"Navigators"
Bob and Donna Tobey
Our Mission
To reach and raise up International Students to be
reproducing missionaries in their home countries, and the world!
To Reach - evangelism
- close personal relationships based on genuine love and concern
- Unconditional acceptance (I will be your friend, even if you don't
become a Christian, join a Bible Study, etc.)
- practical service (meeting felt as well as spiritual needs)
- group and / or one on one Bible Study
- customized presentations/ explanations
Raise Up -- establishing them in their personal walk with Christ, and
equipping them for personal ministry
- small group and one on one accountability for the basic disciplines of the Christian life (daily devotions, Bible Study, Prayer, Evangelism, Fellowship, Obedience)
- one on one training in Character, convictions, ministry skills and
heart
Reproducing -- able to reach and raise up succeeding generations in their
own culture.
- Pass-on-able principles founded in scripture, with possibly different forms ("unless it falls into the ground and dies, it will never come up Egyptian")
- Training in ministry that will be relevant in their home countries (Muslim countries and street preaching don't mix well)
- Focus on their ministry when they return, not here and now.
Missionaries - see themselves as Christ's ambassadors
- Personal Vision of how God has called them
- Make decisions based on how it impacts the Great Commission, not their personal comfort or finances
And the World - a heart for the world
- The Great Commission is the same for every Christian, even those of other cultures
- Many countries closed or restricted to Americans are wide open to other nationalities.
