The Mission statement for Venezuela Now, Inc. is simply: “Reach the Lost of Venezuela”.
We do this primarily by training indigenous pastors and leaders to reach their nation for Christ. Our primary partnership is with the United Methodist Church of Venezuela which was created by students in the Seminary and holds its annual conferences on the Seminary Campus. However, we train leaders from many denominations and independent churches from across the country. The overarching goal is to train Venezuelan pastors to be effective mission ministers able to pastor a primary church and to plant additional congregations and social missions for the purpose of reaching the lost of Venezuela.
