TCC To the Nations

Every human is designed to enjoy God by worshipping Him forever. The great tragedy today is that there are over 2 billion people in the world who have no access to the Good News of Jesus and therefore have no opportunity to enjoy Him as we do. At our core, TCC wants to see the Gospel saturate the world as the waters cover the sea. From Genesis to Revelation we can clearly see God’s plan to have worship from every family, tribe, nation, and language group. We also see that He chooses to use His children to accomplish this task. Just as we aim to make disciples, be a healthy local church, and plant more healthy churches here in the greater Monroe region in the everyday stuff of life, we must do the same among these Unreached People Groups. We do this by being a sending church. Just as the Father sent Jesus and Jesus sends us with His very Spirit for this task, so we want to reflect Him in our sending, by going and gathering joyful worshippers from every tribe and tongue and for those of us who do not go, we participate by sending church planters to these peoples.

Wanci People Work

The Crossing Church, along with several other local churches across the states, have adopted the Wanci people. Our point of access is one of our own families who have been trained, equipped and are now actively pursuing the following goals. We want to see a healthy local church planted among them. This work includes learning 2 languages, building relationships, evangelizing in the mother tongue, making disciples, training future indigenous church leaders, installing local elders, and translating the Bible. 


This country like many where the remaining Unreached People Groups live is a closed or restricted access country, meaning it is illegal to proselytize or evangelize. Therefore the 4 families on this team while learning the first (of at least 2 languages) have already begun an agricultural business to bless the people, provide a reason to be there, and pass on economic sustainability to locals. We count it a blessing to be part of God’s story by joining this work and want to ask you as individuals to do the same.

East Asians

Hello, we are the S Family, from Monroe, LA. Since 2018, we have been working full-time with our sending organization, Willing To Go. During the years leading up to this transition, 2012-2018, we developed convictions about the Great Commission, the local church, church planting, and the prioritization of Unreached People Groups.


Our vision has been to spend our lives taking the name of Jesus where it has not yet been.


For us that has meant both strengthening and planting churches. We aim to strengthen churches where they exist but are underserved and under-resourced primarily through teaching, training, and theological education. In East Asia, we have partnered with believers and workers in nearby people groups to plant churches where they do not exist and where few to no believers exist. Our local church adopted 4 Unengaged Unreached People Groups and that burden shifted to us, to take the adoption beyond prayer and to see a healthy church planted among at least one of these 4 people groups. Since COVID, I have continued to work on Mandarin and complete a bachelor’s degree so that I can attempt to get a different visa and re-enter the big country.


2022-2023 Update

Until that time comes, God has opened doors for us to work with a team from OMF in Nairobi, Kenya. This team is focused on the approximately 50,000 population of Chinese immigrants residing there. Because work visas typically last for 2-3 years, an important part of the task is to prepare them for their return to China. So this ministry focus is called Diaspora/Returnee Ministry. Between, resuming pastor and leaders training in Central America, I have also been to Kenya 3 times this year. I have made many connections both with Chinese who have never heard the Gospel and are not yet believers and also with our future teammates. I have also been preaching once monthly at their weekly gathering via Zoom. My family was able to join me and we explored a future with the team there for 3 weeks in June.


Under the supervision and in partnership with our local elders from our sending body, The Crossing Church, our sending organization, Willing To Go, and the team on the field, OMF, the Sharp family is planning to join this ministry. We are committing to work for at least one year starting in the summer of 2023 and remaining through that entire school year. There is so much more to tell you about the particulars of this ministry. Please reach out if you would like to know more.

 

3 main goals in Nairobi

1. I intend to test at advanced mid-high in Mandarin at the end of that year.

2. We want to faithfully partner in making disciples and serving alongside the team there with those Jesus sees fit to put under our care and within our influence.

3. Most importantly, we desire to continue growing as a family intentionally discipling each other and growing in love for one another together on the field in this new cross-cultural environment.



We are willing to go, would you be willing to go with us through prayer and giving?
