Discovery Around the World
Our passion for global outreach has led us to become very intentional in what we do and what projects we become involved in. We view each project as an ongoing extension of our community of faith and therefore not only commit our resources but our time and presence annually in each project. Our mission is to mobilize our community of faith to plant churches and train national Christian pastors/leaders on every continent. Below are the projects we are currently investing in.
"God be gracious to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us-- Selah. That Your way may be known on the earth,Your salvation among all nations." Psalm 37:1-2

In 1997, Discovery partnered with a non-denominational missions organization, Missions Ministries. Since then Discovery teams have built 17 homes and helped build 2 clinics and a team center. Each trip includes pulling a trailer full of much-needed food and supplies for the local evangelical pastors to distribute. Our pastors also encourage and equip the pastors of the small churches. The missions experience is a brief interlude in your life, just 4 days, but has long term impact.
Next trip:
April 20th - 24th- Medical only. If interested, please contact Mike Frantz at mike@discovertheone.com
Uganda
In 2008 Discovery partnered with Pastor Morris Ogenga to plant a church in Uganda. Funds were sent ahead to build a church and pastor's house. A team of 19 then followed up in the summer, evangelizing the area around the newly constructed church. Hundreds came to know Jesus Christ. In conjunction with the Covenant Bible Institute in Mbale, a graduate was then installed as the new Ugandan pastor to shepherd this newly formed community of faith. A year later there are nearly 400 people attending on a regular basis.
In 2009 Discovery traveled to Lira, Uganda. There currently is no evangelical church in the entire city. The vision for Lira is to purchase a parcel of land up to 20 acres and to plant a new church, begin an orphanage, school and medical clinic to care for the orphans, refugees, and people of Lira. Also in the strategic plan is creating a number of small businesses to assist the people in becoming self-sustaining. If you would like to join us in this work, please contact Pastor Derk.
