Church Planting
TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
We believe the church is to live out the gospel in both word and deed for the glory of God and His mission of redemption. The Fields places a priority in helping to establish new churches through church planting and by supporting missionaries in order to help fulfil the mission of God.
ACTS 29
Acts 29 Australia & New Zealand
David Fandey is the regional coordinator for Australasia for the Acts 29 church planting network. The Fields is heavily invested in churches getting planted in Australasia, which includes Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. David and Wilma travel to that part of the world regularly to coordinate this region, train, assess Church Planters, and conduct Church Planting conferences. The Fields also hosts Church Planting Interns from that part of the world regularly. In addition to that, The Fields is heavily funding this endeavour.
We believe that God has called His people, the church, to make disciples of all nations by bringing the message of the gospel to those alienated from God.
