement in a few mission ministries rather than a small involvement in many mission ministries.
