A lame man being healed in a closed country - his healing bought the entire Buddhist family to Christ within days – they experienced salvation, wholeness, identification with Christ, and found the love of God in a new family life with other believers. This is what we see as being a good investment!
Christ calls His whole church to enter into His whole world to establish His Kingdom. It is not our racial, cultural, educational, or economic characteristics that qualify us. No one part of the world is given to any group of people for them to exercise sovereign rulership and responsibility over. The Bible clearly declares "that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof" (Ps 24:1) - it all belongs to the One True Living God. Jehovah is not a tribal God. Our task is not a tribal task. We have a universal God, and we are a universal people with a universal mandate to bring all of the world into subjection to His Sovereign Lordship alone.
We invite you to join with us in partnership of fulfilling His Mission in the earth
We meet first as the the people of God, acknowledging that we are redeemed by Christ alone
We recognize that we live to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, and Him alone - all other gods are false gods, and not worthy of our worship and adoration
We share a common purpose - mission - to establish the Kingdom of God upon the earth, in readiness for His return.
You may well ask, "How can I join with this body of believers (a global fellowship that has become organized for this purpose) as a partner in fulfilling the Biblical mandate they have accepted?
There are three ways you can help expand the Kingdom of God through partnering and supporting the ministry work, students and alumni of NCIU around the world; Pray – Give – Go.
Every week we receive requests from prospective students wanting to study and upgrade their “knowledge and experience” base, but they are often desperately short of that most necessary item – finances. Perhaps you could help one or more of these students?
Others simply write to share with us of their successes, and others write to share with us their need for support as they labor in the remote corners of the world, out of the public eye. They are wanting to connect with other believers outside of their country who will commit to pray for them, share their journey through communication, and possibly even receive a visit from someone from a far country who desires to show the love of God in a very tangible and practical manner.
Pray
In the ongoing work of the kingdom of God, nothing is more important than intercessory prayer. Interceding, or talking to God about the needs of other people, is a vital activity to growing God's church and expanding His Kingdom.
Jesus said – “Pray that the Master of the harvest will send forth workers to do the task” (Luke 10:2)
Jesus said, “Pray for your daily needs - and right relationships” – Matt 6:5-15
The Apostle Paul said, ” We always pray always for you, that God would count you worthy of your calling” 2 Thess 1:11
The Writers to Hebrews said, ” Brethren, pray for us that we do what is right and needs to be done” Heb 13:18
NCIU need your prayers – for staff, faculty and students.
Agree with us in prayer for our leadership, that we will make wise decisions and always follow the Voice of the Spirit, going where the Lord will have us go.
Agree with us in prayer for the safety of the teachers and workers who are active in the field, serving Christ wherever they may be.
Agree with us in prayer that our team members will hear God’s “inner-prompting” on their trips and in their lives.
Agree with us in prayer that God will release new workers to extend the vision and complete the task of the Great Commission through the Great Commandment.
Agree with us in prayer that we will be financially blessed, so that we can continue building lives, equipping, encouraging and investing in students around the globe, as well as providing resources and assistance for the expansion of God’s Kingdom in these nations.
At the conclusion of this a page is a series of links to take you to a list of Global Prayer Networks, which you can share with your friends and fellow church-members.
Give
When Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35), He revealed one of life's greatest secrets to finding joy in life. Jesus made it very clear that we own nothing, but all that we have is held in trust by us as a steward (manager) for God Himself. He has told us in His Word that He will require an accounting from us on the Day of Judgment.
Giving that flows out of a heart of love for God takes different forms: the giving of our time (volunteering, serving others, working together with others in extending the Kingdom at home and overseas), the giving of our talents (occupation, skills and abilities) to serve Christ wherever He plants us in the field of this world. It also includes the giving of that which is kept in our treasures (finances, annuities, etc.).
From Old Testament times, when the Children of Israel were nomads in the desert, to the present, the work of God has always been financed by God's abundant blessing expressed through the generosity of His people. May the abundant blessings and joy of giving be yours.
New Covenant International (NCI) has many exciting opportunities for believers who are looking to make a financial investment that will impact people for eternity.
Currently we have needs for investment helping the translation of teaching materials into languages for previously unreached people groups.
We are also working with leaders in emerging nations to establish new schools and training centers. The need for training leaders is always with us, and this secures the future for the next generation, should the Lord delay His return.
There are great needs to fund micro-enterprise development to create employment and small business opportunities in emerging nations. We have sound trustworthy mission’s groups we are in relationship with if you want to follow this pathway.
One thing is sure however, we want to be found faithful in doing what He has commanded when He returns.
All of our financial backing comes from gifts through ordinary people – and the world desperately needs your help. If God speaks to you, or stirs your heart to give, then please consider giving to those needs through this ministry, so that we may further God's Kingdom and reach people who need Him. Contact us about meeting specific areas of need that God impresses upon your heart, and lodges within your spirit.
Perhaps you want to underwrite the cost of producing materials into one single unreached people group, or finance a small business start-up in an emerging economy where every new business start-up (small basement or corner-store etc) benefits at least 7 other people!
Feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, clothing the naked, teaching the unlearned, providing primary medical care – the world is looking for compassion – will you be Jesus with skin on to them?
We have recently seen the church in a “closed country” allowed to hold public meetings over the Christmas period. For the past 10 years we have labored with the national believers and provided study programs to the “underground church” and Christian leadership of that nation. The governmental authorities have now given approval for the college program to be held openly. But more finances are needed to see the program fully established.
We can go on and on – there are many more desperate needs .

Have you heard glamorous stories of missionary jungle life?
What about tales of extreme risk, suffering, and faith that seem well beyond the capacity of the average Christian?
God doesn't call super-Christians to be missionaries; He invariably calls for ordinary people like you and me, to live in other countries, doing what we do best – our vocation becomes our “ticket” into that country. Remember that in Matthew 13 Jesus makes it very clear that “All the world is His field,” and we are ”Transformed Living Seed to be planted by Him in His field”.
NCIU can provide connections for you to become involved in visiting some of the countries that are looking for investors. You have to go and see the sights, smell the smells, hear the sounds, and do the work of the Kingdom to get a first-hand experience. Perhaps you can’t go due to other commitments, but maybe you can send someone else in your place?
NCIU faculty are willing to take such people to visit schools and churches with a view to learning, as well as experiencing the heart of God being revealed in these countries. You need to dialog with the President for further information as to when and where you can go. Such trips give others the opportunity for building deep impact and strong relationships through many years of life in another country.
Give God freedom to place you (or your investment in the lives of others) - where He wants - for as long as He chooses (Luke 4:43).
Come with us and experience the blessing of serving others first hand. It will change your life forever and draw you closer to God.
