Our Mission to the Ends of the Earth is simply a commitment to obey the Great Commission (Matthew 28)

This depicts the need to present a Gospel witness in places beyond the borders of Edenvale, and often to Nations, People and Cultures far removed from our own.

As a Church our heart is to partner with the global Church in initiating a witness to unreached people groups. This sometimes means partnering with global Missions agencies, but primarily aiming to send and support our own members to these frontier ministries. To that end we have a Missions department that aims to Expose, Equip and Encourage members for the great task of making disciples of all Nations. This happens through Short-Term Missions trips, Mission Week campaigns, and developing Missionaries.

Current vocational Missionaries that we support include the following people
(due to security reasons certain information is withheld):

Brian & Shirley – South East Asia
Brian & Shirley are national leaders in their Missions organisation, with the responsibility of coordinating numerous strategic teams operating in their region.

Marili – South East Asia
Marili serves in a strategic and financial support role to the missionaries in South East Asia, whilst also ministering to the people living in this area.

Kenny & Corine Brown – Northern Mozambique
The Browns are working with an unreached people group in Northern Mozambique, the Makhuwa. Their primary ministry is helping people read, understand & apply the Bible in their own language.

Keith & Christeen Moller – Malawi.
The Mollers are ministering to the Yao people in the Nyasaland region of Malawi.

Mark & Lorraine – MAF.
Mark is a pilot serving at MAF international (Missions Aviation Fellowship), which provides aviation support for Missions work in various countries in Africa.

We realise that our mandate to disciple all Nations begins in Edenvale.
As it turns out, we have many Nations right here on our doorstep, thanks to our urban environment. Thus as we reach Edenvale we know it will send ripple effects that may end up at the Ends of the Earth!

We also believe that God has placed us here, for this time, and we heartily embrace our mandate to be a Gospel presence in our city. At EBC we divide this Gospel work into two parts:

1. Gospel Declaration
2. Gospel Demonstration

We recognise that the primary need of mankind is to be reconciled to God, and that this happens through the declaration of the Gospel. However, we also recognise that our actions will go a long way in demonstrating this Gospel that we speak of, and perhaps opening doors for Gospel Declaration. We thus have Gospel Demonstration Ministries that assist our declaration efforts.

Our current Gospel Declaration ministries include:

• Chaplains:
  This ministry consists of a few of our Church members who serve with the Emergency Services and minister to people affected by trauma and crime.
• Difference Maker Days (D-Day):
  On three Saturdays in the year the Church assembles as a team to perform various Gospel witness activities in Edenvale.

Our current Gospel Demonstration ministries include:

• Tabitha House:
  One of our partner outreach organisations.
  Click the Tabitha House tab for more information.
• Khanyisa feeding scheme:
  We participate in a network of Churches that provides food for approx 150 people every day in Edenvale.
• Hidden Treasure:
  This ministry generates funds through the running of several second hand stores around JHB. The Edenvale branch is the backbone of financial support for Tabitha House.
• Hidden Place:
  This ministry focuses on ministering to the children in Alexandra township, through camps and local outreach.
• Aurora Christian School:
  This school was started by members of our Church, who provide Primary School education for approximately 100 children in the Bapsfontein Area.
