CrossWay Missions is a Christian mission organization focused on evangelism, Restoration Movement preaching, and support for multiple mission efforts. The organization describes itself as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to spreading the simple undenominational Gospel of Jesus Christ through multiple missions. Its stated mission is to take the message of the Cross to the world through both media outreach and direct ministry involvement.
CrossWay Missions lists its contact address in Wabash, Indiana, and its ministry has included work in the United States, Marsh Harbour in Abaco, Bahamas, Haiti, Liberia, and worldwide online audiences. The organization’s website also describes relationships with Restoration churches and states that its efforts are church supported. Its ministry emphasis is connected to the Great Commission and the proclamation of Christ and him crucified.
The organization operates through a mix of online preaching media, mission support, missionary relationships, and past “boots on the ground” projects. CrossWay Missions says it is engaged in numerous missions stateside, abroad, and worldwide. Its website highlights Good News Radio, The Preacher Online, Divine Deliberations, Mission Marsh Harbour, and past support for Soul Winners for Christ in Liberia as examples of its mission activity.
Good News Radio is one of CrossWay Missions’ major media outreaches. It is described as a worldwide internet radio station broadcasting sermons 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The ministry features preaching from Restoration Movement preachers and related Christian teachers, and it is intended to make gospel preaching accessible beyond local church settings. The Preacher Online is another outreach, using YouTube and digital media for sermons, biblical teaching, and doctrinal instruction.
CrossWay Missions has also supported field-based work. Mission Marsh Harbour in Abaco, Bahamas, began when David Fincher stayed to help the local church after other missionaries left. The work included preaching, community outreach, baptisms, rededications, and later financial assistance after Hurricane Dorian devastated Marsh Harbour. CrossWay Missions reports raising and delivering funds to help the church rebuild after the hurricane.
The organization’s Liberia connection involved Alfred and Wilhelmina Beyan and Soul Winners for Christ in Liberia. The ministry described work near Monrovia involving rural and urban evangelism, church planting, strengthening congregations, safe-water wells, and Christian education institutions. CrossWay Missions notes that it is no longer directly involved with that mission, but continues to remember the work in prayer.
People can engage with CrossWay Missions by praying, giving financially, subscribing to updates, listening to Good News Radio, watching The Preacher Online, sharing digital teaching resources, volunteering for office help or overseas campaigns, and contacting the organization about mission involvement. Donations may be made online or mailed to the Wabash, Indiana address listed by the ministry.

David’s Well — Organization Profile
David’s Well is a Christian mission organization serving indigenous and rural communities in Panama and neighboring parts of Central America. The ministry describes its purpose as taking the Gospel to native villages, making disciples, establishing congregations, and meeting physical needs through practical community development. Its tagline, “Living Water for the Healing of Nations,” reflects the organization’s combined emphasis on evangelism and service.
David’s Well was founded in Panama in 1987 by Juan Rodriguez from the Dominican Republic and Paul Daniel Crosley from the United States. The ministry’s main headquarters is connected with La Iglesia Cristiana in David, Panama, and its U.S. nonprofit support is connected with Noblesville, Indiana. Its work serves villages and communities across Panama and Costa Rica, especially coastal and mountain areas where churches, schools, health clinics, water systems, and other basic resources are needed.
The mission’s strategy is to address immediate needs while building relationships for long-term spiritual ministry. David’s Well states that villages often face urgent needs related to health, housing, water, and education. As those needs are addressed, ministry workers and volunteers introduce villagers to Jesus, plant seeds of faith, and support the growth of local congregations and leaders.
David’s Well’s ministry areas include fresh water systems, healthy homes, medical clinics, schools, small production centers, sustainable agriculture, church buildings, pastor training, and college student support. Projects have included aqueduct systems, windmills, deep wells, storage tanks, wood homes with metal roofs, school buildings where the Panamanian government provides teachers, medical clinics where volunteer teams offer free care, and agricultural training for rice production and other local needs.
Leadership development has been part of the mission from its early years. David’s Well states that its founders developed Bible Institutes to train Christian leaders, with more than 50 leaders sent to Central America and the Caribbean to preach the gospel, establish congregations, and make disciples. The ministry continues to work with pastors and leaders through Bible teaching, support, prayer, encouragement, and congregational development.
People can engage with David’s Well by praying, giving financially, joining a mission trip, supporting building and community projects, providing teaching or medical help, donating toward student support, or helping churches and teams serve in Panama. Mission teams commonly raise funds for both travel and project materials, and David’s Well uses local support staff to guide teams before and during service in Panama.

Deaf Streetlight is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and serves the Greater Cincinnati / Tri-State area and beyond. The ministry was originally founded in 1968 as The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Institute for Christian Education, commonly known as Deaf Institute. Cecil Bennett founded the organization after he and his wife, Rena, saw the need for their Deaf daughter Cheryl and other Deaf people to connect with the church, the Bible, and a personal relationship with God.
The organization rebranded as Deaf Streetlight after Will Dickmann became director in 2021. The name reflects both a practical and spiritual meaning: Deaf people need light in order to see sign language clearly, and the ministry seeks to be a beacon of hope that guides people toward the Lord. Its work is shaped by the older motto, “Using hands to touch hearts.”
Deaf Streetlight’s four core goals are Go & Meet, Learn & Share, Connect & Support, and Equip & Empower. Through these goals, the ministry works to host and support events, develop relationships, create and share resources, train and equip local churches, remove barriers for Deaf people, and help Deaf people participate and lead within the church. Its work includes advocacy, community connection, family support, and church accessibility.
The ministry’s resources include a resource directory, ASL learning information, state and national resources, local events, interpreting and captioning services, educational resources, religious resources, mental health resources, articles, books, and videos. It also offers a Shared Reading Program developed by Gallaudet University to help parents and caregivers read with Deaf or hard-of-hearing children using American Sign Language, along with summer events that give Deaf children opportunities for social development and ASL practice.
People can engage with Deaf Streetlight by praying, volunteering, becoming a Deaf mentor, helping with events, giving financially, donating goods or services, sharing personal stories, subscribing to the e-newsletter, or contacting the ministry for resources and support. Donations may be made online or by check mailed to the Cincinnati post office box listed by the organization.

Eastern Dominican Christian Mission — Organization Profile
Eastern Dominican Christian Mission (EDCM) is a Christian mission organization serving the eastern Dominican Republic. The mission was established in 2003 with a focus on making disciples and creating self-sufficient congregations through equipping and empowering initiatives. Its ministry is rooted in the Great Commission and the goal of forming disciples into local congregations.
EDCM’s U.S. mailing address is Roanoke, Virginia, and its ministry serves the eastern Dominican Republic, including communities such as Higuey, La Romana, Brisas del Mar, Punta Cana, El Seibo, Lotificación Verón, Otra Banda, and Ana Mulla. The mission works through Dominican and Haitian-led congregations, national pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders who serve communities through preaching, discipleship, local outreach, and practical ministry.
The organization’s stated ministry approach is summarized by the words “Equip” and “Empower.” EDCM plants churches under the name Iglesia Cuerpo de Cristo, the name associated with Christian churches in the Dominican Republic. Each congregation has its own facility and local leadership, while congregations also gather together for joint worship and fellowship. This structure supports local church planting, national leadership, discipleship, and movement toward self-sustaining congregations.
Leadership training is a major part of EDCM’s work. In 2020, the mission launched a two-year Bible seminary program to train leaders within existing churches and equip new workers for church planting. The program reflects EDCM’s commitment to developing Dominican Christian leaders who can teach Scripture, guide congregations, and strengthen ministry in their own communities.

Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home — Organization Profile
Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home in Haifa is a Christian senior care home for elderly believers in Yeshua, Jesus Christ, in Israel. The name “Ebenezer” comes from 1 Samuel 7:12 and reflects the home’s testimony that the Lord has helped and will continue to care for his people. Its ministry focus is providing a safe, loving home where elderly believers’ physical, spiritual, and emotional needs are cared for in a believing environment.
Ebenezer is located in Haifa, Israel, at 41 Meir Rutberg Street. The home serves Israeli citizens in their elderly years, including Jewish, Arab, and other Gentile believers from different backgrounds and languages. Public directory information notes residents with Hebrew, Arabic, English, German, Romanian, Hungarian, Serbian, and other language backgrounds, all united by faith in Christ.
The home was founded in 1976 and has served many elderly believers, including Holocaust survivors. Ebenezer’s materials explain that older believers in Israel may experience loneliness, isolation, or rejection because of their faith in Yeshua, sometimes even within their own families. The home exists to provide a supportive Christian community where residents can live with dignity, fellowship, prayer, worship, and daily encouragement in the Lord.
Ebenezer’s daily life includes prayer, Scripture reading, singing, meals, activities, and shared fellowship. Resident activities include basket weaving, art, embroidery, rug weaving, trips, physical therapy, concerts, and other community experiences. The home also emphasizes the spiritual calling of older believers, encouraging residents to continue serving through prayer for one another, the staff, the next generation, and the wider body of believers.
The home operates as a nonprofit and relies on donations and partner organizations because many residents cannot cover the full cost of care. IsraelGives states that Ebenezer provides physical, health, social, and spiritual care in accordance with Ministry of Welfare requirements. New resident inquiries are available for people living in Israel, with applications reviewed according to resident criteria and care needs.
People can engage with Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home by praying for residents and staff, giving financially through the home’s donation pages and partner organizations, subscribing to updates, contacting the home, arranging a visit by appointment, or volunteering. Volunteer opportunities are available for adults ages 18–35 who want to serve elderly believers through practical support, nurses’ aide help, general assistance, and maintenance.

Emmaus Road International — Organization Profile
Emmaus Road International (ERI) is a Christian missions education and resource ministry focused on helping churches, mission agencies, colleges, and mission teams serve well in cross-cultural ministry. The organization describes itself as a “come alongside” ministry that provides resources to ignite, develop, and expand involvement in cross-cultural mission. Its work centers on mobilizing churches, training goers and senders, and networking churches and teams with ministries requesting help.
Emmaus Road International is based in San Diego, California, with ERI Resources connected through Boulder City, Nevada. Its resources and ministry relationships serve churches, agencies, colleges, missionaries, mission teams, and cross-cultural workers around the world. ERI was birthed on February 28, 1983, when Neal Pirolo and several ministry friends sensed a calling to continue missions education through an independent ministry serving many churches globally.
ERI’s core focus is missions preparation, missionary care, cross-cultural training, sending-team development, reentry support, and practical mission education. Rather than asking people to “join” the organization, ERI provides books, seminars, media resources, and training tools that churches and ministries can use in their own contexts. This allows local congregations, sending churches, and mission organizations to better support missionaries before they go, while they are on the field, and when they return.
The ministry is widely associated with resources such as Serving as Senders Today, The Reentry Team, I Think God Wants Me to be a Missionary, Internationals Who Live Among Us, Prepare For Battle!, Partners in the Gospel, and Keeping in Touch. These materials address the practical and spiritual responsibilities of sending churches, missionary support teams, prayer partners, financial partners, communication partners, logistics helpers, and reentry caregivers.
ERI also offers seminars and training experiences. Seminar topics include Serving as Senders, Solutions to Culture Stress, Internationals Among Us, What’s the Big Deal? They’re Just Coming Home!, For Those Who Go, Prepare for Battle!, Steps to the Field, Eight Possible Next Steps, Personal Involvement in Cross-Cultural Ministry, and Nothing Good Just Happens. The ACTS training emphasis and related media resources help prepare believers for cross-cultural service with humility, cultural understanding, and long-term faithfulness.
People can engage with Emmaus Road International by using its books and digital resources, inviting a seminar presenter, accessing the free media library, translating ERI resources, supporting orphan or refugee sponsorship opportunities, participating in ministry trips, ordering resources through ERI Resources, praying for the ministry, or giving financially. Contact is available through both the San Diego ministry office and ERI Resources in Boulder City.

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

Every 4 Seconds — Organization Profile
Every 4 Seconds is a Christian mission initiative focused on supporting gospel work among unreached communities in South Asia. The organization describes its central concern in its name: the belief that, in India, people are entering eternity without knowing Jesus Christ. Its stated response is to resource church planting through local leaders rather than sending outside workers into the field.
The ministry is sponsored by The Crossing Church in Quincy, Illinois, where donations are processed through The Crossing Church, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every 4 Seconds identifies its work as equipping disciplemaking church planters in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and other areas of South Asia. Its public materials emphasize that many of the leaders it supports serve in settings where names, faces, and exact locations are withheld for safety.
Every 4 Seconds serves local church-planting leaders who already live in the communities they are trying to reach. The organization says this model allows workers to operate across languages, cultures, villages, cities, and regions that outside missionaries may not be able to enter easily. Its stated field includes India as the primary focus, along with work in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. The ministry reports support for 26 leaders active across 19 states and regions.
The organization’s strategy centers on multiplying disciples who plant churches that multiply again. Its supported leaders share the gospel, train believers, baptize new followers, and form house churches that can reproduce in other communities. Every 4 Seconds says its partners often work in remote tribal villages, crowded cities, hostile regions, and forgotten communities. The ministry describes church planting as a process of local believers being trained over time and then beginning churches in their own homes and communities.
Every 4 Seconds also emphasizes careful reporting. Its public “How We Count” materials say the organization tracks gospel conversations, confessions of faith, baptisms, new groups, churches, and generational multiplication. It says figures are drawn from supported leaders’ own reporting rather than borrowed from other organizations, and that it would rather understate than overstate results. The ministry gives particular attention to baptisms because public identification with Christ can carry personal risk in some places where its partners serve.
People can engage with Every 4 Seconds by giving one-time or recurring gifts, praying for local believers, following the ministry’s updates, and sharing the mission with others. Donations are made through the organization’s website and processed through The Crossing Church. Gifts help provide training, resources, practical support, Bibles, support for persecuted pastors, and assistance for church plants in unreached communities.

Eye Doc in a Box — Organization Profile
Eye Doc in a Box is a Christian medical missions organization that equips mission teams to provide basic vision care in places where access to professional eye services is limited. The ministry describes its mission as empowering individuals with the skills and tools needed to provide quality eye care in challenging third-world environments while also offering spiritual aid and sharing the love of Christ.
The organization’s core focus is training laypeople and mission teams to conduct eye clinics using the Eye Doc in a Box method of vision testing. Its model is designed for short-term missions and developing-country contexts, where teams may need a practical way to identify whether people need reading glasses, distance glasses, or other basic support. Eye Doc in a Box states that its broader vision is for vision testing to become a regular part of Christian mission trips.
Eye Doc in a Box is publicly connected with Watkinsville, Georgia, through its mailing address, and its work is directed toward developing countries worldwide. The organization serves churches, mission teams, and communities where people may lack access to eyeglasses and routine vision screening. Its materials also reference global outreach, underserved communities, and medical mission settings where vision care can open doors for both practical service and spiritual encouragement.
The ministry operates through training seminars, refraction kits, and support materials. Its FAQ describes Eye Doc in a Box as an intensive one-day medical missions seminar lasting eight hours. Its services page says teams may request on-site or Zoom training, receive refraction kits after completing training, and purchase material kits that include a mix of eyeglasses and supplies for mission use. The organization emphasizes that its training is focused on the limited scope of eye care typically provided on mission trips, such as prescribing glasses and treating acute infections, rather than comprehensive eye examinations.
A distinctive part of the organization’s approach is combining physical vision care with spiritual support. Eye Doc in a Box describes its services as including training seminars, eye clinics, and spiritual support, with prayer, fellowship, and gospel-centered ministry alongside practical eye care. The organization also points to Dr. David Curtis’ extensive medical mission experience as part of the background for its training model.
People can engage with Eye Doc in a Box by requesting training, refraction kits, material kits, sunglass kits, or supply kits through its contact page. The organization asks mission teams to provide details such as mission trip dates, number of people needing training, and the number of kits needed. Supporters can also give online, donate by mail, or request information about Zelle giving through the contact page.

Fellowship of Associates of Medical Evangelism (FAME) — Organization Profile
The Fellowship of Associates of Medical Evangelism (FAME) is a Christian missions organization that describes its work as sending help and hope in the name of Christ to the world through medical evangelism. Founded in 1970, FAME partners with missionaries and indigenous churches to connect compassionate healthcare with gospel ministry, especially among unreached and underserved communities.
FAME’s headquarters and primary operations are based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and its partnerships support medical evangelism in countries around the world. Through these partnerships, FAME’s goal is not only to deliver short-term relief, but to strengthen sustainable, locally led ministry where people have limited access to healthcare and consistent gospel witness.
FAME organizes its work around clear lanes of ministry that donors, churches, and volunteers can understand and support. One major focus is mobilizing short-term mission trips that include both medical and non-medical participants. Teams serve alongside host partners according to local needs—often providing basic clinical care, health education, and encouragement to ongoing ministry efforts. FAME also provides practical guidance for participation, including an application process and trip logistics.
Another key area is shipping medicines and medical supplies to strengthen partner clinics, hospitals, and community health efforts. From its Indianapolis facility, FAME receives donated medical supplies and equipment and helps route them to partners who can use them effectively. FAME also highlights its “Cardboard Pharmacy” approach, inviting groups to collect needed over-the-counter medicines that can be carried to the field through short-term teams to address urgent needs quickly.
In addition to trips and shipping, FAME supports sustainable healthcare projects such as grants for clinics, hospitals, and medical vehicles, and it offers FAME Scholarships to help nationals pursue medical training in their own countries and languages. These scholarships are designed to accelerate local capacity for long-term service, with students typically recommended by partner ministries and expected to serve alongside those partners after graduation. Together, these approaches reflect FAME’s emphasis on practical care that supports ongoing ministry and local leadership.
People can engage with FAME in several ways: volunteering at the Indianapolis warehouse, collecting supplies, participating in a short-term trip, or giving toward ongoing projects and partner needs. FAME also shares organizational financial information and maintains accountability through recognized nonprofit standards. For those seeking a focused way to support broader, flexible needs, FAME highlights giving options such as designated project support and general funds used for pressing ministry priorities.

Its website invites supporters to “stand with Ukraine” by helping provide food, rebuild homes, and run programs intended to bring practical help and long-term hope.

Fight For Freedom Ukraine serves communities in Ukraine, with its site identifying work connected to nine cities and international partnership support.

A public update about the “Unbreakable Generation” youth forum describes young people presenting ideas for improving Irpin, voting on projects, and being encouraged to take responsibility for their city’s future.
A distinctive part of Fight For Freedom Ukraine’s approach is combining practical relief with local leadership development and Christian formation. The organization’s volunteer page invites people to contact the team about service opportunities and includes volunteer reflections about serving Ukrainians in difficult situations, learning about trauma, supporting the recovery of Ukraine, and putting Christian love into practice. This gives the ministry both a humanitarian and discipleship-focused emphasis.

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

The organization also identifies connections to Africa through an FMM affiliate page and provides Spanish resources for broader access.
FMM operates through gender-specific recovery groups, spouse betrayal trauma groups, educational workshops, coaching, mentoring, and online training. Its support groups use the L.I.F.E. Recovery Model and Core Issue Addiction Recovery methodology to address the wounds and false beliefs that can drive addictive behavior. The organization states that its online groups provide a safe environment where participants can move out of shame and isolation into community, accountability, prayer support, and healthy intimacy skills.
A distinctive part of Forgiven Much Ministries’ approach is training and mobilizing Christians to plant and sustain safe, core issue recovery support groups within the church. Its Associate Study Certificate is described as an entry point for people who want to understand trauma-informed Core Issue Addiction Recovery methodology and gain practical help for mentoring or starting a support group. FMM also works alongside anti-human-trafficking efforts through demand reduction initiatives that address the demand for commercial sex.
People can engage with Forgiven Much Ministries by joining a men’s, women’s, or spouses’ recovery group, attending an online workshop, enrolling in training, requesting coaching, using recovery resources, subscribing to ministry updates, praying for the ministry, or giving financially. The organization invites people who need help, want to book an event, or have questions to contact the ministry directly by email.
