Long Term Vision:
Cristo Vive International becomes and worldwide ministry taking the Gospel of Jesus to any and all countries as led by the Holy Spirit. The ministry will expand to include a church, missionaries, training centers, and other local or international outreaches to the world including all people groups regardless of abilities.

Though the focal point of the ministry may rest with ministry to the disability communities within the people groups, it will not be limited to only ministering to those communities. As we believe God has placed within our understanding His call to ministry and vision for His ministry through Cristo Vive International we will begin to develop the initial five international sites as strategic locations with which to reach the outlying regions surrounding those locations.

An example of this is is currently working in Ecuador. The field director in Ecuador will begin to expand the ministry throughout the Latin America Nations. At the home office, in the United States, there will be a Regional Coordinator that will be responsible for all the ministry activities that Cristo Vive International is participating in within Latin America. This would mirror throughout each of the five strategic sites. The home office in the United States also assumes responsibility for the Regional Director and the Field Director for North America.

As the ministry expands we envision Cristo Vive as a Three-prong ministry. The three parts are: Ministry Headquarters, Mission Leaders Training Center, and a viable thriving church congregation. The church will be developing a strategic plan to become a seed planting church, planting churches throughout the world as ministry opportunities develop in all regions we become active. The Mission Leaders Training Center will develop training centers in each of the strategic locations to train up host nation teams to lead ministry in expanded countries throughout the region.
