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

Shepherds Global Classroom — Organization Profile
Shepherds Global Classroom, also known as SGC, is a Christian training ministry that provides free Christ-centered theological curriculum for emerging pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders around the world. Its motto is “Christ-centered. Training. Everywhere.” The ministry exists to equip the body of Christ by providing curriculum for leaders who may not have access to formal theological education.
The organization is connected with Cincinnati, Ohio, and serves Christian leaders in more than 100 countries through online courses, downloadable curriculum, translations, audio resources, mobile app access, and training partnerships. SGC’s materials are especially designed for places where pastors and church leaders are under-resourced but eager for biblical and theological training.
Shepherds Global Classroom began in 2012 after founder Tim Keep and other missionary trainers taught pastors and lay leaders in East Africa. The experience revealed a need for theological resources that were robust, simple, reproducible, and adaptable to local settings. SGC developed to meet that need by creating curriculum that local leaders can use in homes, churches, cafés, refugee camps, Bible schools, seminaries, and informal classrooms.
The ministry’s curriculum includes 20 foundational courses for a two- to three-year non-formal theological training program. Course areas include Doctrinal Foundations, Bible Survey, Evangelism and Discipleship, Christian Leadership, Church History, and SGC Resources. Courses include topics such as Christian Beliefs, Romans, Eschatology, Exploring the Old Testament, Exploring the New Testament, Biblical Evangelism and Discipleship, Spiritual Formation, Ministry Leadership, The Life and Ministry of Jesus, Principles of Communication, Introduction to Christian Worship, and Survey of Church History.
A major distinctive of Shepherds Global Classroom is its emphasis on free access and broad translation. The curriculum is available digitally at no cost, and the ministry allows printing and distribution under its stated guidelines. SGC makes courses available in more than 30 languages, including English, French, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, Portuguese, Thai, Kiswahili, Nepali, Hindi, Romanian, Ukrainian, Urdu, Amharic, Turkish, Haitian Creole, Polish, and others.
People can engage with Shepherds Global Classroom by downloading courses, using the mobile app, launching a local classroom, requesting a Memorandum of Understanding for group printing and distribution, subscribing to updates, donating, or connecting with the ministry about training partnerships. Its distinct contribution is free, reproducible theological curriculum that helps local Christian leaders establish indigenous, informal, and non-formal Bible training programs worldwide.

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

Show-Me Christian Youth Home — Organization Profile
Show-Me Christian Youth Home is a Christian residential child-care ministry that is compelled by Christ to rescue and restore young lives. Since 1967, Show-Me has provided safe, stable, loving homes and families for children and youth facing difficult circumstances in their current home environments. Its care is designed to help each child grow physically, academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
The ministry is based in La Monte, Missouri, with additional locations in Barnett, Galt, and Mayview, Missouri. Show-Me serves children and families in Missouri and surrounding communities, offering an alternative to state-based foster care for children who need a stable family setting. Boys, girls, and sibling groups may be considered for placement when the ministry determines it can provide a safe and appropriate environment.
Show-Me’s residential model is built around traditional family settings with trained houseparents and six to eight children living as siblings in each home. Children participate in daily family life, learn responsibility through household contributions, and benefit from consistent structure, spiritual guidance, healthy role models, and a Christ-centered neighborhood of support. The ministry also provides professional counseling to help children process trauma, overwhelming emotions, and life challenges.
Education and life preparation are important parts of Show-Me’s care. The ministry offers individualized education through its private Christian school and provides leadership and transition programs. Leadership U helps students develop service, knowledge, confidence, and wisdom through hands-on animal care, horsemanship, Scripture memory, apologetics, mentoring, and public-speaking opportunities. Path to Purpose helps older students prepare for adulthood through career exploration, job shadowing, life skills, money management, driver’s education, mentorship, and transition support.
Show-Me also works with parents, guardians, relatives, volunteers, churches, and donors. The ministry does not take legal custody of children; instead, it uses a temporary delegation of powers agreement with the parent or guardian so the child can receive care while healthy family relationships and reunification possibilities remain part of the process. Care is offered at no required cost to families because expenses are privately funded by donors.
People can engage with Show-Me Christian Youth Home by praying, giving, volunteering, touring the ministry, helping with current needs, supporting family care, participating in events, or beginning a placement conversation for a child in need. Its distinct contribution is donor-supported, Christ-centered residential care that combines family homes, counseling, individualized education, leadership development, and transition support for vulnerable children and youth.

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

SonLight Power — Organization Profile
SonLight Power is a Christian nonprofit solar energy ministry that equips people living in energy poverty with the love of Jesus and solar power for transformative, lasting impact. The ministry describes its work as “solar energy for good,” using renewable power as a practical way to serve vulnerable children, families, churches, schools, medical clinics, orphanages, community centers, and communities that lack reliable electricity.
The organization is based in Milford, Ohio, near Cincinnati, and serves communities in Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean, the United States, and other regions affected by energy poverty. SonLight Power states that it has equipped communities in 19 countries, completed more than 280 solar projects worldwide, and empowered an estimated 1 million lives through solar energy partnerships.
SonLight Power designs and builds solar energy systems for community venues such as schools, medical clinics, orphanages, community centers, churches, and water-pumping stations. These projects often bring electricity to places where reliable power has been unavailable or unaffordable. The ministry connects solar power with access to education, wellness, clean water, economic development, emergency preparedness, and renewed hope.
The ministry’s approach is designed to build local capacity rather than dependency. SonLight Power uses a blend of in-country and U.S.-based volunteers, experienced solar installers, engineers, mission partners, and community members. Its teams install systems while also training residents and partner organizations to understand, maintain, and care for the systems over time. This model reflects the ministry’s emphasis on sustainable energy solutions, practical training, and long-term community empowerment.
SonLight Power also multiplies its impact by equipping other mission organizations. Through project development, consulting, mission teams, Solar School, partnerships, and capacity-building efforts, the ministry helps churches, nonprofits, and mission agencies evaluate and implement solar solutions for their own work. Its experience includes more than 20 years of service and more than 260 designed projects, with many located in Latin America and Africa.
People can engage with SonLight Power by praying, giving, joining a mission trip, sponsoring a project, attending Solar School, volunteering, interning, subscribing to updates, or contacting the team about solar for a mission, church, school, or community project. Its distinct contribution is combining Christian witness, renewable energy expertise, mission partnerships, volunteer mobilization, and local training to help communities move from energy poverty toward sustainable power and hope.

SonSet Solutions supports well over 100 ministry organizations each year, helping them use practical technology to communicate the Gospel, strengthen ministry operations, and reach people in remote or difficult-to-access locations.
SonSet Solutions traces its history to the HCJB World Radio Engineering Center, established in Elkhart in 1986. That engineering work grew out of earlier shortwave radio efforts connected to HCJB World Radio and later expanded into community radio, fixed-tuned solar radio receivers, remote monitoring systems, solar ministry tools, power protection, media, and other technology services. In January 2015, the HCJB Global Technology Center began operating independently as SonSet Solutions.

Radio broadcast services include consultation, equipment, installation, training, and ongoing technical support for Christian radio partners. SonSet® radios are fixed-tuned, solar-powered receivers used by partner ministries in places where electricity and media access may be limited.
SonSet Solutions also helps ministries with broader technical needs. Its Solar Ministry Toolkit provides rugged devices for lighting, charging USB devices, and sharing media in remote areas. Its power protection solutions help protect sensitive equipment from damaging electrical fluctuations common in many developing regions. The ministry also offers technical assistance when partners face problems that can be solved through engineering, communications, electronics, software, or practical design.
People can engage with SonSet Solutions by giving, praying, serving, applying for internships, joining short-term discovery opportunities, exploring service roles, subscribing to updates, or contacting the ministry about a technical challenge. Its distinct contribution is using engineering, media, radio, solar power, remote monitoring, and practical technology to help global ministry partners overcome barriers to Gospel communication and community service.

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

Rather than presenting itself as a single-program organization, SAEM describes a support role that includes opening new areas, using relationships and resources to assist others, and working with ministry partners as they grow, learn, and share.
SAEM’s benevolence ministry emphasizes community outreach as a form of practical evangelism. The organization says benevolence helps churches demonstrate care for people in visible ways while also teaching the church to care for and love others. SAEM helps others plan and run community outreach events with the purpose of doing good in local communities and mobilizing the church for service.
The ministry serves churches, ministers, missionaries, and Spanish-speaking communities through printed resources, mission support, and outreach planning. Its public information identifies Horizon City, Texas, and the El Paso border-region context as its base of operations, while its Spanish-language resources and evangelistic materials are designed for broader use among Spanish-speaking ministry contexts. Public directory information also describes SAEM’s literature work as reaching Spanish-speaking countries through free distribution of evangelistic literature, Bibles, New Testaments, and teaching materials.
People can engage SAEM by contacting the ministry, using its printed gospel resources, requesting ministry-related print services, praying for its work, or giving financially through the donation link provided on its website. Churches and ministry partners may also connect with SAEM regarding missions, benevolence projects, and community outreach events.

Tavriski Christian Institute (TCI) — Organization Profile
Tavriski Christian Institute, commonly known as TCI, is a Christian educational and mission-training organization connected with Ukraine and ministry across the former Soviet Union. Partner churches and mission organizations describe TCI as an evangelical institution focused on continuing biblical education, ministry preparation, and leadership training. The organization’s correct website is listed publicly as mission.org.ua.
TCI’s work centers on training ministers, missionaries, church planters, pastors, evangelists, and local Christian leaders for long-term service. Partner descriptions identify TCI as a ministry that provides certificate and degree programs, including training designed for students who cannot relocate for a traditional four-year program. Its educational work is practical in focus, preparing leaders who can serve churches, guide new ministries, and strengthen Christian witness in difficult contexts.
The organization serves students and ministry leaders connected with Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. Partner updates describe TCI’s ministry as extending into former Soviet Union countries and several Central Asian contexts where Christianity faces restrictions. Public partner information specifically names Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Georgia among regions connected with TCI’s training and ministry reach.
TCI’s educational approach includes structured biblical training, pastoral preparation, church-planting formation, youth ministry training, and ongoing mentoring. One partner description identifies a Certificate Youth Course for men and women preparing to work with teens and young adults, along with a Certificate Pastor Training Program made up of eight courses over two years for pastors, evangelists, and local missionaries. Other partner descriptions emphasize TCI’s continuing support of leaders after training through coaching and ministry relationships.
The war in Ukraine has deeply affected TCI’s work. Partner updates report that in March 2022, TCI’s property in eastern Ukraine was seized by Russian troops, with facilities including offices, dormitories, and a large library destroyed or lost. After that disruption, TCI relocated its operations and resumed training students while also taking part in humanitarian efforts for war-affected communities. Updates in 2025 reported that TCI had moved operations to a more permanent facility in Kyiv and continued preparing graduates for ministry.
People can engage TCI by praying for its students, teachers, and ministry partners; supporting theological education in Ukraine and Central Asia; connecting through the organization’s website; or giving through partner organizations that publicly support TCI’s work. Churches interested in global missions, leadership development, and ministry training in restricted or underserved regions may find TCI’s work connected to long-term pastoral preparation, church planting, youth ministry, and humanitarian service.

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

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

Team Expansion — Organization Profile
Team Expansion is a Christian missions agency focused on multiplying disciples and churches among unreached peoples. The organization is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, at Emerald Hills—its 61-acre campus designed for prayer, retreat, and learning. Team Expansion’s stated vision is “to see obedient disciples in every people and place,” and its work centers on helping followers of Jesus participate in the Great Commission through practical pathways for going, sending, and praying.
Team Expansion describes its ministry as being “born out of extraordinary prayer,” and that emphasis remains central through its Prayer Force and prayer resources. The organization’s core ministry aim is reaching unreached populations (defined on their site as 5% or less evangelical) through evangelism, church planting, and disciple-making movements. Team Expansion also notes a commitment to working in teams, coaching, and accountability, including a stated expectation that each worker provides supporters with a monthly report on progress, time, and money.
A distinctive part of Team Expansion’s work is training. Through its “Strategies & Training” approach, Team Expansion equips individuals and churches with tools for disciple-making in a variety of contexts—locally and globally. Examples highlighted by the ministry include disciple-making movement training (including Jonathan Training), digital strategies that use online platforms to connect spiritually curious people with local believers, marketplace ministry that integrates vocation with mission, and Community Health Evangelism (CHE) as a holistic approach that addresses physical, social, and spiritual needs through community-led solutions.
Team Expansion also provides multiple on-ramps for engagement, especially for those exploring cross-cultural ministry. Their “Find Your Mission” pathways include full-time missions, internships (Pathways), the Quest missions apprenticeship, short-term trips, and other roles that help prospective workers take next steps with guidance and preparation. The organization’s training and support structure is designed to help workers thrive long-term and to serve alongside local believers in places where access to the gospel is limited.
In its public history overview, Team Expansion traces its beginnings to a 1978 prayer meeting and the sending of its first team to Uruguay in 1982. The organization reports that it has sent more than 1,000 workers to 70+ fields, including creative-access locations. That global scope reflects Team Expansion’s commitment to supporting disciple-makers where traditional ministry access may be limited, while also encouraging churches and individuals to participate through prayer, giving, and sending.
People can engage with Team Expansion by joining the Prayer Force, giving through the general Impact Fund or toward specific workers and projects, and exploring opportunities to serve. Churches can also connect through partnership and coaching options. For those looking for a clear next step, Team Expansion emphasizes starting a conversation—learning what roles and training may fit, and then moving forward with the support, coaching, and accountability the agency provides.

TEAM, formally The Evangelical Alliance Mission, is a global Christian missions organization that partners with churches to send workers into cross-cultural ministry. The organization states that it exists to partner with the global Church in sending disciples who make disciples and establish missional churches for the glory of God. TEAM’s public materials describe its work as focused on making disciples in hard-to-reach places while supporting missionaries, sending churches, prayer partners, and donors.
TEAM is headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, with mailing offices in Wheaton, Illinois, and a Canada office in Calgary, Alberta. Its ministry scope is international, with TEAM reporting workers in 40+ countries and more than 130 years of continuous missionary sending. The organization serves churches, missionaries, ministry candidates, and communities across many regions through evangelism, discipleship, church planting, education, medical ministry, community development, international church ministry, and member care.
The core of TEAM’s strategy is sending and supporting workers who serve alongside the global Church. TEAM emphasizes that missionary roles are not one-size-fits-all. Its opportunity listings include categories such as Unreached People Groups, Education Ministries, Medical Ministries, Church Planting & Evangelism, International Church Ministries, and TEAMtrek short-term missions. The organization also offers short-term, mid-term, and long-term service pathways for people exploring cross-cultural ministry.
TEAM’s process includes personal missions coaching, application guidance, training, member care, language and cultural preparation, and on-field support. Public materials describe missions coaches who help candidates explore their gifts, interests, and possible ministry settings. TEAM also describes individualized care for missionaries, including pre-departure mentoring, on-field language and cultural education, financial guidance, and support for workers and their families.
A distinctive part of TEAM’s approach is working through local church partnership while keeping church ministry central to every missionary role. TEAM states that wherever its workers serve, the goal is connected to gospel witness and the formation or strengthening of communities of believers. This church-centered approach may take place through traditional pastoral ministry, medical work, education, community development, business, counseling, or other professional and service roles.
People can engage TEAM by applying to serve, connecting with a missions coach, exploring TEAMtrek or other mission opportunities, praying for global workers, supporting missionaries and ministry projects, giving to TEAM, or using TEAM’s church resources to strengthen missions engagement. Churches can also partner with TEAM to mobilize, send, care for, and support disciples who serve in global mission contexts.

The ministry’s stated purpose is to empower and equip women with the life-giving truth of God’s Word so they may break the chains of false teaching and embrace abundant freedom in Christ through absolute surrender to His Lordship.
The ministry serves Jesus-loving women seeking a more intimate walk with Christ through Bible-centered teaching and study resources. Its public materials emphasize women’s spiritual formation through Scripture, surrender, identity in Christ, and freedom from false teaching. The organization’s stated audience is women, including individuals, small groups, and women’s ministry settings that use Bible studies or invite teaching for events.
The Radical Freedom Movement operates primarily through written Bible study resources, online teaching content, blog posts, and speaking ministry. Its website presents the theme “Radical Freedom through Radical Surrender,” with goals that include calling women to abandon false teaching, cling to God’s Word alone, and return to total surrender to Christ’s Lordship. The ministry frames freedom not as self-direction, but as a result of yielding control to Christ and allowing Scripture to shape belief and practice.
A central resource connected with the ministry is Through the Savior’s Eyes, a Bible study series by Shawna Tinch. The first volume is described as a study designed to help readers discover the biblical truth of who they are in Christ, who God created them to become, and the meaning and purpose that gives to life. The ministry’s book page also lists Through the Savior’s Eyes Volume 2 as available through The Christian Restoration Association bookstore.
The ministry is led by Shawna Tinch, who is identified publicly as Founder and Executive Director. Her ministry background includes decades of writing and teaching women’s Bible studies, public speaking for women’s events, and coaching discipling relationships that encourage older women to teach younger women in the Lord. Her biography also notes study through Kentucky Christian University and Summit Theological Seminary, along with long-term connection to the Restoration Movement.
People can engage The Radical Freedom Movement by using its Bible study resources, reading its blog, subscribing to its mailing list, inviting Shawna Tinch for women’s public speaking events, contacting the ministry through its website, praying for the work, or supporting the ministry financially through its listed PayPal and Venmo giving options. Churches and women’s ministry leaders can also connect with the organization for teaching that focuses on Scripture, surrender, identity in Christ, and faithful discipleship.

The organization’s core focus is equipping churches and global workers with practical tools for sustainable mission service. Its Orient Pre-Field Training prepares cross-cultural workers to adapt to culture, work well with others, manage stress, understand team dynamics, maintain spiritual vitality, and thrive on the field. The training includes classroom instruction, group discussion, and experiential learning, including a wilderness component through a partnership with Discovery Ministries in Eminence, Missouri.
TRAIN also provides Abide Debriefing for missionaries and families who need space to process field experiences. These group debriefings and retreats help adults and children reflect on gains, losses, expectations, stress, and transition while connecting with other cross-cultural workers. The organization offers stateside debriefing as well as Abide Abroad, giving missionaries structured support when returning, transitioning, or serving during high-stress seasons.
For churches, TRAIN offers Envision Church Missions Consulting, a process designed to help congregations clarify missions vision, evaluate strategy, strengthen global outreach, and care well for workers they send and support.

Training Tomorrow’s Leaders, often abbreviated T.T.L., is a 501(c)(3) Christian missions organization registered in the United States. The ministry exists to facilitate the planting of new churches in western Africa by financially supporting indigenous church planters, training indigenous church planters, and facilitating projects that enable new churches to be planted. Its public materials describe the work as “Expanding the Kingdom together” through church planting and missions in West Africa.
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders is based in McConnelsville, Ohio, and its ministry work is focused in northern Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso. The organization serves unreached people groups, local churches, indigenous church planters, pastors, evangelists, lay leaders, children, and communities in areas where gospel access and basic social resources may be limited. The ministry states that it works among unreached people groups, including groups in Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso.
The organization’s core ministry is church planting among unreached people groups through trained indigenous leaders. T.T.L. reports that it has planted churches in multiple regions of Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso and that its workers include college-trained church planters, college-trained preachers, and lay helpers. Its history traces the work to 1991, when the first church planter was sent out after training and financial support through partner churches.
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders also emphasizes training and discipleship for pastors, evangelists, church planters, lay leaders, and helpers. The ministry organizes seminars and provides training in both literary and non-literary methods of evangelism and discipleship. Because some communities include high levels of illiteracy, T.T.L. uses oral methods to help communicate the gospel and disciple believers. The organization also identifies Charis School of the Bible and Missions as part of its effort to develop future church planters and missionaries.
Beyond church planting and training, T.T.L. works through community development and children’s ministry. Its public materials describe assistance with school fees, medical costs, small-business grants, agricultural projects, schools, clothing, and wells for safe drinking water. The ministry also trains children’s ministry leaders, organizes Vacation Bible School programs, provides materials for children’s ministry, and starts Christian schools in West African communities with the aim of raising students who can serve their communities.
People can engage Training Tomorrow’s Leaders by praying, giving, volunteering, fundraising, contacting the ministry, or helping share its work with churches and families. The organization states that it depends on partnership to support church planters, training, community development, and children’s ministry efforts. Supporters can give through the ministry’s website or contact T.T.L. directly to learn about volunteer opportunities, events, and ways to help expand the work.
