Camp Illiana — Organization Profile
Camp Illiana is a Christian camp and retreat ministry located in Washington, Indiana. The camp describes its purpose as creating space for people to encounter God deeply and says it fosters transformative experiences that lead people to take their next step following Jesus. Its public materials emphasize summer camps, retreats, outdoor activities, service opportunities, and year-round ministry experiences for children, students, families, churches, and guests.
The camp serves campers and partner churches across Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and the surrounding Midwest region. Camp Illiana is owned by Illiana Christian Assembly, Inc., which the camp identifies as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its campus is listed at 723 E 450 S in Washington, Indiana, and Indiana’s youth-camp roster lists the camp capacity at 394 campers.
Camp Illiana’s primary ministry pathway is its summer camp program. The camp offers First Chance for kindergarten through 1st grade, High Five for 2nd through 3rd grade, Kids Camp for 4th through 6th grade, Epic Camp for 6th through 8th grade, HS Camp for 9th through 12th grade, and Unite for 7th through 12th grade. The camp also points college-age participants toward Best 8 Days and provides a Camper Guide, mission information, session photos, and other summer resources.
The camp operates through a mix of programmed teaching, worship, recreation, small-group experiences, and outdoor activities. Its activity offerings include ziplines, a giant swing, high ropes, low ropes, a climbing wall, paintball, lake activities, pool activities, field games, and team games. These activities support the camp’s broader ministry goal by giving students and groups shared experiences that can encourage trust, community, courage, and spiritual growth.
Camp Illiana also serves churches, schools, and groups through events and facilities outside the summer season. The website lists year-round opportunities such as the Ladies Craft Retreat, Dr. Overdorf Vision Night, facility use, and an event guide for groups planning gatherings at the camp. The ministry also invites people to serve through summer staff roles, serve teams, training opportunities, and a prayer team.
People can engage with Camp Illiana by registering campers, reviewing the Camper Guide, giving online, volunteering with the Serve Team, applying for summer staff, joining the prayer team, attending a retreat, or contacting the camp about facility use. Its year-round staff provide leadership for administration, camper experience, activities, and operations while working with ministry partners and the local community.

Central Brazil Mission — Organization Profile Central Brazil Mission (CBM) is a Christian mission organization connected with Project Amazonas: Christ, Life and Health. The ministry was developed through the long-term missionary work of Earl and Ruth Anne Haubner, who began serving in Brazil in 1969. CBM’s public materials describe a ministry focused on sharing Christ while meeting medical, dental, nutritional, leadership, and community needs among people in Brazil’s Amazon region. The mission serves communities in Brazil, with special focus on the State of Amazonas, Manaus, São Sebastião, remote Amazon River villages, and communities accessible primarily by boat.

Central Brazil Mission — Organization Profile
Central Brazil Mission (CBM) is a Christian mission organization connected with Project Amazonas: Christ, Life and Health. The ministry was developed through the long-term missionary work of Earl and Ruth Anne Haubner, who began serving in Brazil in 1969. CBM’s public materials describe a ministry focused on sharing Christ while meeting medical, dental, nutritional, leadership, and community needs among people in Brazil’s Amazon region.
The mission serves communities in Brazil, with special focus on the State of Amazonas, Manaus, São Sebastião, remote Amazon River villages, and communities accessible primarily by boat. CBM’s work also has roots in Goiânia, Brazil, where the Haubners’ earlier church planting and leadership training work helped develop Brazilian leaders for local churches and Amazon ministry. The organization’s U.S. forwarding address is listed in Springfield, Ohio.
CBM operates through what it calls Project Amazonas: Christ, Life and Health. Its Amazon ministry is organized around several major areas, including medical boat ministry, nutrition work, children’s soccer outreach, construction projects, leadership training, and church planting. The organization states that its medical boat ministry allows teams to reach villages that otherwise have little access to regular medical or dental care. Visits often include medical treatment, dental care, vitamins, eye care, worship gatherings, and follow-up relationships with local leaders.
A central distinctive of CBM is its use of boat-based ministry to serve remote Amazon communities while training and supporting Brazilian Christian leaders. The mission explains that Project Amazonas depends on short-term mission teams from the United States for funding, supplies, and manpower, while the village missionaries and Amazon-region program leaders are Brazilians trained through Central Brazil Mission. This structure allows the work to combine outside support with local leadership and long-term presence.
CBM’s ministry also includes construction support for church buildings and houses for Brazilian missionaries in remote villages. Its nutrition work has included greenhouse projects designed to help improve diet and provide local income opportunities, while its children’s soccer outreach seeks to build character and evangelize through Brazil’s strong soccer culture. The organization has also described an aviation vision intended to reduce travel time, reach distant communities, support pastors and missionaries, transport medical workers, and assist in emergency situations.
People can engage with Central Brazil Mission by praying for the Amazon team, supporting the mission financially, donating needed medical supplies, joining a short-term Amazon boat trip, connecting with the mission about future trip dates, or contacting Earl Haubner or Michael Haubner directly. CBM lists scheduled and planned boat trips years in advance and invites churches, individuals, medical workers, dental workers, and other volunteers to participate in the work of serving remote communities along the Amazon and its tributaries.

Central India Christian Mission — Organization Profile
Central India Christian Mission (CICM) is a Christian mission organization serving across South Asia, with a U.S. office in Indianapolis, Indiana. The organization describes itself as an indigenously led ministry that has served since 1982 by meeting spiritual and physical needs through local believers. Its stated mission is to courageously live for Jesus Christ and offer transformation to individuals and communities through Him.
CICM’s work is focused especially in India and beyond across South Asia, where the organization trains leaders, plants churches, cares for children, and provides compassionate outreach. The ministry was founded by Dr. Ajai Lall and Dr. Indu Lall after they returned to India in 1982 with a burden to serve people who had not heard the Gospel and to respond to India’s spiritual and physical needs. CICM describes its vision as bringing the light of the Gospel to spiritually dark places in South Asia until all have heard and experienced the transformative power of the Gospel.
The organization operates through four core ministry pillars: leadership training, church planting, children’s ministry, and compassionate outreach. Leadership training includes Calvary International Biblical Academy and women’s empowerment work, equipping pastors, ministry leaders, and women for service in their communities. CICM states that its leadership-development work includes Bible training, mentorship, discipleship, practical ministry experience, career development, life skills, and self-defense training for women.
Church planting is central to CICM’s strategy. The organization trains and sends local church planters to unreached and underserved communities, where they share the Gospel, disciple new believers, and establish local churches and house churches. CICM describes each new congregation as a center for worship, discipleship, compassion, and community outreach, with local leaders serving their own communities.
CICM’s children’s ministry and compassionate outreach address practical needs alongside spiritual care. Its public materials describe children’s homes, schools, sponsorship programs, medical care, disaster relief, community support, leprosy ministry, widows ministry, prison ministry, literature ministry, and hospital and clinic work. These ministries are intended to provide safety, education, food, shelter, medical care, relief, and long-term support for vulnerable people.
People can engage with Central India Christian Mission by giving online, partnering as an individual, partnering as a church or organization, requesting a visit, subscribing for updates, praying for the ministry, and supporting specific areas such as leadership training, church planting, children’s care, and compassionate outreach. CICM also provides financial transparency information and directs questions about giving and stewardship to its team through its website contact form.

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.

Chazak Rescue — Organization Profile
Chazak Rescue is a Christian humanitarian rescue and relief organization that trains and deploys specialized first responder teams for crisis settings. The organization describes its mission as training and deploying specialized teams to bring leadership, humanitarian aid, and hope to war zones and high-risk areas. Its work focuses on people affected by conflict, natural disasters, and other emergencies where access is difficult and needs are urgent.
Chazak Rescue is based in Gap, Pennsylvania, and its work is organized for deployment beyond its local region. The organization’s materials describe a global scope, including war zones, hard-to-reach areas, natural disaster sites, Ukraine, East Africa, Sudan, Kenya, and other international crisis settings. Its teams are prepared for service in austere environments where medical care, logistics, security, and field leadership are important parts of relief work.
The organization’s strategy is built around preparation before deployment. Chazak Rescue trains participants through Chazak Foundations and a multi-year training pathway that includes Defender Training, Defender Deployment, Guardian Training, and Guardian Deployment. Training areas include emergency medicine, tactical casualty care, search and rescue, technical rescue, swift-water and flood rescue, incident command, communications, travel safety, wilderness survival, physical fitness, leadership, and spiritual formation.
Chazak Rescue’s operating model is distinct because it combines Christian discipleship, high-risk response training, and international humanitarian deployment. Cadets are trained in body, soul, and spirit, with stated core values that include whole-heart service, leadership, a culture of learning, and service shaped by Psalm 82:3. The organization also works through specialized roles in operations, education, public relations, human resources, finance, logistics, security, medical response, and crisis response.
Recent giving materials describe East Africa Deployments through Project Sandman, including medical field deployments in Sudan, emergency food, clean water, and care for patients affected by conflict-related conditions. The organization also reports Ukraine-related efforts involving individual first-aid kits, volunteer training, and humanitarian aid with local partners. These examples show how Chazak Rescue connects trained responders with practical relief needs in current crisis environments.
People can engage with Chazak Rescue by giving financially, requesting prayer updates, applying as a cadet, joining the team, requesting a presentation, partnering through business relationships, attending events such as Chazak Endeavor, or following field updates through the organization’s blog and social channels. Donations may be made online or by check mailed to the organization’s listed Gap, Pennsylvania address.

Chile Mission — Organization Profile
Chile Mission is a Christian mission serving in Chile with a stated purpose of being sent out by the church to reach people, especially children, with the love of Jesus so they may know and follow him. Jack and Janine Swanson began missionary preparation in 1992, arrived in Santiago, Chile, in November 1993, and the ministry later developed as an organized mission entity through the purchase of a ministry site in La Cisterna, Santiago, in 2001.
The mission is based in Santiago, Chile, with ministry also extending to middle rural Chile, between Chillán and Concepción. Its work serves Chilean families, children, youth, adults, local churches, and people who travel to Santiago from other parts of the country for medical treatment. Chile Mission also connects with Christian Churches and Churches of Christ in Chile and with supporting churches and individuals in the United States.
One of Chile Mission’s main ministries is Casa de Acogida “Dulce Refugio,” or Sweet Refuge House. This ministry provides temporary housing with emotional and spiritual support for parents of hospitalized children and adults receiving medical treatment in Santiago. The residence operates on the mission property in La Cisterna, where families from other parts of Chile may stay while facing burns, cancer, transplants, and other long-term medical situations.
Chile Mission’s other major ministry focus is Campo Vivo, a developing Christian children’s and youth camp and retreat center on a 90-acre rural property in middle Chile. The project is designed to provide a Christian camp setting for children, youth, adults, church retreats, marriage encounters, pastoral restoration, seminars, and future community outreach. The land was purchased in 2019, and development has included planning, infrastructure work, roads, fencing, and preparation for future buildings and ministry use.
The mission has also been connected with community ministries such as English Club, a pre-evangelistic English-learning outreach, and teaching at La Casa del Alfarero, a Christian live-in drug and alcohol rehabilitation center for men. Some of these ministries are described as dormant or dependent on additional Spanish-speaking team members, but they show the mission’s broader approach of building relationships, meeting practical needs, and sharing Christian teaching.
People can engage with Chile Mission by praying for the monthly needs shared through its updates, giving financially, contacting the mission about serving, helping with Campo Vivo development, or participating in cross-cultural service opportunities. The mission also notes its need for Spanish-speaking missionaries or couples with skills such as counseling, construction, cultivation, animal-raising, and ministry support in Santiago and rural Chile.

Christ For the City International (CFCI) is an international mission organization focused on urban ministry, local leadership, and holistic community transformation. Its mission is summarized in the phrase “Transforming Cities by Transforming Lives,” and the organization describes its work as partnering with local leaders to share the love of Jesus worldwide.
CFCI is based in Omaha, Nebraska, where its international office is located. Its ministry extends across Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mali, Nicaragua, Peru, Zimbabwe, the United States, and other locations. The organization reports workers across 16 countries and dozens of cities, with most staff serving as local or national missionaries in their own countries.
The ministry’s core focus is developing local ministry bases that address both spiritual and practical needs in cities. CFCI’s ministries include discipleship, youth outreach, medical care, education, community development, vocational training, children’s programs, feeding centers, gang ministry, health and dental clinics, and other locally shaped outreach efforts. Each ministry base is designed to understand the needs of its community and develop programs with local leaders, churches, educators, businesspeople, and partner ministries.
CFCI’s operating model emphasizes national leadership and long-term presence. The organization states that lasting transformation happens when people within a community are empowered to lead the work themselves. For that reason, most of its missionaries are nationals serving in their own countries, bringing cultural understanding and long-term commitment to local ministry.
The organization also provides mission opportunities for churches, groups, families, and individuals. CFCI offers short-term mission experiences, U.S.-based Urban Plunge trips, international Global Teams, Global Ambassadors extended trips, and long-term missions. Its mission trip process includes orientation, ministry projects, debriefing, and service alongside long-term national missionaries.

Christ Reaching Asia Mission Worldwide, Inc., doing business as CRAM Worldwide, Inc., is a Christian mission organization focused on Asia. The organization states its mission as taking the love of Jesus Christ to the people of Asia by meeting physical needs in order to gain opportunities to meet spiritual needs. Its work combines evangelism, benevolence, church planting, child sponsorship, education, medical support, and care for vulnerable children and families.
CRAM Worldwide is based in Greenwood, Indiana, and its ministry serves communities in Asia, including Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, North Korea, and China. The organization began through the missionary work of Dr. Chan Young “C.Y.” Kim and Patricia Kim, with support from leaders connected to Southern Indiana, and has developed into a mission with staff, board leadership, missionaries, child sponsorship programs, and country-specific projects.
The ministry operates through a “reach, rescue, restore” framework.

Its mission materials describe work such as churches in the Philippines and Cambodia, a medical center in Mindanao, leadership training through International Christian College of Manila, and ministry development in Vietnam.

Christian Arabic Services (CAS) is a Christian mission organization focused on Arabic-speaking people, especially in Egypt and the wider Arab world. The organization’s public tagline is “Helping the Arab World Find Jesus,” and its work centers on spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the Arab world through church planting, leadership training, Christian literature, and benevolent service.
CAS is connected with ministry in Egypt and the Arab world, with support and donations handled through Ormond Beach, Florida. Its history is closely tied to Safaa Fahmi, who served for decades in Assiut, Egypt, before moving to Cairo to expand education, publishing, and village ministry. CAS describes Egyptian Christians as designing and implementing the educational and benevolent work, while the U.S.-based ministry serves as a helper through funding, teachers, and counsel.
The ministry serves Christian villages, churches, students, leaders, children, widows, orphans, and poor communities. CAS notes that Christian villages near major Egyptian cities may include thousands of people who have little access to basic Christian teaching, literacy resources, or practical support. The organization’s work includes training leaders, planting churches, printing Bibles and commentaries, running Vacation Bible School programs, operating training centers, teaching literacy and cooking classes, holding marriage seminars, and providing food, blankets, clothes, and medicine.
Education is a major part of CAS’s strategy. The organization reports that students from seven countries have studied in its seminar programs, with extension campuses in El-Minia, Sohag, Assiut, and Northern and Southern Sudan. Its leadership training is supported through teachers, seminar programs, and partnerships that strengthen Arabic-speaking Christian leaders for local ministry.
CAS also supports Christian publishing in Arabic. One major project is the Arabic Bible Commentary, a planned 50-volume commentary assembled by Safaa Fahmi with Arabic-speaking Egyptian scholars and writers. The project is designed as a commentary by and for Arabic-speaking people, with many Old Testament and New Testament volumes already in print and remaining volumes still awaiting publication.
People can engage with Christian Arabic Services by praying for the Arab world, giving online or by check, subscribing to the newsletter and prayer points, supporting a village, sponsoring a student through Hope International University, contributing to the Arabic Bible Commentary project, or participating in a custom-designed mission trip. Mission trip opportunities may include children’s work, women’s seminars, seminars for Christian leaders, literacy training, education, benevolence, medical help, or other ministry needs in Egypt.

Christian HolyLand Foundation — Organization Profile
Christian HolyLand Foundation (CHLF) is a Christian mission organization that partners with local believers and ministries in the Holy Land. Its work focuses on supporting local Christian communities through evangelism, church planting, discipleship, reconciliation, relief, development, education, and advocacy. CHLF describes its role as standing with Christian communities in the Holy Land and helping the living church remain rooted in the region.
CHLF is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and its ministry serves Israel, Palestine, Jordan, the Galilee region of northern Israel, and surrounding Holy Land communities. In the United States, the organization also provides education and advocacy for churches, small groups, and ministry partners who want to better understand the complex realities facing Christians in Israel and Palestine.
The organization traces its story to ministry relationships that began in the 1970s with George Awwad, an Arab Christian minister in Jerusalem. CHLF was formally established in 1985 and later deepened its partnership with churches and leaders in Galilee after Awwad’s death in 2003. Today, CHLF emphasizes that the future of the church in the Holy Land belongs to local Christians, and its role is to support that work with humility, resources, and long-term presence.
A central part of CHLF’s ministry is the Galilee Team, a partnership with six pastoring couples native to the Galilee region of northern Israel. These leaders serve established congregations and home churches, while also leading church planting, women’s ministry, youth ministry, reconciliation events, discipleship, benevolence, and local outreach. CHLF states that the Galilee Team has grown from work in six ministries across five communities to ministry with about two dozen groups in nearly 30 villages and towns.
CHLF also supports specific ministries such as the annual Women’s Ministry gathering in Eilabun, the Holiday Youth Conference, and a Benevolence Ministry that provides food and basic supplies to families in need. Its Church Services information helps visitors connect with local evangelical congregations in Beine, Eilabun, and Cana of Galilee. These ministries reflect CHLF’s emphasis on serving both spiritual and practical needs through local pastors and congregations.
People can engage with Christian HolyLand Foundation by giving financially, praying for local Christian communities, inviting CHLF to speak at a church or small group, joining ministry news updates, participating in a pilgrimage, learning about issues affecting Christians in the Holy Land, or supporting the Galilee Team and related ministries. Donations may be made online through CHLF’s giving platform or by mail to its Indianapolis post office box.

CMF International — Organization Profile
CMF International (also known as Christian Missionary Fellowship International, CMF Missions) is a global missions organization that works to create dynamic, Christ-centered communities that transform the world. For more than 75 years, CMF has helped send and support missionaries serving across cultures and communities, partnering with local Christians and churches to pursue long-term, reproducible ministry.
CMF’s home office is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and its teams serve across 26 countries and regions worldwide. Current ministry locations span places such as Kenya, Ethiopia, India, Thailand, Spain, Australia, and Ukraine, along with broader regions including West Africa and the Middle East/North Africa. This geographic breadth reflects CMF’s emphasis on collaborative, on-the-ground teams that plan and carry out ministry alongside national leaders and local congregations.
A key distinctive of CMF is its focus on four interrelated ministry strategies. First, CMF supports church-planting efforts that aim to develop disciples and leaders who can multiply new faith communities—often through mentoring and leadership training. In multiple contexts, CMF has helped establish leadership training centers that strengthen Bible knowledge and practical ministry skills so that local leaders can guide churches toward maturity and reproduction.
Second, CMF’s Marketplace Ministries place working professionals in roles and settings where traditional mission access can be limited. These teams pursue holistic ministry and development through education, business, and community engagement—sometimes helping disciple and train local entrepreneurs toward “Kingdom businesses” that contribute to spiritual and economic transformation. Third, through Globalscope, CMF welcomes university students into community on international campuses where Christian ministries may be difficult to find. Globalscope emphasizes open, relational community where students can ask hard questions while experiencing Christian hospitality and witness.
Fourth, CMF’s holistic poverty-focused ministries address practical needs while integrating gospel-centered discipleship. CMF describes work such as education and community sponsorship (including support like education, nutrition, and medical care where possible), microfinance and Village Savings and Loans, Community Health Evangelism (CHE), medical ministry, and water projects that expand access to safe water and support community resilience.
CMF also describes itself as a “full-service” missions organization, providing support before, during, and after intercultural service. This includes assessment for field fit, training and coaching for support-raising, help with documentation such as visas and permits, financial accounting services, and member care that can include counseling and crisis support. People interested in serving can explore multiple pathways—from REACH (an 8-week intercultural internship) and an Exchange Semester, to the EQUIP Experience (a 10-month program in England) and long-term service. Others can engage by praying, partnering as a sending church, or giving to specific people and projects or broader needs.

CMI is connected with leadership in Arizona and serves mission workers across 110 countries. Its story began in 2004, when a mission organization working in South Asia invited coaching support for six global workers.

CMI operates through coaching, coach training, workshops, courses, mentoring, and volunteer support. Its courses include Foundations for Coaching Excellence, Advanced Mentor Coaching, Coaching with Personality Types, Coaching with Cultural Intelligence, Coaching with Life Purpose, Advanced Global Coach Certificate, and Training Transformational Trainers. The Advanced Life Coach Certificate is accredited by the International Coaching Federation as a Level 1 training program.
The ministry’s distinctives include Christ-centered coaching, cross-cultural awareness, mission experience, and training designed for people serving in global ministry contexts. CMI’s coaches and trainers bring experience from pastoral ministry, international missions, member care, leadership development, nonprofit work, education, counseling, and cross-cultural service. The organization’s materials emphasize the coach approach as useful not only for certified coaches, but also for ministry workers who want to lead and serve others more effectively.
People can engage with Coaching Mission International by getting a coach, becoming a coach, taking a course, attending a workshop, scheduling a call, giving financially, receiving email updates, volunteering, or exploring opportunities to serve with the CMI team. The organization also invites mission workers, churches, and mission organizations to use coaching skills as a tool for strengthening leaders and supporting people serving in challenging ministry settings.

Colegio Biblico is a Spanish-speaking Bible college and ministry training school preparing workers for Christian ministry among Hispanic and Spanish-speaking communities. The school describes its purpose as preparing workers for ministry in the Spanish-speaking world and providing an integral education for Christian ministry. Its training is focused on students preparing for preaching, teaching, evangelism, pastoral leadership, and service in local churches.
Colegio Biblico is based in Eagle Pass, Texas, with a second campus in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. The school serves students from the United States, Mexico, Latin America, and the wider Spanish-speaking world. Its location on both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border allows students to study in Eagle Pass or Piedras Negras, including students who may not be able to obtain visas for study in the United States.
The school was founded in 1945 by Harland Cary and his wife, Frances, after they saw the need for biblical and ministry training among Spanish-speaking communities. Colegio Biblico later expanded its work in Mexico, and its official materials state that in 1996 it began operating on both sides of the border. This binational campus structure remains one of the school’s key distinctives.
Colegio Biblico offers academic programs designed to prepare Spanish-speaking leaders for preaching, Bible teaching, Christian education, and vocational ministry. Its listed programs include Christian Education, Sacred Literature, Ministerial Science, and Theology. The school also provides core classes and course materials intended to form students in Bible knowledge, theology, ministry practice, and Christian service.
The school combines classroom education with practical ministry involvement. Its official materials describe Christian service through local ministries in churches in Texas and Mexico, evangelism in ministry fields, camps, youth conventions, preaching, music, and drama. Colegio Biblico also lists ministries connected with church planting, orphanages, radio and television, nursing homes, medical clinics, Bible colleges, and local church ministries.
People can engage with Colegio Biblico by applying as a student, supporting scholarships, giving financially, praying for students and staff, attending events, reading school news, or contacting the Eagle Pass or Piedras Negras campuses. The school’s scholarship information notes that churches and individuals help make ministerial education more accessible, including through work-study support for students preparing for Christian ministry.

The ministry’s work began in 2003 under the leadership of Workers for Mexico Mission. Con Mis Manos exists to address spiritual, educational, social, and practical needs among Deaf people who often face isolation, discrimination, and lack of communication within their families and communities.

Vocational training and practical workshops help Deaf adults develop skills for employment and community participation.

Cookson Hills — Organization Profile
Cookson Hills is a Christian children’s home, school, and therapy ministry serving children who are at risk. Since 1957, the organization has provided a nurturing home, quality Christian education, and therapy services in a safe, trauma-informed environment. Its work is shaped by a vision to raise up healthy individuals who are empowered to positively impact future generations.
Cookson Hills is located in the rural Cookson Hills region of Northeast Oklahoma, with its campus in Kansas, Oklahoma. The ministry serves children ages 5–17 from across the United States who have experienced challenges such as family instability, school truancy, homelessness, poor peer relationships, abuse, or neglect. Children are privately placed with the consent of a parent or guardian when the family is seeking placement and support.
The organization’s model combines home life, education, and therapy. In the residential program, children live in family-style homes with married Christian houseparents who are trained in trauma-informed care. Houseparents provide stability, daily structure, encouragement, and life-skills support while walking with each child toward personal goals and growth.
Education is provided through Cookson Hills Christian School, a year-round, K–12, ACSI-accredited Christian school for children placed in the ministry’s care. Teachers work with houseparents, social workers, and other staff to provide Christ-centered, holistic education with academic support, personal guidance, and practical life tools. The school serves students who may need additional structure and support to engage learning with confidence.
Therapeutic care is also central to the ministry. Cookson Hills provides weekly counseling, horsemanship, and Equine Therapy using the EAGALA model. These services are designed to help children process trauma, build trust, develop emotional skills, and see their past through a new lens. The organization also notes that family counseling may be offered at the discretion of a child’s therapist.
People can engage with Cookson Hills by referring a child, praying for children and staff, giving financially, joining the mailing list, serving through mission trips, using VBS mission resources, volunteering labor, purchasing ministry merchandise, or supporting the ministry’s needs list. Cookson Hills is primarily funded by individuals, churches, foundations, and businesses and states that it accepts no direct government funding.

COPE Ministry — Organization Profile
COPE Ministry, formally Children of Pokot Educational Fund, is a Christian mission serving Pokot children and families in Kenya. The ministry’s mission is to provide education for Pokot children by empowering Christians and their community to nurture children spiritually, mentally, and physically so they can grow into local and national leaders who think and act from a Christian worldview.
COPE’s U.S. mailing address is Lincoln, Illinois, and its African mission is located in Tapadany, Pokot, Kenya, serving the West Pokot region of Kenya. The organization states that it does not operate from a physical U.S. office; instead, volunteers and board members support the ministry remotely while mission work continues through local employees and leaders in Kenya.
The ministry began after Paul and Mary Boatman visited Pokot in 1995 and saw the need for basic education among children from the nomadic Pokot tribe. Barbara O’Donohue later helped establish the nonprofit in 1997 to fund Tapadany Christian Academy. What began as a small school has grown into Tapadany Christian Academy, COPE House, a feeding program, medical care, evangelism, and community outreach projects.
Education remains central to COPE’s work. Tapadany Christian Academy began with a preschool and now serves hundreds of students through primary grades. The school provides classroom instruction, Christian Religious Education, worship assemblies, a library, play space, and two meals each school day for students and employees. COPE describes the school as both an education ministry and a Christian outreach arm into the Pokot community, since children share what they learn with their families.
COPE’s evangelism and outreach ministries include Sunday worship, women’s Bible study, individual witness, parent prayer days, the Jesus Film, and weeklong teaching events for boys and girls. Its community programs include COPE House for children in need, Good Samaritan sponsorships, relief food, clean water, medical care, a bakery, canteen, Farming God’s Way, sewing, and jewelry projects. These efforts respond to needs in an area with limited employment and limited access to education and medical care.
People can engage with COPE Ministry by giving financially, sponsoring a child through the Good Samaritan Program, joining the prayer team, receiving newsletters, volunteering with fundraising or marketing, inviting COPE representatives to visit a church or group, supporting relief or growth projects, or participating in mission opportunities such as the 2026 Medical Mission Trip. Donations may be made online or mailed to the Lincoln, Illinois address.

Creation Genesis — Organization Profile
Creation Genesis is an online Christian apologetics and teaching resource hosted at True Science for Theologians and Other People. The site’s stated emphasis is affirming that the Bible’s Genesis record of Creation and the Flood is correct, readable, and understandable. Its materials are written for theologians, Christian educators, church leaders, students, and other readers who are examining questions about Genesis, origins, science, Scripture, and Christian doctrine.
The ministry presence is web-based, with conference and teaching content connected to Malibu, California, Los Angeles, California, and broader online audiences. Its pages focus on the relationship between biblical interpretation and scientific claims, especially where the author believes Christian colleges, seminaries, churches, and theologians have accommodated evolutionary assumptions in ways that weaken confidence in Scripture.
Creation Genesis operates primarily through articles, commentary, embedded videos, conference materials, and curated teaching resources. The site includes materials from True Science for Theologians conferences, including TSFT15 and TSFT16, with presentations addressing Genesis 1–11, creation, the Fall, Noah’s Flood, Chinese history and writing, original tissue fossils, radiocarbon claims, epigenetics, and critiques of theistic evolution. The overall approach is a Genesis-focused apologetics resource arguing that Scripture and true science agree when both are rightly understood.
A recurring focus of the site is the importance of beginning with Scripture when evaluating origin questions. The site argues that Jesus and other biblical writers affirmed the Genesis record and that Christian theology is harmed when Genesis is treated as symbolic, secondary, or adjustable to fit current scientific consensus. Its materials also emphasize inductive reasoning, warnings about circular reasoning, and concern for how science and theology are taught in Christian institutions.
The site also highlights topics related to China and Genesis, including presentations on ancient Chinese writing, history, archaeology, and the “Creation, Fall, and Flood” theme. Other resources discuss the bilingual English/Chinese edition of Bill Cooper’s Authenticity of the Book of Genesis, including attention to flood traditions, the Genesis Flood Tablet, and arguments for Genesis as a reliable historical record.
People can engage with Creation Genesis by reading the online materials, watching embedded teaching videos, using the site as a study resource, and sharing specific pages with church leaders, teachers, students, or small groups discussing Genesis and creation. The site does not present a standard ministry donation page, mailing address, or staff directory, so engagement appears to be primarily through its freely available online teaching content.
