New Vision : Kenya

AGM's Kenya vision is to come alongside the church in Kenya to establish Schools of Ministry that will train called and annointed individuals to effectively impact their localities in evangelism, discipleship and church planting. We will promote unity by weaving bonds of cooperation throughout the denominations.

Ongoing Vision : Philippines

Agape International Discipleship Evangelistic Association, Inc. is a legal ministry recognized by the Philippine government. Our plans for 2009 include acquiring land for Bible school dormitories, establishing more churches, sending more national missionaries to the unreached islands, developing the newly acquired land, completing construction of Nasunduan and Jamorawon churches, and repairing Bangad church and parsonage.

Vision 5000 : Africa

Agape Global Missions in partnership with Harvesters International Ministries of South Africa, presents Vision 5000. Our vision is to plant 5000 new churches in the next five years by using a proven church planting model developed by Rev. Steven Loots, president of HIM.

The model is simple. The Hub church plants ten new churches and three more churches are planted from each of the ten. The goal is that each Hub will plant a minimum of 40 new churches in three years. Churches are being planted at an amazing rate. Local churches in South Africa, Malawi, Zambia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Mozambique are taking up the challenge to reach their own cities and towns. AGM / HIM helps them provide evangelism, follow-up discipleship training, and leadership training to all the pastors.

Completed Vision : Vision 500

Agape Global Missions was founded in May 1992 by Dr. Larry K. Nelson after a mission trip to Africa in August 1991. The Lord impressed a vision for missions upon Dr. Nelson's heart while returning from that trip, a need to raise 500 churches by the end of the decade. It seemed so overwhelming and impossible, yet that sounds just like God; He delights to do the impossible.

By 1993, there were 27 churches started in Kenya, Tanzania and the Philippines as well as a Bible College in the Philippines and one in Kingsport, Tennessee. These colleges are used to train others to do the work of the ministry. By this time we saw the hand of God confirming the "Vision 500". Vision 500 was completed with 506 churches on June 24, 1999, but we haven't stopped. As of January 2008 there were 808 churches established in 15 countries and an affiliate church in Wales.
