The Advantages of Having a Global Mission Seminar in Your Congregation


1. The Biblical Foundation of Mission

From the very beginning, Jesus made clear the role of His church:

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).


The mission of the church is global, and every congregation, no matter how small, is called to take part in this mandate. SEMIPAN exists to provide practical direction for this calling.


2. From Local Vision to Global Vision


  • Chicken vision: limited to the local, inward-looking, focused only on accumulating property and members.
  • Eagle vision: broad, strategic, looking at the spiritual fields of the world.


SEMIPAN helps the church make this transition, broadening horizons and awakening a global consciousness.


3. Vertical and Horizontal Growth of the Church


A church can grow vertically in numbers and structure, but only with horizontal growth does it fulfill its missionary vocation.


  • Vertical growth: accumulation of property, construction of buildings, expansion of structures and programs.
  • Horizontal growth: sending missionaries, intercultural outreach, planting and multiplying churches among different peoples and nations.


Without horizontal growth, the church is limited to its own context; with it, the church reaches the ends of the earth.


4. What is SEMIPAN?

The Pan-American Missiological Seminary (SEMIPAN) is a practical missionary course, born from real missionary field experience. It offers:

  • Short-term course, direct and objective.
  • Accessible language, adapted to any level of understanding.
  • Updated statistics, charts, and maps about the missionary work worldwide.
  • A historical overview of the church’s advance from the beginning until today.
  • Guidance on what still needs to be done to complete the global missio


5. Direct Benefits for the Local Church


a) Training Conscious Members


  • Clarifies the role of each believer: to go, to send, or to support.
  • Awakens new candidates for the mission field.
  • Breaks the limited vision of just “taking care of what already exists.”

b) Technical and Logistical Support

SEMIPAN offers:

  • Consultancy for pastors and mission boards.
  • Guidelines for the safe and organized sending of missionaries.
  • Documentation for cross-cultural missions.
  • Strategies for planting new churches abroad.


c) International Reach

With solid experience in the Americas, Europe, and Africa, SEMIPAN brings practical knowledge and up-to-date content to churches that want to expand their outreach.



6. Expected Impacts in Your Congregation


  1. Expansion of the missionary vision of leaders and members.
  2. Strengthening of the mission department with organized information and tools.
  3. Practical preparation of missionaries, enabling them to be sent.
  4. Involvement of the entire church — children, youth, adults, and the elderly — in the missionary movement.
  5. International connections that open doors for global partnerships.


7. How to Implement SEMIPAN in Your Church

  1. The church requests enrollment in the course.
  2. SEMIPAN provides teaching material (workbooks, maps, charts, statistics).
  3. The local leadership organizes a permanent class or short modules.
  4. SEMIPAN provides ongoing technical and documentary support.


Thus, your church will have a global outreach arm working from within its own congregation.
