From The Beginning, One Of Open Gate Ministries Primary Goals Has Been Short-term Global Missions Trips.

PAST MISSION TRIP PHOTOS

We believe that each believer in the church should have the opportunity to go on missions trips to spread the good news of the gospel and that this ministry should not be limited to only a select few people who act in the role of "professional" missionaries. As such we have repeatedly fulfilled this goal over the years having sent teams of people from the church to places all around the world... places such as Africa, the Philippines, Russia, and most recently, Spain and Morocco. These teams have been made up of church leaders and church congregants, and the experience has been rewarding for all... both those of us in the church who have gone and those to whom we brought the gospel message. Because we are a house-church ministry, we do not have the enormous expenses of maintaining a church building such as rent/mortgage, electricity, heating etc., so this frees our church up to instead use those monies that would normally go to building expenses toward the expenses of sending teams around the globe.
