Centurion Education Foundation


About the Centurion Education Foundation

The burden for this organization was born out of the experience as a church planter in New England, which is one of the least evangelized regions of the country. It would not be an understatement to say most churches, missionaries and Bible colleges could use more money, but by in large ministries fail or cannot expand because of lack of financial means. What one sees that ministries finance themselves very shortsightedly. The heartbeat of the foundation is to be able to endow world missions in such a way that the whole process would be much more efficient, and in doing make the missionary enterprise more impactful for our ever increasing world population.

The CENTURION EDUCATION FOUNDATION will be raising both its visibility though conferences, church meetings, forums, and radio and TV broadcasts. We will be educating people on a variety of ways and efficient methods in which people can give to the CENTURION EDUCATION FOUNDATION. An emphasis will be on encouraging people to give of their hard assets, as opposed to stickly liquid assets (cash). The broadcasts and forums are opportunities to cast a vision and explain the mission of the CENTURION EDUCATION FOUNDATION.

Foundation - Missions goals:

The provided missionary salaries will allow the missionaries to leave for the field immediately following training and the sending church internship.

This will save the missionaries 1-5 years of deputations work. While doing their internship in the sending church relationships will be bonded and their prayer partners secured.

The missionary families will be on their fields 11 months out of the year, and be home each year around the holidays to rest, rejuvenate and participate in their church mission’s conference. This will also save the missionaries a whole year of furlough that they don’t have to report to many churches just their home church. The extra 11 months every 4 years will be spent on the mission field.

  • Raise $440,000,000 for foreign missions and church planting endowments.
