Our Vision

Gospel Priority
The Bible makes it plain that only those who believe in Jesus will be saved when He returns as judge and Lord of all. There therefore an urgent need for people to hear the gospel and we need more churches committed to this priority and more men and women to proclaim the gospel.

To provide only one tenth of the UK population (approx. 6m) with bible teaching churches of 200 people we'd need 30,000 churches; 30,000 church leaders; and 30,000 (minimum) church workers (women's workers, youth leaders, etc)

Our task is simple: to train the next generation of gospel workers and to send them out to tell people the gospel and plant new churches.

The trust is primarily focused on the UK, though from time to time will support people and projects outside the UK where there is a clear UK connection.

Gospel Partnerships
We want to create gospel partnerships. We want to put Christian men and women who have plans to take the gospel to new groups of people in touch with Christians who have money to invest in gospel work, but who may not be aware of the opportunities and needs that exist.

We want to create genuine gospel partnerships by fostering relationships between donors and gospel workers. We want to enable donors to learn about the opportunities and needs of people and projects. We hope to see donors becoming Partners in the work and people they support – in prayer, practical help as well as financial giving.

Gospel People
Training gospel workers is of paramount importance. We aim to enable suitably gifted men and women to train both in church-based apprentice schemes (for more details see the 9:38 website information on apprenticeships), and at theological college.

The trustees are also keen to identify and fund people to become trainers for church-based apprentice schemes.

Gospel Projects
We would like to see trained gospel workers placed strategically – working in new geographical areas (areas of the country where there is no biblical ministry at present) and in new types of ministry (for example youth or women’s ministry). We are keen to enable ministry among those who can’t afford to pay for it (for example among people groups with low or no incomes), and in pioneer situations where there is no established congregation to pay for the ministry.

We would like to retain the freedom to pump-prime church plants, contributing towards the capital costs associated with setting up a new venture and helping to underwrite the initial years’ income requirements. We would expect any projects to achieve rapid self-sufficiency.
