Vision and Purpose
CEAPE (Center for the Advancement of Gospel Propagation) is a response to the urgent need to prepare workers for the Lord’s great harvest. As it says in Matthew 9:37–38:
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
— Matthew 9:37–38 (NIV)
Our purpose is to train missionaries committed to fulfilling the Great Commission, according to Mark 16:15:
“He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.’”
— Mark 16:15 (NIV)
Since 1998, CEAPE has been cooperating with this move of God—preparing, shaping, and sending people transformed by the Word and by the Spirit.
CEAPE is a place of consecration and growth, leading people to put the Word into practice.
Through the prophetic word—received as light and direction—we cultivate in each participant a simple, humble, and reverent heart toward the Word, as taught in Isaiah 66:2:
“These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.”
— Isaiah 66:2 (NIV)
The process of refinement brings about a supernatural transformation, equipping missionaries for every good work. With a solid foundation in the Bible, prayer, gospel preaching, and close connection with local churches, we form faithful and useful laborers, ready to fulfill their mission with excellence.
