To see as a minimum priority, the initiating of pioneer church planing movements within every major ethno linguistic people group in Africa.
To see the establishment of a saturation church planting movement in every country in Africa.
To see African leaders more effectively equipped and trained for the task of Christian ministry.
To address, with Christ-like compassion, pressing social needs; such as the plight of - especially children - but also those others suffering from HIV / AIDS, as well as those trapped in cycles of misery and poverty in Africa. And,
To facilitate indigenous missions mobilization initiatives among selectively identified Unreached Peoples groups, such as the Yao of Malawi.
