Program areas at Servenow
Equipping the Church - ServeNow actively partners with churches, pastors, and leaders in 25+ countries worldwide. Most of these are in poorer, remote, slum like areas where training and access to resources is limited or non-existent. ServeNow provides these churches and leaders with bibles, scripture resources, and training in a series of discipleship and leadership material over 8 years, so they can systematically instruct their congregations. In the last fiscal year, there were 2,867 pastor conferences representing 17,138 church partnerships. 396,195 Basic Series books were printed, with 435,698 being distributed within the same fiscal year. 62,198 bibles and other Scripture resources were also distributed. 353 bicycles for pastors with no other means of transportation were given out. Primarily through a video program called The Road to Paradise, but also through other online efforts, we reached 111,465,195 with the Gospel message. We saw 17,136 people come to faith in Jesus.
