Unfinished Mission:
INVEST $1.3 million in ongoing support for our partners both locally and globally.
UPDATE: This will meet and grow our existing outreach efforts through missionaries and projects both locally and around the world. New partners in unreached areas of the world (North Africa, Middle East, Brazil) along with the support of short-term teams (Peru, Middle East, Kenya, Greece, Houston, Jamaica) are taking the message of Jesus further than ever before.
PROVIDE $900,000 to launch two new campuses in the Wichita area.
UPDATE: The Valley Center Campus launched last fall with a core of 180 Pathway people. It has been a huge catalyst for reaching people who are unchurched. We’re reminded that three out of four people in the Wichita metro area and greater Sedgwick County are not engaged in church. Additionally, we’re anticipating and exploring options for more campuses in strategic locations over the next couple of years.
PROVIDE $700,000 for upgrades to our current campuses.
UPDATE: From weekend services to hundreds of ministry gatherings throughout the week, our facilities are used seven days a week for vision-fulfilling opportunities. These funds will resource a variety of upgrades from parking to floor coverings to technology at our campuses.
PAY DOWN $3 million on our existing debt at the Westlink & Goddard campuses.
UPDATE: Current total debt at Pathway is $8.5 million on facilities valued at more than $22 million. This eliminates 35% of our debt and frees up more than $180,000 per year for kingdom purposes. This past year, more than $728,000 has gone to debt reduction.
PROVIDE $600,000 to significantly move several outreach ministries forward:
UPDATE: We will continue partnering with these organizations to make substantial progress during the second year of Unfinished.
• Mabatini Community Center in Nairobi, Kenya — $300,000 to finish the center
Over 75 people from Pathway have participated in short term ministry in the Mabatini neighborhood of Nairobi. Pathway has helped provide a facility that serves as a school for 900 children and facilitates holistic gospel ministry in one of the largest slums in the world.
• Carpenter Place, a residential care home for girls in Wichita — $80,000 to provide an outdoor shelter area and other improvements
• Jordan Refugees — $120,000 to help build a community center where hundreds of displaced refugees are in need of ministry
• Restored Community Church — $100,000 to assist in the purchase and remodeling of their new facility in Wichita
This multi-ethnic urban church plant has recently begun leasing an older church facility. These funds will help them devote more time and resources to reaching people far from God in under-resourced areas of our city.
