Macedonian Initiative is a non-denominational and non-governmental organization (NGO) established as a response to the plight of Christians who are victims of religious conflicts in the Africa. Over time, we discovered that the religious crises and uprisings are not sporadic events, but a result of premeditated evil with a goal of exterminating Christianity and imposing a non-Christian religious and social order in nations across the globe.
Through the wisdom of GOD, Macedonian Initiative has been able to build and sustain persecuted churches, save lives, influence government polices and checkmate religious motivated crisis.
Mission Statement
The mission of Macedonian Initiative is based on II Corinthians 8:1-4 : "…moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia: 2 that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality. 3 for I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, 4 imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.”
