African Christian Schools Foundation (ACSF) — Organization Profile
African Christian Schools Foundation (ACSF) is a Christian missions and education organization that supports ministerial training in Africa. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, ACSF exists to help develop church leaders through Bible-focused education and evangelistic support, with a long history connected to gospel efforts in Nigeria.
ACSF’s stated mission is to train preachers, strengthen churches, and carry the saving gospel of Jesus Christ to the continent of Africa. The organization describes its work as combining the training of preachers and evangelists, the education of Bible teachers and church leaders, and support for campaign and mission teams working in Africa. Its primary school partnerships and training efforts are focused in Nigeria and West Africa.
A core part of ACSF’s work is supporting two schools in Nigeria: Nigerian Christian Bible College (NCBC) and West Nigeria Christian College (WNCC). NCBC was started in 1954 in the village of Ukpom, and it offers multiple tracks, including a Diploma in Theology and degree programs connected to an affiliation with the University of Calabar. These pathways are designed to prepare students for ministry and teaching roles and to equip graduates for service in churches and communities.
WNCC was established after several years of planning and began on donated land outside Abeokuta. The school offers a comprehensive Bible training program intended both to prepare secondary-school graduates for further studies and to provide foundational preparation for men pursuing ministry. WNCC also includes an additional year option leading to an advanced diploma, with coursework in areas such as theology, language, ethics, and guided research.
Beyond school support, ACSF invites individuals and congregations to engage through practical avenues: sharing the work with others, praying for the ministry, giving financially, and participating in visits to see the schools’ work firsthand. ACSF also provides updates through newsletters and publishes ongoing stories and reports about ministry and student impact connected to its Nigeria-based schools.

Africa Missions Association (AMA) — Organization Profile
Africa Missions Association (AMA) is a Christian missions partnership network that connects churches in the United States with like-minded churches and ministry efforts across Africa. AMA is US-based, with offices listed in Helotes, Texas, and West Columbia, South Carolina, and it describes its work as a “unified family of churches” supporting African churches through coordinated partnerships, resourcing, and ongoing reporting.
AMA’s stated mission is to support African churches in ways that include financial support, church-to-church partnerships, missionary identification and training, accurate reporting, and regular communication—all aimed toward the goal that “every African” can hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Its published vision is “a community of devoted disciples of Christ within walking distance of every African,” framing its work around strengthening local congregations and extending gospel presence into cities, towns, and villages.
A distinctive of AMA is how it organizes relationships between North American churches and African churches, including opportunities for partner churches to “pair up” with specific congregations. AMA also publishes a growing directory of churches it supports across West Africa, French West Africa, Central Africa, East Africa, and Southern Africa, reflecting a broad geographic scope and a commitment to serving established congregations as they mature, become self-supporting, and plant other churches.
AMA also oversees specific initiatives that focus on practical needs alongside local church ministry. Chance for Africa, launched in 2007, is an education support program that helps families connected to partner churches cover school-related expenses such as fees, books, uniforms, and meals. The program emphasizes student vetting and structured handling of donations through AMA’s administrative and financial processes, and it encourages monthly giving as a way to sustain student sponsorships over time.
In addition, AMA lists Visions + Dreams (V+D) as an affiliated program that mobilizes disciples and friends to meet identified needs in ICOC churches in Africa and surrounding communities. V+D organizes short mission trips (generally 10–14 days) that combine worship and fellowship with local congregations and service opportunities, and it also facilitates longer volunteer stays (30–90 days or longer) for individuals or small groups with teaching, mentoring, training, or professional skill contributions.
People can engage with AMA by partnering as a church, giving financially (one-time or recurring), subscribing for updates, and participating in trips or longer-term volunteer opportunities connected to AMA’s affiliated programs. For those exploring involvement, AMA provides public contact details and program pages to help churches and individuals connect with its leadership and learn more about current opportunities.

Arms of Hope — Organization Profile
Arms of Hope is a 501(c)(3) Christian care organization serving children, youth, and single-mother families through residential and outreach ministries. Based in Medina, Texas, the ministry was formed in 2009 through the consolidation of Medina Children’s Home and Boles Children’s Home—two long-standing Christian children’s home ministries that expanded over time to meet the needs of at-risk children and single mothers across the state.
Arms of Hope states its mission is to transform the lives of disadvantaged children, youth and families by providing hope and support in a nurturing, Christian environment. The organization emphasizes a holistic approach that includes case management, counseling, and education, with the goal of keeping families together when possible. Its primary service footprint is Texas, including residential campuses and outreach centers that connect families to resources during seasons of hardship.
Arms of Hope’s residential ministries include Residential Childcare, which provides a family-like setting where houseparents function as consistent mother and father figures while addressing children’s physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs. For single mothers and their children, the Together Program is designed to help motivated families transition toward stability through parenting skills, career training, and a safe home environment. Arms of Hope also operates Right Start, which supports expectant single mothers as they prepare for motherhood and care for newborn babies, often serving as an entry point into longer-term support.
To help young adults move toward independence, Arms of Hope offers a College & Career program that supports high school graduates as they pursue college, trade school, or early employment, including help for graduates who have not yet secured stable housing. In addition to campus-based residential care, the organization operates Family Outreach efforts that connect families to practical support and guidance through life challenges, aiming to help households find a path toward restoration and long-term independence.
Arms of Hope’s ministries are delivered through multiple sites, including the Medina Campus in Medina, Texas, the Boles Campus in Quinlan, Texas, and the Refuge Campus in Bastrop, Texas. The organization also lists outreach locations in Richardson/Dallas, Denton, Houston, and San Antonio, reflecting a combination of residential care and city-based outreach. In 2024, Arms of Hope also announced the addition of The Refuge Ranch in Bastrop as part of its ministry direction, expanding its capacity to serve single-mother families through its model of care.
Those who want to engage with Arms of Hope can do so by giving financially, volunteering (with required background checks for volunteers age 14+), organizing group service trips, scheduling donation pick-ups, and staying informed through organizational updates. The ministry also provides pathways for planned giving and welcomes community partners—including churches, businesses, and civic groups—to support its work serving vulnerable children and families throughout Texas.

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.

Christian City, Inc. — Organization Profile
Christian City, Inc. is a nonprofit ministry serving children, families, youth, and older adults through housing, care, and crisis intervention. Its stated mission is to extend Christ’s call to love your neighbor through housing, healthcare, crisis intervention, and building community for children, youth, families, and senior adults. The organization was founded in 1965 when area Christian churches helped establish its first cottage as a refuge for children needing a loving home.
Christian City is based in Union City, Georgia, on a 500-acre campus in south metro Atlanta, about 15 minutes south of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The organization serves people across the greater Atlanta region and Georgia, including children experiencing trauma or crisis, youth aging out of foster care, runaway or homeless youth, foster and adoptive families, working families facing instability, and seniors seeking affordable community living.
The organization’s children and family ministries include Children’s Village, Thrive, Safe Place, Crossroads Foster Care & Adoption, and Healthy Families. These programs provide residential care for children ages 5–17, transitional living for young adults ages 18–24, emergency help for runaway or homeless youth, foster and adoption support, and family stabilization resources. Christian City’s materials describe these services as evidence-based programs intended to help children and families move toward safety, stability, and hopeful futures.

Its senior living model includes life-lease patio homes for adults age 65 and over, along with maintenance, on-campus shuttle service, recreational programming, pastoral care, walking paths, an indoor pool, a strengthening center, community activities, and 24-hour campus patrol. The organization states that it is open to all people regardless of belief, while its Christian faith informs its service to children, widows, people in poverty, and neighbors in need.
The ministry operates through a combination of professional staff, board governance, church partnerships, volunteers, donors, and community supporters. Christian City also runs Graceland Thrift Store and offers ways for churches, civic groups, families, teens, and individuals to serve through special events, volunteer projects, church partnerships, tutoring, host family opportunities, and other campus-based support.
People can engage with Christian City by giving financially, volunteering, becoming a church partner, supporting Graceland Thrift Store, exploring foster or adoptive parenting through Crossroads, requesting help through Children & Family Programs, considering senior living options, attending special events, or contacting the organization about current needs.

Christian Relief Fund (CRF) is a Christian humanitarian organization focused on empowering orphans and vulnerable children to break the cycle of poverty through practical care and gospel-centered support. CRF describes its approach as “holistic,” working to address needs that touch daily life—like food, education, and healthcare—while also supporting spiritual growth through Bible teaching and partnership with local believers.
CRF is based in Amarillo, Texas, and serves children and communities in more than 20 countries worldwide through long-term programs and field teams. Their work includes locations such as Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nicaragua, Romania, Uganda, Ukraine, the United States, Zimbabwe, and additional countries where CRF partners are active. This geographic spread reflects CRF’s commitment to sustained ministry in diverse cultural and economic contexts.
A defining feature of CRF is its Luke 2:52 model, which centers on helping children and communities grow intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially. Rather than focusing on only one type of need, CRF aims to support whole-person development. In practice, this framework shows up in how CRF designs projects, evaluates impact, and communicates goals to sponsors, donors, and partner churches.
CRF identifies two core areas of work: Child Sponsorship and Clean Water Projects. Child sponsorship provides ongoing support for children’s essentials and development, with sponsors contributing a monthly gift that helps fund local programs. Clean water projects include efforts that improve reliable access to safe water and strengthen community health. CRF also notes additional ministry involvement that can include disaster relief response, schools and educational support, medical-related assistance, and support connected to church and leader training in various settings.
Engagement with CRF is structured around practical next steps. Individuals and churches can sponsor a child, give toward clean water or broader needs, or select specific giving options through CRF’s gift catalog. CRF also offers opportunities for deeper involvement through mission awareness trips that help participants learn from believers and ministry partners in other cultures. For supporters who want to expand CRF’s reach locally, the CRF Ambassador Program offers a pathway to share CRF’s work in communities, churches, workplaces, and online.

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.

Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team (DRT) — Organization Profile
Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team (DRT) is a disaster-response ministry that helps communities recover after weather-related disasters by working through local congregations. DRT is based in Tipp City, Ohio, and it mobilizes volunteers and resources to assist families and neighborhoods impacted by events such as flooding, tornadoes, and hurricanes across the United States.
DRT describes its purpose as supporting the local congregation in a disaster-stricken area by helping recruit, organize, and receive volunteers who can assist with emotional, spiritual, and practical support, including clean-up and rebuilding. Rather than replacing local church leadership, DRT’s model is to strengthen the local church’s ability to serve its community over the full arc of recovery—from immediate response through longer-term rebuilding.
In its public descriptions of what it brings to a disaster site, DRT highlights a set of mobile and logistical resources designed for sustained work. These include a commercial mobile kitchen capable of serving large numbers of meals daily, a mobile shower trailer to support volunteers on extended deployments, and trained coordinators who help manage distribution, work assignments, and day-to-day operations. DRT also references fully stocked tool trailers intended to equip volunteer crews for debris removal and rebuild projects.
DRT also lists practical relief supplies and kits as part of its response, including health kits, clean-up kits, baby kits, and school kits. The organization notes that it purchases food served in disaster areas as well as building materials and other supplies, with a stated focus on helping families who are without insurance or underinsured. That purchasing-and-provisioning approach is one reason DRT asks supporters for financial gifts and specific gift cards that can be used for needed materials.
Volunteer engagement is central to DRT’s work. DRT uses an online registration system for volunteers and provides guidelines intended to help coordinators plan lodging, meals, and crew assignments. In addition to responding at active disaster sites, DRT also promotes ReClaimed, a thrift store initiative that benefits the ministry and includes a hardware/tool area, aligning with DRT’s emphasis on practical help for recovery work.
Administratively, DRT notes that it is overseen by the elders at the Cassel Hills Church of Christ in Vandalia, Ohio. Individuals, churches, and groups can engage with DRT by volunteering, giving financially, and staying connected through the organization’s website and official communication channels, especially during active response seasons when deployments are underway.

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.

Eastern European Mission (EEM) — Organization Profile Eastern European Mission (EEM) is a Christian nonprofit dedicated to putting Scripture into the hands of people who otherwise may not have access. Based in Hurst, Texas, EEM publishes, prints, and distributes Bibles and Bible-based materials at no cost to recipients, serving people and ministry partners across Eastern Europe and beyond. EEM traces its beginnings to 1961, when missionary couples began taking God’s Word to people living under Soviet rule. In those decades, Bible access was often restricted, and EEM’s work included underground printing and smuggling efforts until political barriers shifted in 1989. Over time, what began as a mission focused on Eastern Europe expanded into a broader distribution network that continues to…
Eastern European Mission (EEM) — Organization Profile
Eastern European Mission (EEM) is a Christian nonprofit dedicated to putting Scripture into the hands of people who otherwise may not have access. Based in Hurst, Texas, EEM publishes, prints, and distributes Bibles and Bible-based materials at no cost to recipients, serving people and ministry partners across Eastern Europe and beyond.
EEM traces its beginnings to 1961, when missionary couples began taking God’s Word to people living under Soviet rule. In those decades, Bible access was often restricted, and EEM’s work included underground printing and smuggling efforts until political barriers shifted in 1989. Over time, what began as a mission focused on Eastern Europe expanded into a broader distribution network that continues to prioritize language access and local partnerships.
Today, EEM states that it exists to place God’s Word into the hands of everyone who requests it, free of charge. Through a network of thousands of trusted partners, EEM supplies Scripture to a wide range of settings—local churches and ministries, public schools and universities, hospitals, prisons, youth camps, orphanages, and other community institutions. The organization also emphasizes that it works in dozens of languages so people can read the Bible in their heart language.
A distinctive in EEM’s operating model is its emphasis on collaboration with in-region partners and logistics that enable wide distribution. EEM describes publishing and printing Bibles and Bible-based materials and distributing them through partner organizations, with an added focus on printing locally where possible as part of its strategy. This model is designed to support reliable delivery while aligning distribution with on-the-ground ministry relationships.
EEM invites supporters to participate through prayer, giving, and ongoing engagement with the mission. For recurring support, EEM offers the Hope Line Community, a monthly donor community that supports continued Bible distribution. EEM also highlights focused initiatives such as Bibles for Kids and resource projects like Envisioning Truth 499, along with regular impact reporting and media updates to help supporters understand where and how materials are being shared.

Gospel Chariot Missions — Organization Profile Gospel Chariot Missions (GCM) is a Christian missions organization focused on evangelism and disciple-making through a distinctive mobile approach. Based in Pretoria, South Africa, GCM describes its work as reaching people who are still seeking Christ while also supporting existing churches as they carry out local mission efforts. The ministry’s name comes from its purpose-built “gospel chariots”—trucks designed to function as a traveling preaching and teaching platform. GCM’s stated mission is to “invade Africa and the world” with Gospel Chariots preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and multiplying disciples and churches everywhere.

Gospel Chariot Missions — Organization Profile
Gospel Chariot Missions (GCM) is a Christian missions organization focused on evangelism and disciple-making through a distinctive mobile approach. Based in Pretoria, South Africa, GCM describes its work as reaching people who are still seeking Christ while also supporting existing churches as they carry out local mission efforts. The ministry’s name comes from its purpose-built “gospel chariots”—trucks designed to function as a traveling preaching and teaching platform.
GCM’s stated mission is to “invade Africa and the world” with Gospel Chariots preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and multiplying disciples and churches everywhere. The organization organizes its work by regions—Southern Africa, East Africa, and West Africa—and also publishes updates under “Beyond Africa,” reflecting a broader global emphasis in its reporting and training activity.
A defining feature of GCM is the construction and deployment of trucks that serve as a “church on wheels.” According to the organization, these vehicles can include sleeping quarters for evangelists, storage for literature and supplies, and a stage with a sound system for public preaching. GCM also notes the inclusion of a large tent and a baptistery to support teaching, gatherings, and immediate responses when people want to be baptized. This setup is designed for campaign-style outreach as well as follow-up visits as teams revisit areas on an ongoing schedule.
Alongside public evangelism, GCM emphasizes discipleship multiplication training using the “4 Fields” tools (presented through its partnership with Gospel Share Missions). The organization describes equipping believers and local leaders with reproducible methods for sharing the gospel and forming disciple-making groups. GCM also points people who want deeper study toward short-term schools and degree pathways through partner institutions, including Nations University, and it highlights relationships with World Bible School as part of its broader resourcing strategy.
Gospel Chariot Missions invites churches and individuals to engage through prayer, financial support, and staying connected through its updates and reports. For supporters, the organization provides online giving options and a planned giving pathway. For partners and interested learners, its website centralizes mission information, training tools connections, and ongoing regional reports that show where teams are serving and what training initiatives are underway.

Great Cities Missions — Organization Profile
Great Cities Missions (GCM) is a mission agency devoted to “Sharing Christ with the Latin World” by helping missionary teams plant churches and develop leaders in major urban centers. From its base in Addison, Texas, the ministry focuses on Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities across the Latin World, partnering with churches and missionaries to establish congregations that can thrive long-term in their local context.
GCM’s stated mission reaches beyond church planting alone. Alongside training and teaching, the organization describes a commitment to practical compassion—helping meet basic needs such as clothing, food, and shelter while pointing people to Christ and supporting local believers as they grow in faith. The long-term aim is multiplication: helping new believers and churches become leaders, teachers, and missionaries who can carry the gospel throughout their own communities, cities, and nations.
A distinctive emphasis of Great Cities Missions is the life-cycle care of missionary families. The organization equips missionaries through preparation that includes language readiness, team dynamics, and urban church-planting strategy, and it also provides ongoing support while families live overseas. That care continues through transitions, including guidance and support for re-entry when missionaries return to their home culture.
Great Cities Missions also articulates a clear vision for its church-planting strategy: to see a “main avenue” church planted in every major city of the Latin World. In practical terms, GCM comes alongside teams with what they need to establish a strong, healthy church in a city’s central hub so that the congregation can reach more people and become a stable light for Christ in the region.
With decades of ministry experience, Great Cities Missions reports that more than 100 missionary families are embedded in communities and churches throughout the Latin World, and that, using its recruiting and training model, 250+ congregations are now meeting, teaching, and serving their communities. Individuals who sense a call to missions can explore GCM’s application pathway and missionary forms, while churches and supporters can engage through prayer, giving, and following ministry updates and stories from the field.

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.

Herald of Truth — Organization Profile
Herald of Truth is a missions and ministry-support organization focused on reaching Spanish-speaking communities with the gospel of Jesus and strengthening churches through practical resourcing and leadership development. Founded in 1952, the ministry frames its work around a long-term “100 by 100” vision: planting 100 Spanish-speaking churches across the U.S. and Latin America by its 100th anniversary in 2052, while also tracking ongoing church-planting progress and partnerships.
The organization’s home office is in Abilene, Texas, and its ministry scope spans Spanish-speaking communities in the United States and across Latin America. Herald of Truth emphasizes partnership with churches and believers through giving, internships, mission trips, and collaboration with other ministries—aiming to combine evangelism, training, and support in ways that local congregations can sustain.
Herald of Truth organizes its current work into three main ministry focuses. First, MESA (Mission: Evangelize Spanish America) is designed to resource, connect, and train Hispanic ministries—especially within the U.S.—through media and leadership development. The ministry describes goals such as equipping Spanish-speaking believers for evangelism, engaging communities with creative and professional tools (including customized media and web resources), and educating church leadership for cross-cultural ministry initiatives.
Second, Herald of Truth supports holistic, local-church-centered work in Honduras. The ministry describes its Honduran efforts as walking alongside churches to meet both spiritual and practical needs, including gospel outreach and projects such as building homes for families living in poverty. Through these partnerships, local congregations are supported as they serve their communities with compassion and courage.
Third, Herald of Truth focuses on strengthening the church in Cuba by providing biblical resources, training, and encouragement for ministers working under challenging conditions. The ministry highlights long-standing partnership and church-planting efforts connected to work in Matanzas province, alongside continued outreach through radio programming and follow-up Bible studies. In each context, Herald of Truth positions its role as coming alongside local leaders so the church can serve faithfully and share the hope of Christ with clarity.
People can engage with Herald of Truth by donating, joining mission trips, applying for internships, and using its resource library and newsletters to stay connected with ongoing work. For churches seeking to expand Spanish-language outreach, MESA represents a structured pathway for resourcing and consultation, while Honduras and Cuba offer opportunities for teams and supporters to participate in sustained, relationship-based ministry.

Hope for Haiti’s Children — Organization Profile
Hope for Haiti’s Children, also known as HFHC, is a Christian nonprofit based in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving children and families in Haiti. The organization strives to demonstrate Christian compassion to poverty-bound Haitian children and their families, providing opportunities for children to become leaders in their homes, churches, and communities.
The organization’s core focus is helping Haitian children grow spiritually, academically, physically, and socially through Christian education, sponsorship, healthcare, food, orphan care, and leadership development. HFHC’s work is shaped by a desire to serve vulnerable children in practical ways while helping raise up future Christian leaders in Haiti.
Hope for Haiti’s Children serves Haiti, working with Haitian churches, schools, staff, and local Christian professionals. The organization states that its Haiti work is locally operated by trusted Haitian Christian professionals and is recognized by the government of Haiti as an official non-governmental organization, Espoir Pour Les Enfants d’Haiti. Its U.S. office in Cincinnati, Ohio supports donors, sponsors, churches, volunteers, and ministry partners.
The organization operates through several connected ministry areas. Child sponsorship helps provide tuition, school supplies, uniforms, healthcare, and special gifts. HFHC also supports children’s education and schools, orphan housing and care, medical missions, Christian leadership youth camp, crisis relief, and Project Hope 2030. Its food and water efforts include school lunch support and hunger relief, while Christmas Joy Boxes provide simple gifts and encouragement for children in Haiti.
A distinctive part of Hope for Haiti’s Children’s ministry is combining child sponsorship, Christian education, healthcare, nutrition, orphan care, and spiritual training into a long-term path of leadership development. The ministry seeks not only to meet immediate needs but also to help children grow into leaders who can bless their families, churches, and communities. Its school partnerships and youth leadership programs reflect this emphasis on long-term formation.

Impact Campus Ministries — Organization Profile
Impact Campus Ministries (ICM) is a U.S.-based campus ministry organization that works with college students through local ministry teams and a broader support structure for staff, donors, and ministry partners. Its stated vision is “Impact the U. Impact the World,” and its mission is to pursue, model, and teach intimacy with God on the American university campus in Christian community. Based in Mishawaka, Indiana, the organization serves students on campuses across the United States, with ministry teams in multiple regions and a stated concern for reaching students on American university campuses.
The ministry’s core focus is spiritual formation, discipleship, and community among college students. Impact describes success not primarily in terms of attendance or expansion, but as developing intimacy with God and community with one another through a living relationship with Jesus. That emphasis shapes its culture of prayer, team-based ministry, and support-raising. The organization also stresses connection with the local church, accountability in Christian community, and a ministry philosophy that places prayer at the foundation of its work.
Impact Campus Ministries operates through campus-based teams that serve specific universities and regions, along with an executive and support staff that help with development, mobilization, communications, and operations. Its campus ministries include mentoring, student-led gatherings, Bible study, and relationship-based discipleship, with each location shaped by its campus context. The organization also highlights team-based campus ministry, a distinctive that it says helps staff work more effectively and sustainably. In addition to established campus locations, Impact provides pathways for internships, apprenticeships, recruitment, and new ministry planting.
Its history helps explain why the name Dean Trune is still associated with Impact. According to the organization’s history page, the ministry that eventually became Impact Campus Ministries emerged in 2010 as a distinct work focused exclusively on campus ministry in the United States. At that point, the predecessor ministry adopted a new name, Intentional Impact Living, to be led by Dean Trune, with a renewed focus on prayer and spiritual coaching. Impact Campus Ministries then continued under its own board and leadership structure, later expanding administrative support, donor systems, and staff development as it clarified its mission and vision.
People can engage with Impact Campus Ministries in several ways. Students can look for a local campus ministry through the organization’s campus finder. Potential staff and interns can explore openings and application pathways. Supporters can give through the general fund, contribute to staff teams, become a Champion, or support strategic initiatives. The ministry also connects with a broader audience through BEMA Discipleship, a teaching ministry that grew out of Impact’s campus context and remains part of the organization’s wider work. For churches, donors, alumni, and volunteers, Impact presents itself as a way to invest in college students who can carry Christian discipleship into future vocations, relationships, and communities.

International Gospel Hour (IGH) is a Bible-teaching broadcast ministry known for preaching the gospel through long-running radio and audio programming. The program traces its beginnings to 1934, when V.E. Howard began preaching on Arkansas radio and became widely recognized for the question, “Are you listening?” Over time, the work became the International Gospel Hour and continued expanding distribution so listeners could access Bible lessons in multiple formats.
IGH is overseen by the Elders of the West Fayetteville church of Christ in Fayetteville, Tennessee, and it operates with a national reach through radio station partnerships and on-demand delivery. In its current form, IGH notes it is among the longest-running weekly religious radio broadcasts in America, distributing content in multiple time lengths (including 30-minute and 15-minute programs, along with shorter features) so stations can carry broadcasts that fit local schedules.
Alongside broadcast radio, IGH has developed additional ways for people to listen and watch. The ministry maintains a media library with recent lessons, provides podcast availability across major platforms, and promotes an app intended to help listeners keep up with episodes. IGH also added video distribution through YouTube in the early 2020s, extending the same teaching focus to viewers who prefer video-based access.
IGH emphasizes practical, Bible-centered teaching and offers several “next steps” for those who want to study more deeply. The ministry invites people to request free materials, including a Bible correspondence course, by contacting the office. It also points seekers toward trusted partner resources for further study and encouragement, reflecting a “connect-and-equip” approach rather than a single-program-only model.
For churches and radio stations, IGH provides guidance for downloading and airing episodes through tools such as an RSS feed and other distribution options. That infrastructure supports consistent weekly programming and helps broadcasting partners carry content reliably. In addition, the ministry shares contact details and pathways for listeners to submit questions or request materials.
Those who want to support the work financially can do so through IGH’s giving page, which the ministry describes as a convenience for existing supporters rather than a general solicitation of its listening audience. People can also engage by listening regularly, sharing episodes, subscribing through podcast platforms, and following IGH’s updates through its official channels.

Latin American Missions (LAM) is a ministry focused on sharing the salvation found in Jesus Christ across Latin America through evangelistic campaigns and long-term investment in local congregations. The organization describes evangelism as its passion and works especially in places where the church is weak or non-existent, coordinating teams that partner with local believers for concentrated outreach and follow-up.
LAM is based in Valdosta, Georgia, operating as a ministry of the Forrest Park Church of Christ, and it serves Central America, South America, and the Caribbean through a mix of training, campaign-based outreach, and practical support. A central part of LAM’s strategy is strengthening local leadership so that churches can continue growing after teams return home.
A primary emphasis is Native Preacher Training & Support through the Bible School of the Americas (BSA) in Panama City, Panama. LAM explains that many Christian men in Latin America are seeking training to preach and serve their communities more effectively. Through BSA, students receive preparation and then return to their home countries to nurture congregations and help establish new ones, with ongoing support and scholarships helping sustain that work.
LAM also organizes Medical Missions & Evangelistic Campaigns. These mobile medical clinics are designed to relieve physical ailments while intentionally creating opportunities for spiritual conversations and Bible study. LAM notes that during campaigns, each person who visits the clinic is offered the opportunity to study God’s Word, and that baptisms and new congregations often result from the evangelistic focus combined with compassionate care.
Another distinct effort is YES II, a campaign approach that trains and mobilizes youth groups to share the Word of God in everyday conversations throughout the campaign setting. In addition, LAM carries out benevolence outreach, especially during disasters, by providing familiar staple foods—such as rice, beans, flour, and oil—and working through the local church to distribute supplies. This approach is intended to support local congregations, strengthen credibility in the community, and build relationships that open doors for continued ministry.
People and churches can engage with LAM by registering for campaigns, giving toward ongoing work (including support for BSA students), and participating in focused initiatives like the Skip-A-Meal Challenge, which encourages redirecting the cost of one restaurant meal per month to support student training. LAM also provides resources and newsletters in English and Spanish to help supporters stay connected to current needs, campaigns, and ministry updates.

Let’s Start Talking (LST) — Organization Profile
Let’s Start Talking (LST) is a conversation-based outreach ministry that helps Christians build one-on-one English conversation friendships that naturally open the Bible. Since 1980, LST has connected volunteers and international participants through a simple, repeatable approach: meet regularly, practice conversational English, and use discussion-based workbooks built around biblical stories and themes.
LST is based in Hurst, Texas (Dallas–Fort Worth area) and serves international neighbors locally and “around the world” through multiple pathways. Some participants connect with LST online, some meet in local communities with newcomers and immigrants, and others travel to global sites where LST teams partner with long-term host ministries. Across all settings, LST emphasizes relationship, consistent conversation, and thoughtful questions rather than classroom-style teaching.
One of LST’s primary programs is FriendSpeak, which equips churches, campus ministries, and other groups to engage international neighbors through English, friendship, and Scripture-based discussion. FriendSpeak is designed for a one-to-one setting and is supported by training and a defined set of workbooks. LST encourages groups to pursue training before using the materials, aiming to help volunteers create welcoming, meaningful conversations and a sustainable local ministry structure.
LST also offers LST Connect, an online option that matches English-speaking volunteers (“Workers”) with international “Readers” for reading sessions through tools such as Zoom or WhatsApp. Participants use print or digital workbooks, and LST provides ongoing training and support so volunteers can feel equipped and Readers can practice English while exploring Bible-based conversations at a comfortable pace.
For those called to cross-cultural service in-person, LST International Projects send small, well-prepared teams to partner with host sites. LST describes these as “projects” (not traditional mission trips), with teams typically serving 2–6 weeks and focusing on one main task—building bridges into the community through English conversation practice. LST’s full-service model includes training, fundraising support, onsite support, and post-project debriefing, with options for families and special tracks like YoungFriends for youth groups and Christian high schools.
Training is central to how LST operates. The ministry offers recurring entry points like “Exploring LST,” along with core preparation such as Basic Training and additional components for project teams, including Gateway Training (pre-departure preparation) and EndMeetings (post-project debriefing). LST also provides monthly Advanced Training for experienced participants who want deeper understanding of the approach and more tools for meaningful conversations. People can engage with LST by volunteering, hosting or launching a FriendSpeak ministry, joining LST Connect, serving on a project team, attending training, and supporting the ministry financially.
