Muscatatuck Christian Ranch — Organization Profile
Muscatatuck Christian Ranch, also presented online as C.A.M.P. at M.C.R., is a Christian-based ranch camp dedicated to teaching the gospel through outdoor camp experiences, worship, and community life. The ministry describes its work as “making Christ real” and has identified its camp setting as a place where children, families, churches, and guests can learn, worship, and grow together.
The ranch is located in North Vernon, Indiana, and serves campers and families from southern Indiana and surrounding communities through summer camps, retreats, Cowboy Church gatherings, and family events. Its setting is a major part of its ministry approach. The camp describes 250 acres of woods and pasture along the Muscatatuck River, with a lake, trails, cabins, animals, and outdoor areas used for recreation, teaching, and worship.
Muscatatuck Christian Ranch operates with a ranch-style camp model that combines Bible teaching with hands-on outdoor activities. Camp experiences may include swimming, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, campfire gatherings, music, recreation, and time with animals. The camp also emphasizes worship and spiritual growth through scheduled camp sessions, Cowboy Church, and special gatherings with singers and speakers.
The camp offers several described program areas for different ages and needs. These include Wee Wrangler Day Camp, Wee Wrangler Overnight Camp, Basics of Faith Week, Handi-Camp, Music Camp, Camp Classic Week, and other seasonal gatherings. The Handi-Camp program is described as serving disabled youth through adults, while Music Camp focuses on contemporary and traditional Christian music. These offerings show the ranch’s focus on age-specific and needs-aware Christian camping in an outdoor ranch setting.
Muscatatuck Christian Ranch also functions as a retreat and community gathering site. Its website notes that churches and organizations may use the camp for retreats, and its schedule has included family outings, Cowboy Daze, Wildhorse Ministries, singing groups, and Fall Family Round-Up. The camp’s current public communications also ask for prayer, volunteers, support for projects, and donations to help campers who are unable to pay for camp.
People can engage with Muscatatuck Christian Ranch by registering campers, attending public events, participating in Cowboy Church, bringing a church or organization for a retreat, volunteering for camp projects, donating toward camper scholarships, or giving practical supplies listed by the camp. Its distinct contribution is a Christian ranch environment where outdoor activities, Bible teaching, music, family gatherings, and service opportunities are brought together for children and families.

Founded by Lynn and Carolyn Anderson, HOPE Network has grown into a team network that works across multiple divisions, including mentoring, consulting, interim ministry support, care for ministers’ wives, and marriage care. Their approach emphasizes listening first, then assessing needs with leadership, and providing a plan that fits a church’s context and season. A core part of HOPE Network’s work is…
HOPE Network Ministries — Organization Profile
HOPE Network Ministries is a nonprofit ministry that serves church leaders and congregations through guidance, mentoring, and practical support. Based in Keller, Texas, the organization describes its purpose as mentoring leaders and guiding churches—often beginning with a conversation when a minister, elder, or leadership team needs outside help navigating challenge, conflict, or transition.
Founded by Lynn and Carolyn Anderson, HOPE Network has grown into a team network that works across multiple divisions, including mentoring, consulting, interim ministry support, care for ministers’ wives, and marriage care. Their approach emphasizes listening first, then assessing needs with leadership, and providing a plan that fits a church’s context and season.
A core part of HOPE Network’s work is Coaching & Mentoring for ministers and church leaders who feel stuck, tired, or isolated. The organization also provides Consulting that addresses leadership dynamics and congregational health, with attention to the practical realities of serving as a plurality of elders and collaborating with ministers and staff. For churches in minister transition, HOPE Network’s Interim Ministry Partners (IMP) division is designed to help guide congregations through change with intentional process rather than reactive decisions.
HOPE Network also offers specialized care resources. Lavish HOPE is a ministry connected to HOPE Network that focuses on rest, spiritual renewal, and supportive community for ministers’ wives. In addition, HOPE Network highlights Marriage Care as part of its broader commitment to strengthening leaders and families who carry ministry responsibilities.
Beyond direct coaching and consulting, HOPE Network publishes resources that churches can use over time. These include books and training materials intended to support leadership development and healthier congregational life. The organization also produces the HOPE Network Leadership Podcast, sharing ongoing conversations and lessons that can serve ministers, elders, and leadership teams who want practical insight for church leadership challenges.
People can engage with HOPE Network Ministries in several ways: request a conversation for coaching or consulting, explore resources and training materials, share podcast episodes with a leadership team, partner financially to support the ministry, or connect with specific divisions such as IMP or Lavish HOPE. HOPE Network’s work serves church leaders across the United States, while remaining rooted in its base of operations in North Texas.

Shiloh Christian Children's Ranch — Organization Profile Shiloh Christian Children's Ranch is a Christian residential care ministry that provides loving Christian homes for abused, neglected, and other at-risk children. Founded in 1977, Shiloh exists to meet the spiritual, emotional, social, physical, and educational needs of children who need safety, stability, and family-centered care. The ranch is based in rural Northeast Missouri, with its mailing office in Shelbina, Missouri and its residential homes now centered at the Clarence, Missouri site. Shiloh serves children from throughout the United States, ages birth to 15, when the ministry determines that its family-based setting can meet a child’s individual needs.

Shiloh Christian Children's Ranch — Organization Profile
Shiloh Christian Children's Ranch is a Christian residential care ministry that provides loving Christian homes for abused, neglected, and other at-risk children. Founded in 1977, Shiloh exists to meet the spiritual, emotional, social, physical, and educational needs of children who need safety, stability, and family-centered care.
The ranch is based in rural Northeast Missouri, with its mailing office in Shelbina, Missouri and its residential homes now centered at the Clarence, Missouri site. Shiloh serves children from throughout the United States, ages birth to 15, when the ministry determines that its family-based setting can meet a child’s individual needs. The ranch does not charge families, insurance providers, or government agencies for care.
Shiloh’s ministry model is built around traditional Christian homes led by married homeparents who provide daily structure, nurture, biblical teaching, and family life. Children live in homes that function much like family households, with chores, meals, school, outings, church involvement, devotions, youth group, summer camps, and other shared experiences. The ranch setting also gives children opportunities to learn responsibility, work ethic, animal care, and accountability.
Education and counseling are important parts of Shiloh’s care. The ministry uses multiple educational options, including faith-based on-site schooling, off-site Christian school, public school, and tutoring according to each child’s needs. Shiloh also provides mental health care through Christian licensed counselors, with support determined by the child’s caregivers and situation.
The placement process is individualized rather than first-come, first-served. Shiloh reviews applications, provider records, educational needs, homeparent strengths, available openings, and the needs of children already in the home before accepting a placement. This process is intended to help determine whether Shiloh can provide the safest and most beneficial environment for a particular child.
People can engage with Shiloh Christian Children's Ranch by giving financially, volunteering, supporting work projects, praying, scheduling a presentation, learning about employment opportunities, or contacting the ministry about placement. Its distinct contribution is a no-cost, donor-supported Christian residential care ministry that offers vulnerable children safety, stability, spiritual formation, education, counseling, and family life in a rural ranch setting.

College Press Publishing — Organization Profile
College Press Publishing Company is a Christian publishing ministry that develops books and curriculum to help people study Scripture and grow as disciples. According to the organization, it has been serving churches and Christian leaders since 1959, partnering with churches, Bible colleges, and individual Christians to produce Bible-based resources for teaching and spiritual formation. Its catalog includes a range of titles intended for both church settings and personal study.
College Press describes its work as centered on providing accessible, Bible-based material for local congregations, with a long-running emphasis on resources that support week-to-week ministry. Their “About” description highlights three core categories that have become a hallmark of the brand: age-specific Sunday school curriculum, doctrinally sound Bible commentaries, and engaging devotional books. That mix allows churches to use College Press materials across multiple ministry lanes—from classroom teaching to small groups to individual discipleship.
In addition to publishing and distribution, the organization offers connected resources that support churches as they implement curriculum. For example, College Press hosts curriculum resource links (such as supplemental teaching tools) to help leaders enrich lessons and engage students at different age levels. The site also features a broad online storefront with topical collections (including ministry leadership materials) and periodic highlights of new releases.
College Press also invites authors to submit proposals for publication. The organization states that it is an evangelical Christian publishing house primarily associated with the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, and it provides clear guidance for prospective authors. Their public guidelines outline the kinds of projects they seek—such as Bible studies, biblically based topical studies, apologetics, and historical biographies of Christians—along with procedural steps for submitting an initial query letter and proposal before a manuscript is reviewed.
Beyond print and curriculum publishing, College Press hosts the National Preaching Summit, an ongoing event presented as a time of training and encouragement for preachers. The event listing notes workshops, mentoring sessions, fellowship, and practical instruction aimed at strengthening biblical communication. This gathering complements the organization’s broader purpose by investing in leaders who teach Scripture regularly.
College Press Publishing is based in Joplin, Missouri, and it describes its resources as serving growing Christians worldwide. Churches and individuals can engage by purchasing books or curriculum, using the online resource links for teaching support, recommending materials to ministry teams, or exploring author submission guidelines for those who sense a call to write and publish Bible-based content.

Churches of Christ National Lectureship — Organization Profile
The Churches of Christ National Lectureship (COCNL) is a long-running annual Bible lectureship associated with the African American Churches of Christ. The lectureship gathers Christians for concentrated preaching, teaching, worship, and fellowship. The lectureship traces its beginnings to 1945 and has continued as a national gathering where attendees hear Bible-centered lessons from a wide range of speakers and teachers connected with churches of Christ.
COCNL is designed to strengthen faith and encourage congregations through Scripture-focused instruction and practical teaching for Christian living and congregational life. While themes and presenters change from year to year, the consistent purpose is to build up the church through lessons that address topics such as biblical interpretation, discipleship, worship, leadership, evangelism, and doctrinal study. The multi-session format allows attendees to learn across several subjects in a single gathering.
The “National Lectureship” is also a relational gathering point. Over the years it has served as a place where Christians reconnect across regions, encourage one another, and share ministry experiences. COCNL is widely recognized for its historic roots and influence within the African American churches of Christ tradition, while remaining open to participants from a broad range of congregations who want Bible teaching and fellowship in a national setting.
Geographically, the lectureship is commonly associated with the Atlanta area and is coordinated in cooperation with host-area congregations. Administrative information is publicly provided through the official COCNL website, including a mailing address in McDonough, Georgia, which serves as a consistent point of contact for registration help, general questions, and correspondence.
Beyond attending in person, people can engage by sharing the lectureship with their congregation, supporting the work financially, and following official communications for updates. The organization also maintains an official Facebook presence, and public resources include online registration and participation information for attendees, vendors, and sponsors.

Teach The Unreached — Organization Profile
Teach The Unreached is a Christian education and missions initiative that connects teachers and school leaders with classroom opportunities in unreached regions of the world. The organization’s website describes its work with the phrase “Where classrooms become mission fields in unreached places.” Its focus is placing qualified educators in schools located in some of the world’s least reached regions, where students and staff may come from many backgrounds, including non-Christian backgrounds.
The organization’s core mission is to help teachers bring both knowledge and hope into educational settings where Christian witness and educational service intersect. Teach The Unreached presents teaching as a form of mission engagement, emphasizing that classrooms can be places where students are served through academic instruction, personal care, and faithful presence. Rather than presenting only short-term volunteer roles, the organization lists professional school positions that require instructional skill, cultural adaptability, and commitment to serving overseas.
Teach The Unreached serves schools, students, and educators connected with unreached regions around the world. Its public materials do not identify every country or school location, which is common for ministries working in sensitive contexts. The website describes partner schools in least reached regions where students and staff come from a variety of backgrounds. The ministry’s geographic scope is therefore global in orientation, with a special focus on communities where gospel access is limited and where education can become a meaningful bridge for service.
The organization operates by recruiting educators for specific school roles. Publicly listed openings include Elementary English Teacher, Middle School English Teacher, Secondary Humanities Coordinator, Secondary Assistant Principal, Robotics and Technology Teacher, and Middle School / High School Mathematics Teacher. These roles show that Teach The Unreached is not limited to one classroom level or subject area; it seeks teachers and school leaders who can serve across elementary, middle school, and secondary education, including humanities, mathematics, English, technology, and school administration.
Teach The Unreached also describes practical support for its staff. Publicly listed benefits include a salary for teachers, arranged housing within walking distance of the school, one annual flight to and from the staff member’s home country, a living stipend, local health insurance, and a spiritual community. These details indicate that the organization’s model is structured to help educators live and serve sustainably while overseas, rather than requiring them to navigate every logistical need on their own.
People can engage Teach The Unreached by exploring open teaching and school leadership roles, submitting the website’s Get Connected form, praying for educators serving in unreached contexts, or sharing the opportunity with qualified teachers who may be open to international service. Churches and Christian educators interested in missions, education, and unreached peoples can view Teach The Unreached as a pathway for professional teaching service in places where classroom work and mission presence are closely connected.

The ministry is based in Port-de-Paix, Haiti, with U.S. financial correspondence handled through Evansville, Indiana. Its work serves Haitian children, families, students, church members, teachers, and community contacts in Port-de-Paix, La Pointe, St. Louis du Nord, and the surrounding region of northwest Haiti. Sonlight’s vision is to see generations transformed for God through education and to equip graduates as servant-leaders with a biblical worldview.
Sonlight Ministries began when Roger and Norma Alexander moved to Haiti in 1983 to train and teach church leaders. In 1986, they started a preschool class in their living room with four children, teaching all subjects in English and making Bible a central part of each day. That early class grew into Sonlight Academy, an English-immersion Christian school that now serves students from preschool through twelfth grade.
Sonlight Academy is one of the ministry’s central programs. Students receive academic instruction, Bible teaching, English-language education, French instruction, and Christian worldview formation. The academy describes its graduates as trilingual in Creole, English, and French, and it emphasizes that education can open wider career and college opportunities while also influencing families spiritually.
Sonlight Church grew out of the school community so students, staff, and families could receive consistent biblical teaching. The church now serves the Port-de-Paix community through worship, Sunday school, and pastoral ministry under Haitian leadership. The ministry has also included Sonlight Bible College, which operated from 2004 to 2021 and graduated more than 120 students, some of whom became involved in new church plants in the region.
People can engage with Sonlight Ministries by giving, sponsoring a student, praying, visiting with a group, applying for long-term missionary service, subscribing for updates, or contacting the ministry about employment and service opportunities. Its distinct contribution is a long-term Port-de-Paix ministry that connects Christian education, local church life, student sponsorship, leadership development, community outreach, and Haitian-led Gospel witness.

GFA World — Organization Profile GFA World, formerly known as Gospel for Asia, is a Christian nonprofit mission organization based in Wills Point, Texas. Founded by K.P. Yohannan in 1979, the ministry focuses on serving people and communities through national missionary work, child sponsorship, clean water initiatives, medical ministry, poverty alleviation, disaster relief, and other compassion-centered programs.

GFA World — Organization Profile
GFA World, formerly known as Gospel for Asia, is a Christian nonprofit mission organization based in Wills Point, Texas. Founded by K.P. Yohannan in 1979, the ministry focuses on serving people and communities through national missionary work, child sponsorship, clean water initiatives, medical ministry, poverty alleviation, disaster relief, and other compassion-centered programs.
The organization’s core focus is transforming communities through Christ-centered compassion and national missionary partnerships. GFA World describes its work as serving people who have not yet experienced Christ’s love, especially in places where access to Christian witness and practical care is limited. Its ministries combine proclamation of the gospel with tangible support for people facing poverty, illness, isolation, or crisis.
GFA World serves in Africa and Asia, with its official materials emphasizing communities in least-reached and underserved regions. The organization identifies its work with national missionaries who already know or can learn local languages, live among the people they serve, and minister within their own cultural contexts. Its public materials also describe international offices and supporters in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, Finland, and South Korea.
The organization operates through several ministry areas. GFA World supports national missionaries, helps children at risk through education and basic care, provides clean water through wells and BioSand filters, offers medical ministry through free care and health services, supports marginalized women and widows, and responds to poverty and disasters with practical aid. Its gift catalog and sponsorship programs allow donors to direct support toward needs such as income-generating gifts, child sponsorship, missionary support, clean water, and relief efforts.
A distinctive part of GFA World’s model is working through local believers and church-centered ministries rather than relying primarily on foreign workers. The organization describes national missionaries as people who are able to serve within their own nations and communities, often in places where outside missionaries may face barriers. This same local-partnership approach is reflected in its emphasis on community development, education, health initiatives, practical gifts, and long-term spiritual formation.
People can engage with GFA World by sponsoring a child, sponsoring a national missionary, giving to clean water or compassion projects, joining the prayer team, requesting resources, inviting a speaker, attending ministry experiences, applying for staff or apprenticeship opportunities, or donating through the organization’s website. Supporters can also follow GFA World updates to learn about field stories, prayer needs, and ongoing projects among communities in Africa and Asia.

3:18 Ministries is a Christian nonprofit ministry based in Globe, Arizona, serving among the San Carlos Apache people and the San Carlos Apache Reservation. The ministry takes its name from 1 John 3:18, emphasizing love shown through action rather than words alone. Its public materials describe a focus on walking alongside Apache brothers and sisters, mentoring, serving practical needs, and pointing people to Jesus.
The ministry’s story is closely connected to Tory and Kara Satter, who first came to San Carlos through short-term mission trips and later moved to Arizona as full-time missionaries. They have served the San Carlos Apache Nation since March 2004, and 3:18 Ministries was formed in February 2010. The ministry describes its purpose as coming alongside Apache brothers and sisters through life, mentoring them and pointing them to Christ.
3:18 Ministries serves churches, youth groups, families, children, adults, and community members connected to the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Its work is local and relational, centered near Globe, Arizona, a community just outside the reservation border and about 90 miles east of Phoenix. Partner churches also describe the ministry as meeting needs, mentoring students, helping families, and sharing Jesus among the San Carlos Apache people.
A major part of the ministry’s operation is hosting short-term mission teams. These trips typically combine morning and early-afternoon building projects with late-afternoon children’s ministry. The children’s ministry component is described as a neighborhood outreach with a Vacation Bible School-style format, including singing, Bible teaching, lessons, crafts, and time with local children. The ministry has also noted work connected with housing needs for elderly tribal members through cooperation with local tribal and housing leaders.
3:18 Ministries invites engagement through mission trips, prayer, financial support, and direct contact with the ministry. Churches, youth groups, and families can inquire about short-term mission opportunities, while supporters can follow updates through the ministry website, blog, and Facebook page. The ministry also invites people to request prayer updates or newsletters by email.

Mission Alive — Discipleship Cohorts — Organization Profile
Mission Alive is a nonprofit ministry that equips leaders and communities to live on mission with God, with a particular emphasis on developing innovative communities of faith and resourcing disciple-making. Based in Dallas, Texas, Mission Alive describes its work as equipping leaders for God’s mission, including church planting support, coaching, and discipleship resources that can be used across a wide range of ministry contexts.
Mission Alive’s Discipleship Cohorts (often shortened to DCs) are small groups of Christians that meet regularly to encourage spiritual growth through shared rhythms of listening to God and following Him. Mission Alive describes the heart of Christian living as learning to hear God’s voice and follow into the world as disciples, and DCs are built as a reproducible tool that supports spiritual growth, church renewal, and leadership development.
A key distinctive of the Discipleship Cohorts model is its intentional structure paired with relational accountability. Participants meet weekly in a small group setting, encouraging one another in consistent practices of listening to God through prayer, Scripture, and mission. Mission Alive presents DCs as appropriate for both newer believers and seasoned Christians, emphasizing that the steady cadence of meeting together helps form habits that shape a sustained walk with God.
Discipleship Cohorts are also designed as a pathway that grows leaders over time. Mission Alive outlines multiple levels: Level 1 focuses on foundational disciple-making rhythms and group accountability; Level 2 develops leadership skills for those preparing to lead Level 1 cohorts; and Level 3 functions as an ongoing community for leaders who are multiplying groups, raising other leaders, and practicing spiritual discernment together. Many cohorts meet online in a consistent rhythm, making participation possible across geographic boundaries while keeping the group experience personal and interactive.
Because Mission Alive aims to help churches build lasting disciple-making culture, the Discipleship Cohorts are supported by training and materials. Mission Alive’s broader story notes that Discipleship Cohorts were developed to model basic discipleship principles as part of the organization’s expanding work to equip leaders beyond church planters. In addition, Mission Alive offers learning and training opportunities through its Stream Equipping platform, which includes Discipleship Cohorts-related courses and facilitator training options.
People can engage with Mission Alive Discipleship Cohorts by joining a cohort, pursuing facilitator training, and introducing the cohort rhythm within a ministry team or local church setting. Supporters can also partner through giving to help Mission Alive continue equipping leaders and resourcing disciple-making communities.

TCM International Institute is a Christian leadership development ministry that provides graduate-level, accredited training designed to multiply disciple makers. The organization is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and serves leaders connected to churches and ministries across Europe and Central Asia, with additional engagement across Africa and other regions through a broad international student network. TCM summarizes its focus as “engaging every nation” by equipping leaders who are already serving in their own cultural contexts.
TCM’s mission is to develop Christian leaders for significant service through higher learning. Its vision emphasizes raising up leaders of disciple-making movements who can strengthen churches, cultures, and countries for Christ. To do that, TCM prioritizes accessible training for adult learners who are actively ministering—often in settings where formal theological education is limited, costly, or difficult to access.
A key distinctive of TCM’s educational strategy is its hybrid model: coursework is designed so students can remain involved in local ministry while studying. TCM describes a format where most of a class is delivered online, with an in-person component that focuses on mentoring, discussion, and application. This approach is meant to be cost-effective and scalable, enabling leaders to gain graduate-level preparation without relocating for extended periods.
TCM’s in-person instruction is anchored at Haus Edelweiss, described by TCM as its main teaching facility near Vienna, Austria, and is complemented by additional mentoring centers for students who cannot travel due to family, financial, or political constraints. In addition to formal academic programs, TCM also provides ministry resources and a global prayer emphasis through its PrayerFast initiative, inviting supporters to participate through prayer, partnership giving, and church-based engagement.
Supporters and partner churches can connect with TCM in several practical ways: by supporting student scholarships and training infrastructure, joining prayer initiatives, sharing TCM resources, and helping identify and encourage potential students who are already leading in ministry contexts. TCM also maintains a publicly listed staff team that includes operations, finance, academic support, library services, and global outreach roles that serve students throughout the year.

Zambia Mission Fund — Organization Profile
Zambia Mission Fund (ZMF) is a Christian nonprofit that supports ministry work centered at Namwianga Mission near Kalomo in Zambia’s Southern Province. The organization describes its purpose as revealing Jesus through education, humanitarian service, and Christian leadership, with Namwianga serving as a long-established hub where multiple ministry efforts operate side by side.
From its U.S. base in Abilene, Texas, Zambia Mission Fund connects churches and supporters to the day-to-day needs of Namwianga’s ministries. The work includes education and leadership development, health care, radio broadcasting, orphan care, and community support services, with a stated aim of combining practical help with spiritual care and encouragement.
Education is a core emphasis at Namwianga. Zambia Mission Fund highlights a secondary school that shapes future leaders, along with additional training pathways such as a college of nursing and teacher preparation. These programs are designed to equip students for service and long-term impact in their communities, strengthening both local congregations and broader civic life through trained professionals and Christian leaders.
Health care is another key focus through Namwianga Mission Hospital, which the organization describes as offering medical services alongside spiritual support such as chapel gatherings and Bible-based counseling. In addition to campus-based care, Zambia Mission Fund supports Zambia Medical Mission, a mobile clinic effort that travels from Namwianga into rural villages in the Southern Province to provide short-term clinics in areas that may not have local medical, dental, or optometric services.
Zambia Mission Fund also supports outreach through Namwianga Christian Radio Station (90.5), which broadcasts in both Tonga and English. Programming includes Bible reading, preaching, music, news, and informational content related to topics like health, education, and Christian family life—an approach that recognizes radio’s reach in communities where television and internet access can be limited.
Care for vulnerable children is woven into the overall ministry footprint through orphan care, including The Haven for infants and young children and Eric’s House for older boys and teens. Beyond direct care, ZMF also provides multiple ways for individuals and churches to engage, including giving to specific ministries, supporting “where needed most,” and participating through its annual gift catalog and other giving tools that help sustain Namwianga’s ongoing work.

Frontiers USA — Organization Profile
Frontiers USA is a Christian mission organization focused on sharing the gospel among Muslim peoples with limited access to Christian witness. The organization’s stated mission is to inspire transformational movements to Christ within least-reached Muslim people groups by sending teams to catalyze change. Frontiers describes its work with the phrase “with love and respect, inviting all Muslim peoples to follow Jesus.”
The organization’s core focus is recruiting, training, sending, and serving long-term teams who live in Muslim communities. Frontiers prioritizes peoples and places with the least access to the gospel and seeks to make disciples among Muslim peoples who do not know the saving message of Jesus Christ. Its approach emphasizes long-term presence, team-based ministry, disciple making, and locally appropriate strategies in the places where workers serve.
Frontiers USA is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and is part of a wider Frontiers network with national offices in multiple countries. The U.S. organization serves churches, mission candidates, long-term workers, short-term participants, and supporters who want to engage Muslim peoples. Its ministry scope includes regions of the Muslim world such as North Africa, the Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa, Türkiye and the Balkans, the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula, Central Asia and the Caucasus, Southwest Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
The organization operates through a process it describes as recruit, train, send, and serve. Frontiers coaches across the United States help identify followers of Christ who share the organization’s heart for Muslims. Training prepares workers for language learning, disciple making, personal development, and healthy team dynamics. Teams are then sent to least-reached Muslim people groups, while pastoral coaches and other support staff serve workers and their children through the challenges of cross-cultural ministry.
A distinctive part of Frontiers USA’s model is field-governed, locally led, team-based mission work among Muslim peoples. The organization says team leaders make decisions for their own context and that teams serve with a common regional vision while adopting locally appropriate strategies. Frontiers also emphasizes coaching, accountability, grace-filled relationships, and a focus on planting healthy, reproducing churches through disciples who make more disciples.
People can engage with Frontiers USA by praying, giving to the Frontiers Mission Fund, supporting individual workers, exploring short-term trips, beginning the long-term application process, attending events, using resources, or helping a local church take next steps in mission engagement. Churches can connect with Frontiers for opportunities to send, support, and mobilize people for ministry among least-reached Muslim communities.

A distinctive part of Kulpahar Kids’ Home and Christian School is combining residential care, school instruction, Christian formation, and secure facilities on a large mission campus. The ministry reports 32 acres divided into three compounds with 24-hour security, including girls, hospital, and school compounds. Its facilities include staff housing, classrooms, a computer lab, a spacious library, playground areas, generators, and other support spaces used for daily care and education.

EnterMission — Organization Profile
EnterMission is a Christian gap-year and discipleship ministry for young adults ages 17–25. A ministry of New International, EnterMission exists to help students enter life on mission through immersive discipleship, hands-on ministry, community life, leadership formation, and cross-cultural service. Its programs are designed for young adults who want to grow in their faith, discern calling, and gain practical ministry experience before or during college, vocational training, or ministry service.
EnterMission is based in Knoxville, Tennessee, on the campus of Johnson University, and serves young adults from the United States and international ministry locations. Its experience begins with community and concept building at Johnson University, where students live together, study the life of Jesus, establish rhythms of shared life, and learn core concepts for discipleship and mission. From there, students participate in ministry experiences across the United States and, for the full gap-year track, overseas.
The ministry offers several program options, including a five-month Gap Semester, a 10-month Gap Year, a Resident Assistant experience, and a second-year Leadership Track. The first semester includes training at Johnson University, mentoring, communal formation, and ministry exposure through U.S. service experiences. These ministry trips often involve inner-city ministries, children’s homes, orphanages, Native American reservations, and service at the International Conference on Missions.
The full Gap Year adds an international ministry experience during the second semester. Students travel to an overseas ministry location, live and serve with local ministry partners, and apply the values and skills developed during their first semester. EnterMission describes this as more than taking a year off; it is a hands-on, trade-school approach to discipleship and ministry development intended to shape students as disciples, leaders, and young adults.
Mentorship is central to the EnterMission model. Each student is paired with a mentor for weekly meetings, encouragement, challenge, reflection, and guidance. The ministry’s core values include Kingdom living, wonder and curiosity, intentional community, spiritual formation, missional living, cross-cultural humility, resilience and growth, and creativity and calling. EnterMission also works with college partners such as Johnson University, Ozark Christian College, and Great Lakes Christian College for possible college credit and scholarships.
People can engage with EnterMission by applying for a Gap Semester, Gap Year, Resident Assistant role, or Leadership Track; giving financially through New International; sponsoring a student or staff member; connecting as a church or organizational partner; inviting young adults to apply; praying for students and leaders; or contacting the ministry with questions. Donations may be made online through New International, and inquiries may be sent to the Knoxville address or email listed by the ministry.

HOPE2 — Organization Profile
HOPE2 is a Christian nonprofit ministry based in Muncie, Indiana, serving internationally through mission trips, long-term local partnerships, pastoral training, education, medical care, agriculture, and safe water initiatives. Its public theme is “Ministry is never bigger than the ONE person in front of you,” emphasizing personal relationships and gospel-centered service.
The organization’s core focus is sharing the love of Christ through practical care, relationship-building, and gospel witness among communities with urgent physical and spiritual needs. HOPE2 states that when God says “go,” it goes, and when God says “put down roots,” it puts down roots. Its mission is shaped by the Great Commission and by the belief that educational, medical, relational, and practical ministry should lift high the name of Christ.
HOPE2 serves from Muncie, Indiana, with home bases in Liberia and Uganda. The ministry has also taken teams or sent resources to places such as Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Thailand, Kenya, and Honduras. In Liberia, HOPE2 has a Liberian-staffed school, clinic, and church, along with the Hope Center campus. In Uganda, the ministry is developing a Hope Center as roots are being established there.
The organization operates through several connected ministry areas. Its water work distributes safe water filtration systems and supports wells and water projects. Its education work includes Hope Academy in Liberia, teacher training, and ministry to children and youth. Its medical work addresses simple but serious needs such as malaria, parasites, and basic community healthcare. Its agriculture work includes Farming God’s Way training, helping communities learn to grow food and develop sustainable practices.
A distinctive part of HOPE2’s work is combining safe water, education, medical care, agriculture, pastoral training, and mission-team service as avenues for long-term relationships and gospel ministry. Since 2006, HOPE2 has trained pastors in Africa, and its 54TEN initiative aims to conduct pastoral training in all 54 African countries over 10 years. The ministry describes training leaders as another way of “watering the thirsty” by strengthening those who are helping others.
People can engage with HOPE2 by giving financially, donating physical items, joining a mission trip, subscribing to updates, praying, attending events, using the For Reel virtual mission trip, or inviting HOPE2 to speak. Mission teams may distribute water filtration systems, invest in children, teach doctrinal truths to church and community leaders, and serve local people in Liberia, Uganda, and other places where the ministry is invited to go.

The movement is focused on Spain, with a stated goal of reaching all 17 regions of Spain.

Spain1700 — Organization Profile
Spain1700 is a Christian disciple-making and church-planting movement focused on equipping disciples to make disciples and churches to plant churches across Spain. The movement describes itself as Spirit-led and obedience-based, with a vision to see the Gospel saturate the country through prayer, collaboration, local leadership, and reproducible simple churches.
The movement is focused on Spain, with a stated goal of reaching all 17 regions of Spain. Spain1700’s public materials identify Spain as a spiritually underserved mission field, noting that many towns and villages do not have a Gospel-preaching church. The movement’s long-term vision is to see 1,700 simple churches planted across the country by 2034, with 100 in each region.
Spain1700 began from prayer gatherings among missionaries and local believers who were asking God for a disciple-making movement in Spain. The coalition formalized its shared commitment after a gathering in Granada, Spain, in fall 2022. As the vision grew, churches and mission organizations outside Spain joined alongside teams on the ground, forming a network of nearly 20 churches and ministries.
The movement’s strategy is built around Disciple Making Movements and Church Planting Movements that multiply through ordinary believers, local leaders, and simple reproducible tools. Spain1700 emphasizes that a movement is not primarily a program, event, or institution, but a prayer-fueled work of God in which disciples make disciples, churches plant churches, and local communities become centers of Gospel witness.
Spain1700’s values include prayer, collaboration, multiplication, innovation, and empowerment. The movement prioritizes equipping local believers and leaders to serve in their own contexts, adapting strategies for each regional setting rather than depending on outside control. Its approach is intentionally scalable, relational, and rooted in obedience, with the goal of long-term transformation rather than short-term activity.
People can engage with Spain1700 through daily prayer at 5:00 p.m., region adoption, vision trips, Awake Spain prayer walks, coalition participation, and short-, mid-, or long-term mission mobilization. Churches can adopt a region for prayer, partnership, and mission, while individuals can join prayer efforts, visit a region with a national leader, or explore service opportunities connected to disciple-making and church planting. Its distinct contribution is a collaborative Spain-focused movement mobilizing prayer, people, churches, and resources toward 1,700 simple churches across Spain by 2034.

The organization describes itself as a Christian sexual addiction ministry that provides education for healthy intimacy and sexual development through Core Issue Addiction Recovery principles.
The organization’s core focus is helping Christians pursue sexual wholeness through Christ-centered, trauma-informed recovery, support groups, training, and discipleship. Its stated purpose is to help people find the gospel through addiction recovery with a focus on sexuality.

Forgiven Much Ministries serves people seeking recovery from sexual addiction, people struggling with pornography or unwanted sexual behaviors, spouses affected by betrayal trauma, ministry leaders, churches, counselors, and believers who want to help others. Its website emphasizes online groups and training, giving the ministry a reach beyond one local area. The organization also identifies connections to Africa through an FMM affiliate page and provides Spanish resources for broader access.
FMM operates through gender-specific recovery groups, spouse betrayal trauma groups, educational workshops, coaching, mentoring, and online training. Its support groups use the L.I.F.E. Recovery Model and Core Issue Addiction Recovery methodology to address the wounds and false beliefs that can drive addictive behavior. The organization states that its online groups provide a safe environment where participants can move out of shame and isolation into community, accountability, prayer support, and healthy intimacy skills.

Its Associate Study Certificate is described as an entry point for people who want to understand trauma-informed Core Issue Addiction Recovery methodology and gain practical help for mentoring or starting a support group. FMM also works alongside anti-human-trafficking efforts through demand reduction initiatives that address the demand for commercial sex.

Freed-Hardeman University Bible Lectureship — Organization Profile
The Freed-Hardeman University (FHU) Bible Lectureship is a long-running annual Bible teaching event hosted by Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee. The lectureship draws Christians from many congregations for concentrated study, preaching, and encouragement through a structured program of classes and sessions led by invited speakers and teachers.
The lectureship is organized around a yearly theme and is designed to serve a wide range of attendees, including ministers, elders, Bible class teachers, students, and families. Content commonly includes keynote-style lessons, topical classes, and track-based sessions intended to help participants grow in Scripture knowledge and apply biblical teaching in local church life, leadership, and personal discipleship.
A distinctive feature of the FHU Bible Lectureship is its connection to the university’s broader spiritual life and biblical studies work. While it is hosted on a university campus, the event is intentionally public-facing—inviting guests beyond current students and alumni—and aims to provide an accessible learning environment for congregations and individuals who want deeper engagement with the Bible.
FHU also makes supporting resources available in connection with the lectureship. These resources have historically included theme-related materials and companion content that attendees and churches can use for ongoing study beyond the event itself. The university also promotes a mobile app experience to help participants navigate event information and stay connected to lectureship details.
Churches and individuals can engage with the lectureship in several practical ways: attend in person, share the opportunity with others, utilize published resources, and support the continuation of the lectureship through giving. Those who need help with participation details can use the official lectureship information page and the lectureship registration page, and can contact the lectureship staff listed by FHU for lectureship-related questions.

The organization’s core focus is providing mission-minded individuals, churches, mission organizations, and schools with resources, connections, training, tools, and standards for effective local and global mission work. MissionWorks serves people who are just beginning to explore mission, those looking for short-term mission opportunities, and organizations seeking to improve the quality, safety, and effectiveness of their mission trips.
MissionWorks serves from Vancouver, Washington, with a national and global ministry reach through its family of mission platforms and partners. Its ministry family includes Mission Connexion, Mission Guide, Mission Linked, Mission Armor, Mission Excellence, and MissionNext. Together, these resources help people attend mission conferences, find service opportunities, connect with supporters, obtain mission-trip coverage, improve short-term mission standards, and match people with opportunities to serve among the nations.

RENEW.org Gathering — Organization Profile
The RENEW.org Gathering is an annual event hosted by RENEW.org that convenes church leaders, disciple-making practitioners, and ministry partners for biblical teaching, conversation, and relationship-building. The Gathering is designed to help leaders pursue clear, Scripture-grounded theology that fuels disciple making and to connect with others who are working to build disciple-making cultures in their local contexts.
As part of the broader RENEW.org Network, the Gathering functions as a recurring “in-person touchpoint” for a community that is largely resourced through digital content and ongoing connections. RENEW.org describes itself as a voluntary association of disciples and church leaders who collaborate to renew the teachings of Jesus for the mission of being and making disciples. The Gathering expresses that shared mission through a concentrated time of learning, alignment, and encouragement.
The event’s format is built for both depth and practicality. Sessions commonly feature short, focused presentations alongside guided discussions, prayer, and networking. Themes may vary year to year, but the consistent emphasis is on strengthening churches with biblical clarity, wise discernment, and durable disciple-making practices that can be lived out in ordinary church life.
The Gathering also connects to RENEW.org’s broader ecosystem of tools and training. Participants often engage with RENEW.org resources such as articles, videos, podcasts, and book projects, as well as learning pathways connected to Renew University. In that sense, the Gathering is not a stand-alone conference; it is one of several channels RENEW.org uses to support leaders and churches committed to disciple making.
Leadership and speaker involvement at the Gathering overlaps with RENEW.org’s ongoing organizational leadership and contributors. For example, RENEW.org’s point leader and cofounder, Bobby Harrington, is directly involved in guiding the network and shaping the Gathering’s disciple-making focus. Other staff leaders and key contributors serve in roles that connect organizational resourcing, editorial direction, learning communities, and training development.
People can engage with the RENEW.org Gathering by attending the annual event, following the event updates through RENEW.org’s events pages, and continuing year-round growth through RENEW.org resources and learning options. Churches and individuals can also support the mission financially, helping sustain RENEW.org’s work to renew the teachings of Jesus to fuel disciple making across the United States and beyond through digital resourcing and in-person convening.

Heart & Mind Partnership, Inc. — Organization Profile
Heart & Mind Partnership, Inc. is a Christian nonprofit based in Longwood, Florida, serving churches and communities in Zimbabwe. The organization describes itself as a partnership of Zimbabweans and Americans that exists to train pastors for effective church leadership and enable churches to reach their communities for Christ.
The organization’s core focus is equipping pastors with biblical training, supporting orphans with access to education, and providing vocational skills that strengthen families and communities. Its mission centers on building a foundation of faith, knowledge, and opportunity in the Binga District to advance the kingdom of God.
Heart & Mind Partnership serves Zimbabwe, with a primary focus on the Binga District in northwest Zimbabwe among remote and impoverished communities.

Its work includes the Tonga people of Binga, where pastors may travel long distances for biblical and leadership training.
The organization operates through several connected programs.

The Binga School of Discipleship is being developed as a structured training initiative for Christ-centered church leadership.

Intentional Churches — Organization Profile
Intentional Churches is a ministry organization that helps churches become “intentional” by providing a biblically based system for radically aligning a church to the Great Commission. Its core emphasis is mobilizing the “Ninety-nines” in a congregation to reach and grow their “Ones,” giving leaders a shared language and practical tools to move from scattered effort to unified mission.
At the center of Intentional Churches’ approach is ChurchOS®, described as a leadership toolbox that helps align the hearts, minds, and strength of leaders and members toward Great Commission priorities. In practice, ChurchOS is used as a framework for making decisions, setting priorities, and building actionable plans—so churches can clarify vision, strengthen alignment, and take measurable steps toward reaching people in their communities.
Intentional Churches organizes its toolboxes around specific ministry layers. OneTeam focuses on aligning and activating the leadership team, providing a proven toolbox for clarifying vision, unifying language, identifying key priorities, and translating strategy into actionable plans. OneLife is designed for congregational activation, structured as a multi-month, church-wide initiative that helps a congregation develop Great Commission “ownership” and practice evangelism habits together. Intentional Churches has also introduced OneBoard, aimed at helping elders and overseers shepherd a One-aware, activated church and pursue deeper alignment among church governance leaders.
A common starting point for churches is assessment and facilitated training. Intentional Churches offers a ChurchOS assessment that helps leadership teams evaluate alignment and activation across multiple areas, and it hosts workshops and training experiences where teams learn the foundations of the toolboxes and leave with a clearer plan for next steps. These events are supported by experienced facilitators and coaches who work alongside church leaders through planning, implementation, and ongoing momentum.
Beyond on-site training, Intentional Churches extends its equipping through digital resources, case studies, and ongoing communication to its partner community. It also publishes the Intentional Churches Podcast, offering conversations intended to help leaders apply biblical insight and practical wisdom for church health, mission clarity, and disciple-making focus.
Intentional Churches is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and serves churches across the United States through coaching, training, resources, and its growing community of participating churches. Churches and leaders can engage by exploring ChurchOS and related toolboxes, using the assessment as a baseline for alignment, attending training experiences, and connecting with the team through the organization’s contact channels.

Project Mañana began from the mission work of Brian and Nebraska Berman, who co-founded the ministry after Brian moved to the Dominican Republic in 2007 and began developing relationships with local communities. The organization officially opened in 2010 and has developed a ministry model that combines child sponsorship, direct services, discipleship, local employment, and short-term mission participation.

Partner135 — Organization Profile
Partner135, also written as Partner 135, is an international Christian mission agency committed to equipping today’s church to reach today’s world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The organization describes its work as empowering the national church where it is by forming strategic partnerships between U.S. disciples and indigenous disciples who serve within specific cultures and geographic regions.
The ministry is based in Van Buren, Arkansas, and serves through established work on four continents, including ministry connections in Uganda, South Asia, Romania, Tanzania, Peru, Nepal, India, the Frontier, Kenya, and Egypt. Partner135 works with national pastors, church leaders, missionaries, churches, and mission volunteers to reach unreached, under-reached, and under-served peoples.
Partner135 summarizes its ministry approach through three words: Discover, Develop, and Deploy. The organization seeks to discover unreached and unengaged people groups, develop contextualized strategies with national church leaders, and deploy missionaries, short-term teams, resources, and funds for training and service. This model reflects a focus on local church partnerships, contextual mission strategy, and reproducible leadership development.
Short-term mission mobilization is a major part of Partner135’s work. The organization sends disciples from the United States to serve alongside national pastors and church leaders for one- to three-week mission projects, many of them in remote areas. These trips include sharing the Gospel, meeting practical needs, and supporting ongoing ministry led by local believers.
Partner135 also supports year-round ministry through sponsorships, church planting, pastor support, child and school sponsorship, missionary support, international staff support, project funding, elderly and widow support, and emergency relief. Its giving opportunities emphasize teaching the Gospel, training the next generation of believers, and telling stories of what God is doing through partner ministries around the world.
People can engage with Partner135 by praying, giving, becoming a Gospel Partner, joining the prayer team, supporting a missionary or project, sponsoring children or schools, joining a short-term mission trip, or contacting the organization about mobilization. Its distinct contribution is connecting U.S. churches and disciples with national church leaders to advance Gospel work among unreached and underserved communities through partnership, training, mobilization, and practical support.

Flights for Christ — Organization Profile
Flights for Christ is a Christian 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Mount Vernon, Illinois. The organization is dedicated to providing spiritual and material support to missionaries, missionary families, and missions through aviation transportation, mercy flights, and humanitarian services. Its work uses aircraft and aviation logistics to help move supplies, people, and basic necessities where they are needed.
The organization’s core focus is providing aviation transportation for missionaries, mission organizations, and people facing urgent practical needs. Flights for Christ describes its support as both spiritual and material, with aviation serving as a ministry tool. Its public mission information emphasizes transportation for missionaries, humanitarian support, and flights connected with medical needs, family crises, and disaster-related assistance.
Flights for Christ serves from Mount Vernon, Illinois, with work connected to both the United States and Haiti. Since 2012, the organization has partnered with several mission organizations in Haiti by helping transport needed supplies. It has also assisted with compassion flights within the United States, including non-emergency medical patients and relocations. The International Association of Missionary Aviation describes the ministry’s work as domestic compassion flights and Haitian missionary support.
The organization operates through practical flight-based service rather than a large public program structure. Its work includes transporting supplies to missionaries, moving basic necessities to victims of natural disasters, and helping transport people with medical needs or family crises. Public nonprofit directory information describes Flights for Christ’s program areas in these same categories, with an emphasis on aviation transportation to missionaries and humanitarian needs.
A distinctive part of Flights for Christ’s ministry is using aviation to connect Christian mission support, humanitarian response, and compassion transportation. The organization’s public materials point to a flexible model: flights may support missionaries serving in Haiti, help people in the United States with non-emergency medical or relocation needs, or move supplies connected with disaster response. This allows the ministry to serve both mission partners and individuals facing difficult circumstances.
People can engage with Flights for Christ by contacting the organization directly, following its flight activity through its Facebook page, or supporting its aviation-based mission work. The organization’s website directs visitors to Facebook for current updates and ongoing activity. Supporters, churches, and mission partners can use the listed email address and mailing address to make contact about needs, partnership, or support.
