CATALYST Philosophy
The mission of CATALYST is to
encourage Christian mission education, discipleship,
and the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through quality short-term
mission projects.
We desire to build global disciples for the Glory of God. When Jesus calls
new disciples or strengthens existing ones, we praise HIM. That Christ
would grow disciples in short-term mission contexts is our desire. We
will do everything we can with our God-given gifts to create the environment
for the disciplemaking…then we will pray to the Lord of the harvest
to change hearts for His glory.
CATALYST works with individuals, churches, institutions of higher education,
collegiate student groups, and like minded non-profit organizations in
partnership of fulfilling the command Jesus gave in Acts 1:8: Believers
should work together to spread the Gospel (good news of Jesus Christ)
to all nations.
We can be described as a “middleman” or “short-term
mission headhunter.” We will seek to match individuals and groups
desiring to do mission projects with available mission project needs through
our U.S. and international contacts. We will endeavor to assist groups
in planning and training for appropriate mission projects and will be
responsible for duties such as travel planning, training, logistics, and
fundraising.
