Agape Mission

Agape Mission was founded on 40 Days of Prayer and Half-day Fasting as an evangelistic ministry from humble beginnings, and later founded seven ministry initiatives that have grown into a missional movement.

The multifaceted missional initiatives include Evangelism and Missions, Discipleship and Church Multiplication, Entrepreneurship and Business Development, Family and Community Development, Children and Youth Development, Resource Development and Mobilization, and Leadership Empowerment and Development.

What We Do

We glorify God in the multifaceted missional initiatives by:

• Providing gospel access to people who don’t have access
• Making disciples who make disciples who do the same
• Multiplying healthy churches among unreached people groups
• Equipping and resourcing leaders to transform their world
• Providing a holistic approach to children and youth development,
• Creating wealth and generating sustainable solutions to local challenges
• Mobilizing churches to accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission

Since the start of Agape Vision in June 2009, Rev. Peter T. Mang began to serve as an itinerant Evangelist, sharing the gospel with unreached people in remote villages and cities across the Ayeyarwady Region for 2 years from 2009 to 2011.

In September 2011, Agape Church Planting was started at the initiative of Agape Mission with the vision of multiplying healthy disciples, churches, and leaders in every community in Myanmar.

Mission Trips was initially started in January 2012 to offer short-term mission trips for the gospel team, church planting interns, Bible college students, and Christian workers passionate about serving others and sharing the gospel.

In June 2014, School of Missions and Church Planting (formerly Myanmar School of Missions) was founded at the initiative of Agape Mission with a mission to train and equip national leaders who are called to serve in church planting.

In February 2019, we formed Myanmar Church Planting Network with the purpose of strengthening leaders, mobilizing churches, and multiplying churches to accelerate church planting in Myanmar.

The Discipleship and Church Multiplication exists to provide disciplers, church planters, pastors, and local churches with gospel-centered resources, disciple making movement training, church multiplication strategies, and tools for effective discipleship to accelerate church multiplication.

# In March 2013, the Gospel Outreach Team (GO-Team) was started at the initiative of Agape Discipleship with a small group of disciple-making leaders who are evangelism and discipleship oriented and who will go beyond the immediate influence of existing churches, reaching the unreached neighborhoods and people groups with the gospel.

Entrepreneurship and Business Development Network is a support network that will help you grow and scale your business, fulfill your calling and maximize your impact, and glorify God through business.

Through our Micro and Small Business Development Initiative, we provided a Micro Business Development Program for low-income families in one of the outskirts of Yangon City from 2015-2016, and a Small Business Development Program for church planters in collaboration with Global Disciples International from 2017 – 2021.

Through Agape Crisis Response Fund we have provided assistance to hundreds of families, church planters, and children’s homes from our mission networks across the country.

Resource Development and Mobilization exists to develop strategies, create teaching and learning materials, mobilize resources, and increase access to resources. Our mission is to make resources accessible for leaders, churches, organizations, local ministries, and businesses.

# In February 2020, a Translation Team of professional, expert, reliable, and efficient translators was formed to provide professional translation, proofreading, editing, and interpreting services.

In January 2023, Agape Youth Alliance was merged into the Agape Mission and rebranded as the Children and Youth Development Initiative, with a mission to build a community of practice that provides a holistic approach to children and youth development.

The Children and Youth Development Initiative exists to ensure vulnerable children and youth have access to the resources, education, and support they need to flourish.

The DNA of Agape Leadership

A true Christian life is all about character that reflects the image and likeness of God. You must have a personal relationship with God, become a fully devoted follower and imitator of Jesus Christ, and completely surrender your life to total obedience to God.

Agape Leaders are people who live by faith in align with their identity in Jesus Christ, walk in truth being obedient to God and His word, lead with character doing what is right and just, act with integrity being authentic and accountable leaders, and serve in love following the way of Jesus Christ.

Great leaders live by faith, walk in truth, lead with character, act with integrity, and serve in love. These character traits are the DNA of Agape Leadership.
