The Mission of Search And See Ministries

Search and See Ministries exists

to take the message of Christ

to All people, in All places, by All means, at All costs

so that the Gospel may be heard

and God may be glorified!

A mission statement is simply a tool to provide direction as to the purpose of a ministry and to provide a means of evaluation to enable the ministry to maintain its priorities and focus. The mission statement of Search And See Ministries is grounded in scriptural convictions and motivates us to continue striving towards its accomplishment with whatever means and resources the Lord provides. It is essentially a four-part platform for our ministry.

1. The Purpose: “to take the message of Christ” It is our fundamental belief that the greatest and most needed message on earth is the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ. We further believe that salvation is found in no other name or means. Jesus Christ is our only hope, and therefore, He is our only message! Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes...”
2. The Method: “to All people, in All places, by All means, at All costs”

a. “to All people” - God means to bring to Himself a people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. It is God’s desire, therefore, it is ours as well. Revelation 5:9 “...for You were slain, and by Your blood You ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation”

b. “in All places - Missions and evangelism is about spreading the Gospel across all human barriers; racial, ethnic, social, and linguistic. Unity in Christ amidst diversity of color, background, tongue, and culture displays the power and glory of Christ. Ephesians 2:14,16 “For He Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility...and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.”

c. “by All means” - We are committed to utilizing every means, resource, and avenue of proclaiming the Gospel to the nations that is available to us. Titus 2:14 “who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works.”

d. “at All costs” - Joyful labor, exciting endeavors, remarkable accomplishments in advancing the Gospel come through self-denial, living sacrifice, and many costs. If we are to see the Gospel envelope the globe, it will come at great, yet worthy, costs. Philippians 1:27 “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel”

3. The Necessity: “so that the Gospel may be heard” No one is born again apart from hearing the Gospel. Therefore, it is the glorious, joyful, delightful duty of God’s people to share this message with the world. As the Gospel advances, people are won to Christ and the Church grows and prospers. Romans 10:14 “...how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard?”

4. The Motivation: “and that God may be glorified” We believe that the primary motivation, reason, and result of everything we do should be the glory of God! We further believe that God is greatly glorified in the spreading of His Gospel, the exaltation of His Son, and the growth of His Church. We also believe our lives are never more focused on God’s glory than when they are spent to proclaim and advance the Gospel! Philippians 2:13 “for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure”
