The Spark Initiative

Inspire the Church to focus on the primary task at hand: Spreading the Good News to places unreached so every tribe and tongue hears the name of Jesus. There is a need for individuals to stand up, speak out and firmly remind the Church of its mission and mandate.

That's where you can make a difference. Initiative must be taken to refocus the life of the Church. That begins with persistently sharing your heart for missions with others. With God's help, hearts can be set aflame for the lost.

Be the spark in your church today.
