Church Planting Training Aims to Reach Pacific

The Trans-Pacific Union Mission’s (TPUM) new initiative, Pacific Reach Movement, was run recently in Solomon Islands and is designed to see more local churches planting new churches. 

“We have a vision that each local church will have a church planting project,” said TPUM president Pastor Maveni Kaufononga. 

The training session was attended by 225 pastors and members. Of those, 150 were hand-picked by local churches with the rest made up of church members who were interested in getting involved.  

During the training, the groups from each local church worked on a plan that they could implement when they returned home. “With God’s help, we will see more churches planted around our region,” Pastor Kaufononga said. 

The training will now take place in Vanuatu and continue around the rest of the TPUM region.
