Agape Mission

Initially started with 40 Days of Prayer and Half-day Fasting as an evangelistic ministry, Agape Mission was founded in September 2009 from humble beginnings and has grown into a missional movement with multifaceted missional initiatives to accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission in our generation.

In pursuit of his God-given purpose for Agape Vision and God’s calling on his life, Rev. Peter T. Mang founded Agape Mission in 2009, Agape Discipleship in 2013, Agape Entrepreneurship in 2015, Agape Development in 2015, Agape Resources in 2016, Agape Children and Youth in 2017, and Agape Leadership in 2017. These seven missional initiatives were merged into Agape Initiatives in 2018, and it has now changed to Agape Mission to adapt to the original name and purpose.

The multifaceted missional initiatives include Evangelism and Missions, Discipleship and Church Multiplication, Entrepreneurship and Business Development, 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.
