Missions Ministry & Support for World Outreach

World Missions
Our Missions Ministry Team is very active! Over the years Kouts Christian Church has supported a number of different missions throughout the world, including disaster relief funds, missionaries, Christian Colleges and Universities, as well as numerous other groups and organizations on a case-by-case basis.

A list of currently supported missions can be found below as well as a little information about each group.

MISSIONS MEETINGS

At the present time the Missions Team meets on as needed basis.  Our budget is set and our money has been designated to the missionaries described in this area of our website for the year 2019.  If a special request comes in we meet to discuss and decide how we can best help those making the request.
Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

 TCI - OUR NEW SUPPORTED MISSION IN UKRAINE

Picture
Tavriyskiy Christian Institute's sole purpose for existence is to teach Christian ministers to go forth in the Ukraine and elsewhere to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.  
In May of 2019 TCI became the first evangelical educational institution in the Ukraine to receive a state license.  Why is this important for all evangelical educational institutions in the post-Soviet space?  In communist countries, religion, faith and theology were something forbidden.  In the Ukraine, even after it gained independence, evangelical theology was not perceived by the state as a science.  And now, thanks to the license, training at TCI is officially considered an educational activity.
Obtaining a license gives us many advantages:
Firstly, graduates of the licensed undergraduate program will be able to continue their studies at the master’s program at any university in the Ukraine – both in private and public.
Secondly, this diploma gives the right of employment not only in churches, but also in any state organizations or private companies, in which a higher education is required to fill a vacancy.
Thirdly, having a state license will allow TCI students from closed countries to feel more protected in front of their state, and increase the chances of recognition of their diploma by local authorities.
Fourthly, the state will perceive the Christian seminary with a license not as a religious organization, but as a fully fledged educational institution.
