About The Mission
Tabernacles are changing lives.
Tabernacles are the most cost effective way to build and plant a church. To date, we have built over 480 churches! Each tabernacle that is built confirms the mission, and continues to grow the Kingdom exponentially.
The ministry is led by Brent Teague. He is the AG missions director for all of West Africa. His ministry has 4 main goals:
To reach as many people as possible with the Gospel
To teach and equip believers for the Great Commission
To train leaders and missionaries
To partner with national churches in West Africa
The Tabernacle Project sees all these goals through on a daily basis.
We are pursuing God together in the power of the Holy Spirit for an increasingly redeemed and transformed Africa.
A church with a children’s wing costs $10,500. It’s a steel frame building (supporting posts) with a roof. We don’t build the walls or finish the interior. The people attending the church do that. This is a wonderful principle because it gives the people skin in the game. They are much more invested in their church because they feel a sense of ownership.
In order for a church to be built, a local pastor must have roughly 50 people gathering in home Bible studies. Typically, an additional 200 adults and 120 kids will come to faith in Christ within two years of the building being constructed. Using these metrics, churches built thus far have resulted in approximately 154,000 people coming to Christ. This is an astounding number considering the dollar investment. It amounts to $31 per convert, and that’s just in the first two years. Obviously, healthy churches multiply. So, the story is really one of exponential Kingdom growth. All this is happening inside the Joshua Project’s 10/40 window.
The current production facility that produces the church building kits has capacity to produce six per month. We are in process to quadruple production to 24 churches per month. This is the costly, but the ROI is astronomical. The expansion costs $300,000, will create 20 new jobs, and using the numbers that continue to remain true with each new build (one church = 320 new believers) this will create a machine that leads an additional 69,000 people to faith in Christ per year!
We are extremely excited for what God is going to do through the Tabernacle Project. The mission is to save souls, and that’s exactly what this project is doing.
We pray the Holy Spirit moves in your heart to join us in this Kingdom adventure.
