network Intercultural Ministries

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Matthew 24:14

The Intercultural Ministries of the Arizona Ministry Network exists to reach the distinctive cultural, ethnic and language groups in Arizona with the Gospel of Jesus christ. We do this in three ways:

  1. We encourage and coach our established intercultural churches to grow and expand by adding English services to their ministry and to plant daughter churches that do the same.

  2. We encourage and coach our established english-only churches to grow and expand by adding language or ethnice specific services to their ministry and to plant daughter churches that do the same.

  3. We find and encourager ethnic or language specific churches that are pentecostal who are not part of our assemblies of god family to join our network.

Arizona is now home for people from more than 120 different nations. Just over 45% of Arizonans can or do speak another language at home, other than english. We believe God has led them to Arizona to find Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We also believe that the revival that is going to change the fabric of the Arizonan landscape will be coming through our intercultural churches. In 2020, we would like to add, at least, 20 churches and/or ethnic or language specific services to our arizona ministry network. Our rallying cry is “20 in 2020”!
