Chaplaincy Endorsement Commission — Organization Profile The Chaplaincy Endorsement Commission (CEC) is an endorsing agency connected with the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. The CEC provides ecclesiastical endorsement and ongoing pastoral care for chaplains and ministry counselors who serve in settings where endorsement is commonly required or requested—such as the military, hospitals and hospice care, prisons and corrections, and other institutional or corporate environments. CEC’s administrative contact information lists a mailing address in Vint Hills, Virginia, and the commission supports chaplains who serve across a wide range of “using agencies.” Rather than operating as a local church or a direct-service program, the CEC’s primary function is to maintain an official relationship with endorsed chaplains, confirming their standing and alignment…
Chaplaincy Endorsement Commission — Organization Profile
The Chaplaincy Endorsement Commission (CEC) is an endorsing agency connected with the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. The CEC provides ecclesiastical endorsement and ongoing pastoral care for chaplains and ministry counselors who serve in settings where endorsement is commonly required or requested—such as the military, hospitals and hospice care, prisons and corrections, and other institutional or corporate environments.
CEC’s administrative contact information lists a mailing address in Vint Hills, Virginia, and the commission supports chaplains who serve across a wide range of “using agencies.” Rather than operating as a local church or a direct-service program, the CEC’s primary function is to maintain an official relationship with endorsed chaplains, confirming their standing and alignment with the faith community they represent while they minister in specialized contexts.
A clear part of the organization’s work is establishing shared expectations for those it endorses. The CEC publishes “Common Points of Shared Faith,” outlining theological commitments and ministry posture expected of endorsed chaplains and counselors, including a commitment to serve broadly while representing the convictions and heritage of Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. This document helps define what endorsement means in practice—both accountability and unity of representation.
CEC also maintains application and policy materials for those seeking endorsement. The organization provides forms and guidance for chaplaincy endorsement, including materials for chaplain candidates, covenant agreements, and policies for different categories of chaplaincy service (including military and civilian/institutional contexts). These resources reflect a structured process designed to support chaplains before and during service, as well as to clarify standards and requirements.
People can engage with the CEC in several practical ways. Prospective chaplains and candidates can begin by reviewing the shared faith statement and then using the organization’s application materials and requirements to pursue endorsement. Churches and ministry partners can support the work through giving—either by mailing contributions or using the commission’s online giving portal—helping sustain endorsement administration and chaplain care. The CEC also publishes newsletters that highlight updates and items of interest related to chaplain ministry.

ACM International — Organization Profile
ACM International is a Christian missions organization formally named the Alliance of Christian Missions. The organization describes its work around three connected commitments: Teams of Jesus’ Disciples, Forming Kingdom Churches, and Building Global Community. Its current identity developed from the earlier African Christian Mission, with the official name ACM International adopted in 2008 and the ACM letters defined as Alliance of Christian Missions in 2009.
The organization is based in Concord, North Carolina, with a stated history beginning in Central Africa, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. ACM International’s public materials identify current travel and ministry regions as Africa, Southeast Asia, Central America, and South America. Its mission focus is cross-cultural disciple-making, church formation, and community transformation through teams of missionaries and supporters.
ACM International’s approach emphasizes relationship-based ministry in local cultures. The organization states that each accepted mission is ultimately about people, and that entering a foreign culture requires meaningful relationships with new neighbors. Its stated priorities include language and cultural learning, respect for different values, and sharing the good news about Jesus within the soil of relationships.
The organization operates through field teams, missionary support, member development, prayer partnership, giving, and travel. Its public stories describe ministry contexts involving Bible studies, media strategies, worship, evangelism, and work among specific communities. ACM International also describes a “Media to Movements” strategy as one way teams pursue targeted ministry contacts through media-based outreach.
Leadership and member care are part of ACM International’s operating structure. Executive Director Bob Wallace describes his role as providing tools, training, and resources for the organization’s vision and mission, supporting the spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial health of missionaries, increasing national awareness, inviting new team members, and expanding into new fields. Tim and Cheryl Doggett serve in Member Development, a department focused on training, ongoing support, and walking alongside new and existing ACM International field teams.
People can engage with ACM International by praying, giving, beginning a dialogue about mission service, completing an interest form, or supporting specific missionaries. The organization invites financial support online through its get-involved page and also receives mailed donations. ACM International’s engagement model includes those called to go and those called to support those who go, treating both as essential parts of its mission work.

MMI mobilizes volunteer healthcare professionals, students, and non-medical support personnel to come alongside in-country partners with a focus on care that is both clinically responsible and rooted in Christian compassion. MMI is based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, with a U.S. office connection in Olive Branch, Mississippi, and it serves partners across 23 countries.

Medical Ministry International (MMI) — Organization Profile
Medical Ministry International (MMI) is a Christian healthcare ministry that describes itself as an opportunity to serve Jesus Christ by providing spiritual and compassionate health care in communities with limited access to medical services. MMI mobilizes volunteer healthcare professionals, students, and non-medical support personnel to come alongside in-country partners with a focus on care that is both clinically responsible and rooted in Christian compassion.
MMI is based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, with a U.S. office connection in Olive Branch, Mississippi, and it serves partners across 23 countries. Rather than operating as a stand-alone short-term trips model, MMI emphasizes long-term collaboration—supporting local leadership and structures so that care continues between visiting teams and grows over time.
A key part of MMI’s strategy is facilitating 1–2 week Project Teams that serve in strategic communities alongside established partners. These teams can include medical, dental, vision, physical therapy, and other skill sets, depending on local needs and the project design. MMI outlines a participant funding model that includes application and project costs (such as accommodations, meals, local transport, and basic insurance) alongside personal travel expenses, with many participants fundraising or giving toward the overall work.
MMI also invests in healthcare development through support of Health Centers, assisting local facilities as they work to expand access to affordable, quality care. The organization notes that many centers are largely self-supporting, while MMI may assist with specific needs such as land, buildings, renovations, equipment, and training. Health Centers operate with independent local boards who oversee operations in compliance with local legal requirements, while still partnering within MMI’s broader standards and support structure.
In addition to direct care and facility support, MMI highlights Residency Training and Fellowship Programs that strengthen the skills of international medical professionals with the goal of improving access in their home countries. This capacity-building emphasis reflects MMI’s intent to serve not only through visiting teams, but also by equipping local doctors and healthcare systems for sustainable impact.
MMI organizes its work across multiple program areas, including Vision Care, Dental Care, Primary & Preventive Care, Physical Therapy, Surgical Care, OB/GYN Health, and Integrated Health, along with ongoing health-center collaboration. Individuals, churches, and medical professionals can engage by applying to serve on a team, giving toward projects and long-term development efforts, and staying connected through organizational updates and annual reporting.

BibleTalk.tv operates by organizing Bible-teaching content into series, sermons, devotionals, books, student workbooks, teacher’s guides, audiobooks, podcasts, quizzes, study plans, and topical collections.

Many materials include video lessons, notes, transcripts, discussion questions, and downloadable resources so that individuals and congregations can use the content in multiple teaching settings.

Asia Pacific International — Organization Profile
Asia Pacific International is a Christian mission organization focused on transforming lives and communities in Southeast Asia through church-centered service, education, livelihood training, health initiatives, and disaster relief. The organization is also identified as Asia Pac International and Asia Pacific International–A Christian Mission. Its public materials describe the ministry as a nonprofit that exists to help communities improve quality of life by teaching practical skills that allow people to thrive.
The organization is based in Thousand Oaks, California, and serves communities in Southeast Asia, with historic ministry connected especially to Indonesia. Asia Pacific International’s history traces back to the late 1960s, when Chuck and Nanci Wingerner responded to a call to bring the good news to Indonesia. The ministry states that it has served Southeast Asian communities for more than 50 years, with thousands of lives affected through its work.
Asia Pacific International’s work includes education programs that support online learning, early academic and character-building skills, and computer skills for youth. These efforts are designed to help children and young people gain foundational abilities that can strengthen future opportunities. The ministry’s educational approach is practical and community-oriented, connecting learning with long-term community development rather than limiting service to short-term aid.
The organization also works in livelihood development. Its public materials list micro-business education and training, sustainable agriculture, animal business opportunities, culinary and sewing skills for women, and technology skills for men. These programs reflect a strategy of equipping local people with usable skills that can support families, encourage local enterprise, and increase resilience in under-resourced communities.
Health and relief are also part of Asia Pacific International’s ministry. The organization identifies medical clinics and disaster relief among its areas of impact. These efforts are presented as part of a broader mission to serve practical needs while strengthening communities. The ministry invites supporters to contact its team for more information about partnership and ongoing work in Southeast Asia.
People can engage with Asia Pacific International by praying for its work, giving financially, contacting the ministry for more information, and exploring partnership opportunities. The organization’s giving platform supports donations to the mission, while its contact information provides a direct way for churches, donors, and individuals to learn more about current needs and ways to participate in community transformation in Southeast Asia.

Formerly known through its long-running work as Windward Islands School of Evangelism, WISE exists to help evangelize Caribbean societies and encourage growth toward spiritual maturity through the development of leaders for the church.

WISE is publicly connected with Carl Junction, Missouri, and its ministry work is directed toward Caribbean churches and leaders.

WISE Missions — Organization Profile
WISE Missions is a Christian ministry focused on equipping leaders for the churches of the Caribbean. Formerly known through its long-running work as Windward Islands School of Evangelism, WISE exists to help evangelize Caribbean societies and encourage growth toward spiritual maturity through the development of leaders for the church. Its current ministry emphasizes teaching, encouragement, and equipping rather than a residential degree program.
WISE is publicly connected with Carl Junction, Missouri, and its ministry work is directed toward Caribbean churches and leaders. The ministry’s history began in St. Lucia in 1979, followed by many years of Bible college ministry in St. Vincent from 1980 to 2015 and Barbados from 2015 to 2025. Students came from the English-speaking Caribbean and Haiti, and WISE reports more than 300 graduates serving churches in at least 12 countries.
Beginning in 2025, WISE adopted a new ministry model: going to churches in the Caribbean rather than hosting students in one central location. This shift allows the ministry to continue its historical mission while focusing more directly on the needs of local congregations. WISE describes the advantages of this model as focusing on specific church needs, remaining flexible across multiple countries and ministry situations, and partnering with God’s people in Caribbean churches.
WISE now offers training retreats, theme classes, online studies, and church collaboration. Training retreats provide brief periods of teaching and fellowship in various countries. Theme classes are week-long learning opportunities on selected topics. Online studies offer short instruction in biblical and practical subjects, and church collaboration allows WISE to participate in conferences, seminars, and other activities with local churches.
The ministry serves individual church members, church leaders, and congregations seeking practical biblical training. Individuals may attend classes or retreats when offered in their church or area, join online studies, and encourage others to participate. Church leaders may work with WISE to assess specific needs in their congregation, schedule a training retreat or theme class, and invite members to take part in available learning opportunities. WISE states that individuals may participate in any class or study it offers at no charge.
People can engage with WISE Missions by praying for its activities, giving financially, contacting the ministry about training opportunities, or participating in a traveling church team. WISE notes that teams may help with Caribbean trips by leading Vacation Bible School for children while training sessions are underway or by supporting other aspects of training retreats. Churches interested in trip opportunities are encouraged to contact WISE directly for dates, venues, responsibilities, and other details.

Oklahoma Christian University (OC) is a private Christian university rooted in the churches of Christ, with its main campus at 2501 E. Memorial Road in Edmond, Oklahoma, on the north side of the Oklahoma City metro area. Founded in 1950 as Central Christian College in Bartlesville, OC has developed into a four-year university serving more than 2,000 students while maintaining an identity shaped by Christian conviction and community expectations.
OC’s mission is to educate, mentor and inspire learners to fulfill their God-given potential, and the university’s stated vision is to become a distinctly Christian Kingdom University that pairs quality academics with a “Kingdom culture.” That framing influences how OC talks about student formation: academic preparation is meant to be connected to faith, character, and service, with a campus covenant and statement of beliefs that describe the university’s biblical foundations and commitments.
Academically, OC offers undergraduate and graduate study across multiple colleges and disciplines, with pathways that prepare students for professions such as business, education, computer science, and engineering, along with many other majors. The university emphasizes a student experience that includes mentoring, career development support, and spiritual life programming as part of campus rhythms. Prospective students can explore admissions routes for undergraduate, graduate, and international study and connect with counselors for application guidance and campus visits.
OC also highlights a broader geographic reach beyond its home campus. The university profile notes a commitment to learning opportunities worldwide through study abroad and through its presence in Rwanda. Specifically, OC offers its MBA program in Kigali, Rwanda in partnership with the Rwandan Ministry of Education, positioning that program as part of its global academic engagement and leadership development efforts.
Engagement with Oklahoma Christian University happens in several practical ways. Students and families can request information, schedule visits, and apply through OC’s admissions resources. Alumni and friends can stay connected through university news and events. Supporters who want to strengthen OC’s mission can give through the university’s giving pages, including options that fund scholarships, academic priorities, and campus needs.

Healthy Churches Network — Organization Profile
Healthy Churches Network (HCN) is a ministry organization that helps congregations and Christian leaders pursue church health through coaching, written resources, and seminars. The organization describes its purpose as assisting churches in becoming healthier and building a network where leaders can learn from one another and make a greater impact in their communities. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, HCN serves church leaders around the United States, and its director’s teaching ministry has also included seminars in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Germany, and Thailand.
The ministry’s core emphasis is not simply organizational technique, but helping leaders focus on intimacy with Jesus and follow His lead. That spiritual focus shapes HCN’s coaching approach, which centers on prayer, personal discipleship, and leadership health. The organization presents church health as something that grows out of the spiritual and relational life of leaders, not only from ministry systems. Its stated vision is to connect leaders in ways that strengthen both their churches and their witness in their communities.
Healthy Churches Network operates through a mix of one-on-one and team coaching, teaching events, and practical ministry tools. Its site highlights Christian coaching for leaders and leadership teams, along with a library of books, assessments, downloadable documents, newsletters, webinars, and seminars. These resources include leadership assessments, discipleship and coaching assessments, the PH Meter, and a prayer resource called Heal Our Nation. Together, those tools show a strategy that combines spiritual formation with practical evaluation for pastors, ministry staff, and church leadership teams.
Dean Trune serves as the director of Healthy Churches Network. HCN identifies him as a certified life coach who works with Christian leaders and leadership teams, helping them focus on intimacy with Jesus. The organization’s biographical material also connects his ministry to decades of prayer seminars and teaching in many states and several countries. That background helps explain the network’s strong emphasis on prayer, personal character, and long-term leadership development rather than short-term church growth techniques alone.
People can engage with Healthy Churches Network in several ways. Church leaders can explore coaching, use the available assessments, attend or host seminars, read Dean Trune’s books, or make use of downloadable ministry materials. Supporters can also contribute financially through the organization’s donation page. For churches looking for outside encouragement, spiritual coaching, or practical tools for leadership reflection, HCN presents itself as a resource aimed at healthier leaders, healthier teams, and healthier churches.

Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. — Organization Profile
Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. is a Christian prison ministry affiliated with the Independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ in the Restoration Movement. The ministry is focused on bringing the Gospel, pastoral care, chaplaincy, counseling, discipleship, and long-term support to incarcerated people, juvenile offenders, ex-inmates, and their families.
The ministry is based in Speedway, Indiana, and serves correctional settings and people connected to incarceration in Indiana, including county jails and state correctional facilities. Public ministry materials identify work connected to the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis, the Madison County Jail in Anderson, the Indiana Women’s Prison, and other correctional ministry contexts.
Shepherd's Heart Ministries takes its name from the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15. Its public materials describe a calling to go after people many others have written off, especially incarcerated youth and adults who are isolated, lonely, spiritually searching, or facing long sentences. The ministry’s approach combines biblical teaching, pastoral presence, personal testimony, correspondence, chaplaincy, counseling, and relational follow-up.
Shawn and Lynn Springer bring complementary experience to the ministry. Shawn’s story includes incarceration, spiritual transformation, Bible study, and a later call to return to correctional settings as a minister. Lynn has served in jail and prison ministry since 1987, with a particular focus on juvenile offenders, including youth who have been remanded to the adult system. Her work has included Bible studies, pastoral care, volunteer coordination, training, and long-term correspondence and visits with incarcerated people.
The ministry has served through Bible studies, pastoral care, Celebrate Recovery, chapel services, volunteer chaplaincy, juvenile ministry, correspondence with inmates, support for ex-inmates, and relationships with families affected by incarceration. Its public site also includes articles, testimony pages, prayer requests, recommendations, pictures, prison poems, and project-support information related to correctional ministry.
People can engage with Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. by praying, giving, contacting the ministry, reading ministry updates, supporting chaplaincy and counseling work, and helping provide spiritual and financial support for ongoing prison outreach. Its distinct contribution is Restoration Movement prison ministry rooted in lived experience, long-term jail and prison presence, juvenile offender care, and Gospel-centered discipleship for people affected by incarceration.

Nashville School of Preaching and Biblical Studies — Organization Profile
The Nashville School of Preaching and Biblical Studies (often abbreviated NSP) is a non-accredited Bible training program operated under the oversight of the elders of the Crieve Hall Church of Christ. The school exists to equip Christians for ministry by providing Bible and Bible-related instruction that trains Bible teachers and gospel preachers to work with churches of Christ, while welcoming any student committed to learning and doing God’s will.
NSP is based in Nashville, Tennessee, meeting at the Crieve Hall Church of Christ campus on Trousdale Drive. Its student body includes adults with varied backgrounds—ranging from full-time ministers and Bible teachers to families and church members who want deeper understanding of Scripture. The school’s format is intentionally accessible for working adults, with structured classes offered in an organized “school situation” and an emphasis on consistent study habits.
Instruction is delivered through term-based evening schedules. During Fall and Spring terms, NSP meets three nights each week—Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday—for thirteen weeks, with 50-minute class periods beginning at 6:00, 7:40, and 8:40 p.m. The Summer term runs for eight weeks and meets on Tuesday evenings, and the school also offers opportunities to participate via ZOOM-based learning (including short courses offered during Summer terms in recent years).
NSP offers two primary certificate tracks: a Preaching Certificate and a Biblical Studies Certificate. The school notes that men may complete either course of study, while women may complete the Biblical Studies Certificate track. For students pursuing completion, 36 credits are required for graduation, and each course typically counts as one credit. At the same time, students can attend classes for learning without necessarily aiming for graduation, building a schedule that fits their needs and stage of life.
A key distinctive of NSP is that there are no fees from registration through graduation (though students may need to purchase textbooks for certain classes). In addition to classroom instruction, students benefit from onsite resources, including a substantial library collection made available to support serious Bible study. Those who want to engage can review the current term schedule, pre-register as directed for individual classes, and participate in person or online as the term offerings allow.

The organization’s core focus is helping impoverished women, men, youth, and the children under their care experience educational, economic, and eternal transformation through Christ-centered service.

Global 8235 serves people in Zambia, with work connected to learning centers and ministry activity in the Lusaka area. The ministry’s outreach includes children, teens, adults, artisans, families, pastors, students, and people affected by poverty. Its founder, Tracy Murray, first connected with Zambia in 2005, moved there in 2007, and later helped develop what became RecycloCraftz before the ministry rebranded as Global 8235 in 2022 to reflect a broader mission.
The organization operates through seven connected outreach areas. Educational enrichment and literacy development include learning-center activities such as reading support, puzzles, tutoring, books, and games that help children and youth build memory, planning, problem-solving, and academic confidence. Vocational training includes practical skill-building connected to RecycloCraftz, while secure housing, medical care, nutrition, and financial principles address needs that affect family stability and long-term opportunity.
A distinctive part of Global 8235’s work is combining Christian discipleship with practical development programs that address multiple dimensions of poverty at the same time. Its financial-principles work includes money management, budgeting, saving opportunities, and interest-free microloans. Its discipleship work includes women’s Bible study, evangelistic eye clinics, financial aid for pastors in rural areas, seminary student assistance, Jesus Film outreach, Bible distribution, and regular Bible-centered learning for children and teens at the learning center.

Memphis School of Preaching (MSOP) Lectureship — Organization Profile
The Memphis School of Preaching (MSOP) is a training school dedicated to preparing men to preach and teach the Bible. Based in Memphis, Tennessee, MSOP’s work centers on classroom instruction, mentoring, and ministry-focused practice designed to equip students for service in local congregations and gospel work.
Within MSOP’s broader mission to “preach the Word,” the MSOP Lectureship functions as a concentrated week of Bible teaching and fellowship connected to the school’s ministry. Rather than being a single-session event, the lectureship is positioned as a multi-day opportunity for sustained study, with teaching that is accessible to a wide audience beyond enrolled students.
A key distinctive of the MSOP Lectureship is its emphasis on organized, topical Bible instruction delivered in a structured format. MSOP notes that lectureship week includes opportunities for multiple age groups and audiences, including dedicated classes for ladies, youth, and children. This approach allows families and congregations to participate with age-appropriate learning while remaining connected to the same overall focus on Scripture.
Because MSOP prioritizes ongoing access to teaching, the lectureship is not limited to those who can be on campus. The school provides a significant library of archived lectureship lessons that can be explored after the fact. For readers looking for long-term study resources, the MSOP Lectureship Archives make it possible to revisit prior themes and speakers, building a personal or congregational study plan from material accumulated over many years.
In addition to the online archive, MSOP also points readers to printed and disc resources connected to lectureship content, offering another way to preserve and share lessons. This fits alongside MSOP’s wider strategy of extending Bible instruction beyond the classroom through programs like MOST (MSOP Ongoing Spiritual Training), which provides free online coursework and archived teaching.
Those who want to engage with the MSOP Lectureship can do so in several practical ways: by using the archives for personal study, sharing recorded lessons with a class or small group, supporting the school’s work financially, or connecting directly with MSOP to learn how the lectureship and related training resources can serve a congregation.

Florida College — Organization Profile
Florida College is a private, independent Christian liberal arts college providing undergraduate education in a campus community shaped by Scripture and spiritual formation. The college’s stated mission is “to educate the whole person to imitate Christ in service to God and others.” Florida College describes its educational purpose as developing students spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially, and integrating the Bible as the revealed will of God into students’ lives as they prepare for lives of service.
Florida College is based in Temple Terrace, Florida (Tampa Bay area) and serves students who are looking for a traditional residential college experience with a biblically grounded emphasis. The college highlights a close-to-Tampa location while maintaining a smaller-campus environment where students live, learn, and grow in community. Campus life includes opportunities such as chapel, student organizations, residence life, and service-oriented involvement that complements academic study.
Academically, Florida College offers a range of undergraduate degrees, with the school emphasizing small classes, mentorship, and individualized academic advising as part of the student experience. In addition to classroom learning, Florida College points students toward practical development through internships, study abroad opportunities, and career preparation resources that support post-graduation pathways. This blend of liberal arts education and intentional spiritual disciplines reflects Florida College’s goal of forming students for thoughtful, faithful service.
A distinctive feature of Florida College’s approach is its focus on holistic formation—academic rigor alongside spiritual practices, character development, and community accountability. The college frames campus culture around helping students cultivate consistent faith habits and a Christ-centered worldview, not simply adding religious content to coursework. In this model, learning is designed to extend beyond the classroom into daily rhythms that shape students’ habits and relationships.
Florida College invites engagement in multiple ways. Prospective students can visit campus, request information, and apply for admission. Alumni and friends can support the college through giving pathways that fund scholarships and key initiatives; Florida College also highlights designated support options such as the James R. Cope Adopt Program, which connects donors with student needs. Churches and individuals can also connect through events and college traditions, including the annual Lectures.
Leadership at Florida College includes the Office of the President and a leadership team responsible for academics, enrollment, student life, advancement, and information technology. The college identifies Dr. John B. Weaver as its sixth president, beginning June 1, 2022, and lists key campus leaders who guide core areas of college operations and student support from Temple Terrace, Florida.

The organization’s roots reach back to the mid-1800s, when leaders gathered to launch a journal devoted to New Testament Christianity.

With a stated mission to restore, renew, and equip Christian leaders for effective kingdom service, BRM focuses on the spiritual, emotional, and relational health that supports long-term, sustainable ministry.
BRM is based in Lutz, Florida (Tampa Bay area) and serves leaders “around the world” through a combination of in-person intensives and virtual coaching. The organization describes its approach as an intentional integration of psychology and theology—grounding care in Scripture while using clinically informed tools and processes to help leaders identify what hinders healthy life and leadership.
A core service is Intensive Counseling, a focused five-day experience designed for leaders navigating crisis, transition, burnout, marriage strain, or the need for renewed clarity and direction. Intensives are structured around several hours of guided sessions per day, along with reflection and assignments that reinforce insight and change. BRM notes that intensive sessions are led by Dr. Charity Byers or Dr. Brian Stone, and are offered in Lutz, Florida and Kalamazoo, Michigan (with Dr. Stone providing most Kalamazoo sessions and periodic availability in Florida).
Beyond counseling, BRM offers Ongoing Coaching conducted virtually via Zoom, typically in recurring sessions that provide goal-oriented support and accountability for leaders and couples. Coaching options include individual, couple-focused, and group coaching, as well as Restoration Teams—a structured support process for leaders recovering after crisis or moral failure, facilitated by a BRM professional coach and a surrounding team.
For churches and organizations, BRM has developed the Unhindered Clinical Index (UCI), an assessment and debrief process intended to strengthen ministry teams through deeper emotional and spiritual health insight. In addition, BRM is developing The Ridge, a retreat and renewal hub set on 195 acres in Simpsonville, Kentucky, described as a place for rest, renewal, and transformation for ministry leaders.
People can engage with Blessing Ranch Ministries by referring leaders who need care, inviting team support through UCI and staff experiences, praying for pastoral health, and giving financially to support BRM’s counseling and coaching work and its developing initiatives.

Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort — Organization Profile
Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort (also known as Disaster Relief Effort, Inc.) is a Christian disaster-response ministry that provides material aid in the wake of major disasters. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, the organization operates a supply warehouse and coordinates rapid shipments to communities in crisis, working through local congregations to ensure help arrives where it is needed.
The ministry explains its approach in simple terms: it responds quickly to major disasters in the United States and U.S. territories by sending truckloads of emergency food, water, cleaning supplies, and other basic necessities, which are then distributed to disaster survivors through a nearby Church of Christ congregation. This model allows the organization to move large quantities of practical supplies and to leverage local church relationships for on-the-ground distribution and follow-up.
A key distinctive is how Disaster Relief Effort prepares and funds shipments. The organization emphasizes that it purchases supplies in bulk at steep discounts so that donations can be stretched further and shipments can be staged and ready to deploy without waiting on donated goods to arrive. When a disaster occurs and a local congregation requests assistance, the ministry can load trailers and route deliveries to the affected area, where members and volunteers help unload and distribute supplies.
In addition to shipping supplies, Disaster Relief Effort invites churches and individuals to participate through prayer, financial giving, and hands-on service. The organization regularly schedules volunteer opportunities at its Nashville warehouse, where groups can help pack boxes, organize inventory, and prepare loads for shipment. It also communicates ongoing activity through its news updates and reports, helping supporters track where shipments are going and how relief is being distributed.
Those who want to engage can connect with the ministry through its website for giving, volunteering, and contact information. For congregations in areas affected by disasters, the organization provides clear pathways for requesting assistance and coordinating deliveries. For supporters elsewhere, the ministry offers regular updates and published reports that document shipments and relief activity over time.

Iberoamerican Ministries — Organization Profile
Iberoamerican Ministries, also known as IAM, is a Christian mission organization based in Monroe, Washington. The organization describes itself with the words “Planting. Serving. Sending.” and works to see peoples, communities, and nations transformed by Christ through global movements of Kingdom disciples.
The organization’s core focus is planting churches, serving with compassion, and sending disciples through church planting, leadership training, education, children’s outreach, compassion projects, and missionary development. IAM states that its vision is to see peoples, communities, and nations transformed by Christ through global movements of Kingdom disciples, and its mission is “to plant churches, serve with compassion and send disciples.”
Iberoamerican Ministries serves in South America, West Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, with work publicly identified in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Central America, Sierra Leone, Spain, Italy, and the Canary Islands. Its history began with missionaries arriving in Chile in 1977 and planting churches in Maipu, a community outside Santiago. IAM was founded as a nonprofit mission organization in 1992, and the work later expanded into Peru, Ecuador, southern Chile, the Middle East, Sierra Leone, and Europe.
The organization operates through church planting, discipleship, leadership development, compassion ministries, schools, tutoring programs, feeding programs, community centers, housing projects, clean water work, business-as-mission, and missionary sending. In Chile, IAM’s Maipu churches have grown into a network of churches led by national leaders and pastors. Its IAM Institute began in 1996 to train leaders, missionaries, and pastors in biblical studies and is active in Chile, Ecuador, and Peru.
A distinctive part of IAM’s work is developing local leaders and churches that can continue extending the kingdom work beyond their own communities. In Ecuador, IAM’s ministries include church plants, schools, children’s programs, and housing projects connected to earthquake response. In Sierra Leone, IAM’s work includes clean water through manual borehole wells, medical and food-related compassion work, and church planting in rural villages.

White Fields Overseas Evangelism is a Christian missions organization established to spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ to every nation. The ministry takes its name and focus from John 4:35 and Luke 10:2, emphasizing the biblical image of fields ready for harvest and the need for workers to go into that harvest. Its stated approach is non-denominational in structure and patterned after the New Testament church.
The ministry was founded by Reggie Thomas, who dedicated his work to overseas evangelism with the goal of taking the Great Commission seriously across national and cultural boundaries. White Fields describes its work as reaching the world with the good news that Jesus brings eternal life in relationship with the one true God. Its ministry identity includes evangelism, church planting, teaching, prayer for unreached peoples, and practical care for vulnerable children.
White Fields Overseas Evangelism is publicly connected with Joplin, Missouri, and describes its work as international in scope. Its website lists ministry activity in many countries and regions, including Haiti, India, Liberia, Cuba, Uganda, Antigua, the Philippines, and other nations. The organization emphasizes support for native or national evangelists who can work within their own cultural settings, often with fewer resources than foreign missionaries would require.
A central part of the ministry’s strategy is supporting native evangelists and helping plant churches in unreached nations, villages, and peoples. White Fields states that it partners with evangelists, matches them with sponsors, and encourages prayer and monthly support. The ministry also provides resources such as sermons, articles, International Bible School lessons, Muslim teaching lessons, newsletters, and a World Prayer Map focused on reached and unreached nations.
White Fields also includes White Fields Orphanage Ministries, a children’s ministry connected to the organization’s overseas work. The ministry’s official materials describe orphanage support in countries such as Haiti, India, and Liberia. This work has included feeding, housing, educating, and caring for children through partner homes and orphanage ministries, alongside the evangelistic and church-planting focus of the organization.
People can engage with White Fields Overseas Evangelism by praying for unreached nations, supporting national evangelists, giving toward ministry work, using its teaching and prayer resources, contacting the ministry about opportunities to help, or partnering with White Fields Orphanage Ministries. The organization’s “What Can I Do?” materials encourage Christians and churches to select nations for prayer, identify contacts, support evangelists, and help launch new churches where no New Testament church is present.

Visioneering Studios is a design + build firm providing architecture, construction, real estate, and master planning services for churches, education organizations, and other commercial and nonprofit clients. The company positions its work around helping organizations move from early vision to completed spaces—pairing planning and design with the management and construction work needed to bring a project to completion under one team.
Headquartered in Westlake, Texas, Visioneering Studios also lists offices in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, Nashville, Tennessee, and Santa Ana, California, supporting projects across multiple U.S. regions. This multi-studio footprint allows them to serve clients nationwide while maintaining on-the-ground coordination for design development, permitting, budgeting, and construction phases.
A distinctive part of their approach is a Design + Build model intended to simplify communication and accountability by keeping key disciplines in one place. Visioneering describes a structured “Basecamp” process that helps teams align early on scope, priorities, and next steps, reducing confusion when projects move from ideas to documents and bids. For organizations managing complex stakeholder input—boards, staff teams, donors, congregations, or school leadership—this emphasis on clarity up front can shape a healthier project rhythm over the full lifecycle.
Visioneering Studios also highlights a Budget-Savvy™ Guarantee, emphasizing systems meant to monitor costs and maintain transparency as a project progresses. In practical terms, that focus shows up through estimating, budgeting, value engineering, and schedule planning—work that often determines whether an organization can confidently move from concept to groundbreaking. Their construction services describe preconstruction planning and coordination designed to keep scope clear before the build phase begins.
The firm’s architecture and design services include architectural design, interior design, and environmental/experience elements such as wayfinding and graphics—supporting spaces that function well while reflecting an organization’s story. Visioneering frequently references “story” as a driver for design decisions, aiming for environments that reinforce mission through layout, flow, and the details people interact with each week.
Organizations can engage Visioneering Studios by starting a conversation through their contact page, exploring their portfolio for project examples, and reviewing their service areas (Design+Build, Architecture, Construction, and Real Estate). They also publish articles and project insights through their blog, offering a window into how they think about planning, building process, and ministry or organizational outcomes tied to space.

Its public vision is a movement of believers revealing Christ to the world, with a focus on helping everyday Christians share Jesus with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
The organization’s core focus is equipping churches, women, families, youth, and individual believers to share Jesus across cultures, faiths, and everyday relationships. iHOPE Ministries works especially in the discipleship gap where many Christians want to share their faith but feel unprepared to engage neighbors from different religious or cultural backgrounds. Its approach emphasizes Scripture-rooted discipleship, Spirit-led witness, relational courage, and practical training.
iHOPE Ministries serves believers and churches across North America, while focusing on gospel witness among people from least-reached nations who now live in local communities as refugees, immigrants, international students, neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and friends. Its public materials name Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and other-faith neighbors as part of the ministry context it helps Christians engage with wisdom and love.
The organization operates through discipleship pathways, books, podcasts, church resources, speaking, online learning, and training experiences. Its ETHNOS Course™ is a discipleship pathway that helps individuals, small groups, youth, outreach teams, and churches share Jesus across cultures and faiths. The course uses short teaching videos, Scripture, real-life stories, practical application, group discussion, and action steps to help participants move from fear and uncertainty toward faithful witness.

RecycloCraftz — Organization Profile
RecycloCraftz is a Christian fair-trade nonprofit based in Lusaka, Zambia, with U.S. support connected to Louisville, Kentucky. The organization sells handmade products created by artisans in Zambia and describes its broader purpose as making an educational, economic, and eternal difference in the lives of impoverished, widowed, unemployed, and orphaned women, men, and youth.
The organization’s core focus is helping artisans and families in Zambia through fair-trade handmade products, vocational training, literacy development, discipleship, and holistic support. RecycloCraftz states that it is more than its products; it works through programs that address practical needs while also encouraging academic learning, hands-on trade skills, leadership development, and a Bible-based relationship with Jesus Christ.
RecycloCraftz serves artisans and families in Zambia, especially people affected by poverty in and around Lusaka. Its story began in 2008 while founder Tracy Murray and her family were living in Zambia as missionaries. After seeing the daily struggles of families living on very limited income, she began what became RecycloCraftz by teaching women to make crafts from recycled materials such as fabric scraps, magazine pages, plastic, and videotape film.
The organization operates through an artisan program and related development projects. RecycloCraftz works with artisans who handcraft products and receive fair-trade compensation for items that pass quality control. The organization says its artisans are trained in skills such as sewing, crocheting, beading, and other handmade production methods. Once products reach the United States, profits from sales go directly back into projects and programs in Zambia.
A distinctive part of RecycloCraftz’s work is turning discarded materials into fair-trade products while supporting long-term spiritual, educational, medical, financial, and family stability for artisans. Its holistic approach includes education, housing, medical care, nutrition, finances, vocational training, and discipleship. Its literacy development work includes Bible-centered reading curriculum and library access, including modified shipping containers used as a Biblical Studies library and a faith-based community library.
People can engage with RecycloCraftz by shopping for handmade products, donating, volunteering, hosting a “Party with a Purpose,” connecting the ministry with churches or events, joining the prayer team, subscribing to the newsletter, or contacting the organization directly. Supporters may also schedule a visit to the Louisville shop space, purchase products online, or help promote RecycloCraftz products at local events, women’s gatherings, churches, and vending opportunities.

Does God Exist? — Organization Profile
Does God Exist? is a Christian apologetics and education ministry founded by John N. Clayton in 1968. The ministry’s stated purpose is to show that science and faith are friends, not enemies. Its materials are written for seekers, skeptics, students, teachers, churches, and Christians who want evidence-based answers to questions about God, creation, the Bible, suffering, and Christian belief.
The ministry is connected with Niles and Buchanan, Michigan, and South Bend, Indiana, with its online work serving readers, churches, students, and families across the United States and worldwide. Through Does God Exist? Today, the ministry publishes regular articles under the theme “Evidence for God in the Things He Has Made,” drawing attention to design, purpose, morality, archaeology, Scripture, and the natural world.
Does God Exist? grew out of Clayton’s own journey from atheism to Christian faith through his study of science and the Bible. Clayton spent his career as a public high school science teacher and has traveled nationally and internationally to present the message of faith in the God of creation. The ministry’s work is not primarily church programming or local service, but apologetics education through publications, daily posts, videos, audio lessons, correspondence courses, and study materials.
The ministry publishes a quarterly magazine and provides books, pamphlets, charts, archives, and other teaching resources. Does God Exist? Today also points readers to video and audio resources at DoesGodExist.tv, including the basic Does God Exist? video series with John Clayton and the Beyond Reasonable Doubt series with John Cooper on biblical archaeology, the reliability of Scripture, and the divinity of Jesus.
Educational resources include three free correspondence courses, including a basic course, an intermediate course, and a 13-lesson archaeology course, along with other courses such as a substance abuse course. The ministry also maintains resource archives at DoesGodExist.org and provides special materials on pain and suffering through WhyPain.org. Its stated objective is to educate people and help them know why they believe what they believe, while persuading readers that science and faith are symbiotic rather than adversarial.
People can engage with Does God Exist? by reading daily posts, subscribing for updates, using the resource archives, watching videos, listening to audio lessons, taking correspondence courses, ordering materials, sharing articles with students or small groups, asking questions by email, following the Facebook page, or giving financially. Donations and materials are handled online through PowerVine Store, which features resources from the Does God Exist? ministry.

Disciple Heritage Fellowship — Organization Profile
Disciple Heritage Fellowship (DHF) is a Christian ministry network that supports local churches and pastors with a common heritage in the Stone-Campbell movement. Based in Decatur, Illinois, the organization describes its mission as helping churches and pastors thrive and fulfill the Great Commission. DHF traces its founding to 1985, when three congregations in Illinois and Texas helped launch the fellowship. Its current ministry base is connected to First Christian Church in Decatur, which provides staff support for the network’s work.
DHF’s core focus is empowering churches and pastors to thrive and fulfill the Great Commission. Its ministry is aimed especially at congregations seeking encouragement, practical ministry support, and a shared identity rooted in Restoration Movement convictions. The organization also provides a framework for connection among church leaders who want relationships with like-minded congregations while remaining centered on local church ministry. DHF presents itself as a fellowship that helps pastors and lay leaders remain both faithful and effective in their ministry settings.
The fellowship serves churches across the United States and Canada, with a church directory that highlights congregations from around the country. Its reach is broader than a single region, even though it is administratively based in Decatur, Illinois. DHF’s public materials emphasize support for pastors, elders, and congregational leaders who may need guidance, resources, or connections during seasons of ministry challenge, leadership development, or transition.
DHF operates through several identifiable channels. It offers resources and networking opportunities for pastors and church leaders, including its Pastor’s Network, which provides affirmation, relationship, accountability, and ministry support for those in pastoral leadership. It also promotes Interim Pastor Ministries, a missional network of interim pastors who serve churches in transition. In addition, DHF hosts Elder Forums and a national conference, creating spaces where church leaders can learn together, address ministry questions, and strengthen leadership teams. Video and other media resources extend that support beyond in-person events.
People can engage with Disciple Heritage Fellowship in several ways. Churches can connect with the network, pastors can inquire about joining the Pastor’s Network, and supporters can give online or by mail. Leaders can also attend events such as the DHF National Conference and Elder Forums, or make use of the organization’s videos and ministry resources. The fellowship invites churches and leaders to build relationships, receive encouragement, and participate in a network focused on helping congregations navigate ministry, transition, and renewal.
As of the organization’s current leadership transition plans, Rick Grace serves as church liaison, and DHF has announced Randy Roberts as its next executive director beginning in March 2026. Public leadership information also lists a board of directors and support staff connected with First Christian Church in Decatur. Together, those details show a ministry structured to encourage, strengthen, and lead churches while maintaining a practical focus on pastoral care, leadership development, and church health.

World Gospel Outreach is a Christian mission organization focused on serving and evangelizing children and the poor. Its stated vision is “Impacting the faith of Christ followers through serving and evangelizing children and the poor.” WGO describes its work as rooted in biblical mandates to care for the poor, share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and meet the needs of others in accountable Christian service.
The ministry serves in Honduras and Belize, with a U.S. office in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and ministry headquarters at Casa de Esperanza in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. World Gospel Outreach began ministry in Honduras before expanding into Belize in 2014. Its work brings North American volunteers together with Honduran and Belizean staff, missionaries, local churches, and ministry partners.
WGO operates through several ministry areas, including Rancho Ebenezer, Tegucigalpa Serve Teams, Belize Serve Teams, Relief and Development, and WGO Kids child sponsorship. Rancho Ebenezer is a family-based children’s community in the mountains near Tegucigalpa for at-risk Honduran children. The ministry provides safe homes, education, counseling, Christian mentorship, vocational development, and preparation for independent adulthood.
Through its Tegucigalpa and Belize serve-team ministries, WGO works with local churches and communities to meet practical needs while sharing the gospel. Teams may participate in medical, dental, and optical care, water-filter installation, concrete floors, home and church projects, food distribution, Vacation Bible School, children’s ministry, relational discipleship, and evangelism. In Honduras, WGO describes long-term relationships with local evangelical churches that host serve teams and help facilitate outreach in their communities.
The organization’s Relief and Development ministry strengthens local churches by helping meet physical and spiritual needs in Central America. Relief work includes clean water, shelter, medical outreach, food distribution, and church-related construction. Development work includes pastoral training and support, small-business development, microfinance, biblical entrepreneurship courses, and vocational-skills training intended to help participants grow spiritually and move toward greater stability.
People can engage with World Gospel Outreach by joining a serve trip, sponsoring a child through WGO Kids, giving to ministry projects, supporting a specific missionary, participating in church partnerships, joining the newsletter, praying for the work, or supporting the WGO Coffee Club connected to Rancho Ebenezer. WGO also lists career opportunities and service roles for people interested in longer-term ministry involvement in Honduras, Belize, or stateside support.

Healing Hands International (HHI) — Organization Profile
Healing Hands International (HHI) is a Christian humanitarian relief and development organization whose stated mission is to aid, equip, and empower those in need around the world in the name of Jesus Christ so they might experience God’s healing grace. HHI describes its work as meeting practical needs while partnering with local leaders and churches so communities can move toward long-term resilience rather than short-term fixes.
HHI is based in Nashville, Tennessee, with programs and partnerships that extend around the world. The organization’s model centers on equipping people closest to the need—local community and church leaders—with tools, training, and resources that can be sustained and multiplied within their own context.
HHI carries out its mission through five primary program areas. Clean Water focuses on providing access to safe drinking water through wells and filtration systems. Hunger to Harvest equips communities to fight hunger through basic gardening and sustainable agricultural techniques, often delivered through workshops and hands-on training. Women of Hope supports women through education, small business training, savings group facilitation, and microfinance so women can strengthen their families and communities. The MAGI Project provides gift boxes intended to meet tangible needs of children living in poverty while opening relational opportunities to share Jesus with families and communities. Disaster Response provides relief after tragedy and supports recovery through efforts such as rebuilding, distribution of supplies, and other resilience-focused projects.
Because volunteer participation is woven into how several programs function, HHI offers multiple ways for individuals and churches to engage. Supporters can donate to specific program areas (water, hunger, women’s empowerment, MAGI, or disaster response), participate in events like Walk4Water, and help pack or coordinate MAGI boxes. The organization also shares updates and stories to help partners understand where support is being directed and how programs are implemented.
For those exploring deeper involvement, HHI provides pathways to volunteer, give, and learn through its program pages, stories, and communications. Whether someone’s next step is praying, hosting an event, supplying a kit, sponsoring a project, or contributing financially, HHI frames engagement as joining a practical, on-the-ground effort to serve communities in Christ’s name.

World Bible School (WBS) is a nonprofit evangelism and discipleship ministry that helps everyday Christians share Jesus through interactive Bible studies. WBS describes its mission as “to share Jesus with the world by motivating and equipping a global network of Christians to use interactive Bible studies effectively.” Its tools are built to connect truth-seekers with volunteer “Study Helpers” who encourage, guide, and walk with students through Scripture.
WBS offers multiple pathways for study and teaching. Traditional Postal lessons allow one-on-one correspondence teaching through the mail, while WBS also supports Online lessons through its web and app platforms. WBS emphasizes that these approaches can be used by individuals or congregations as practical ways to participate in Great Commission outreach and to build relationships that lead to local connections and further discipleship.
A distinctive part of WBS’s international teaching strategy is Ocean Bridge, a system designed to teach international students without relying on unreliable postal systems. Ocean Bridge uses scanning and service-center support to speed up lesson exchange and increase follow-through for printed-lesson students in targeted regions. WBS also promotes Mathetis, a group-based platform designed for studying Bible courses together online, helping churches and small groups create shared learning environments.
WBS supports churches with additional evangelism resources and stories that encourage ongoing outreach. The ministry publishes ACTION!, described as its flagship publication, sharing updates, tips, and testimonies connected to WBS tools and global impact. WBS also points users to a digital library and other resources intended to strengthen Bible teaching, personal study, and congregational evangelism planning.
Leadership communication and updates are part of how WBS keeps its network connected. WBS publishes regular “President’s Update” communications from its president, Brian Rex Davis, and highlights ongoing efforts to expand tools, translations, and international partnerships. WBS also provides clear “how to start” onramps for churches and individuals who want to begin teaching—whether through postal correspondence, online study, or Ocean Bridge.
World Bible School is based in Cedar Park, Texas, and serves a global network of churches and volunteer Study Helpers who connect with Bible students in many countries. People can engage with WBS by enrolling as a student, applying to become a Study Helper, starting a church-based teaching effort, using Ocean Bridge or Mathetis for group study, and supporting the ministry through giving.

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.
