Why OTM Works
On Target Ministry is committed to the doctrine of the sufficiency of God’s Word. This means that we believe the Bible is the only book we need to direct our service for the Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:2-3) Believing the doctrine of Sufficiency means two things:
- God’s Word tells us what to do (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
- God’s Word tells us how to do it!
In 2 Timothy 2:2, God tells us how to effectively and efficiently spread His Word around the world, “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” This is the model for missions that God has given us. If we take the Bible seriously, we must follow it.
On Target Ministry has followed this model, and we have seen God use the teaching of His Word to encourage and equip national pastors all over the world so that they are better servants of God in the countries where they live. This model was used by the apostles to impact the ancient world in a powerful way, and this model works just as well today. Indeed, “teaching faithful men to teach others also” is the missions model of the 1st and 21st century!
