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.

Coaching Mission International — Organization Profile
Coaching Mission International (CMI) is a Christian coaching and training ministry that serves global mission workers and mission organizations. Its stated mission is through coaching and training, CMI empowers global mission workers and organizations for greater Kingdom impact. The organization focuses on helping missionaries, cross-cultural workers, ministry leaders, and organizations gain support, clarity, resilience, and practical skills for sustainable ministry.
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. That initial work led to a wider vision for making coaching available to thousands of field staff, and Coaching Mission International was incorporated in 2006. Since then, CMI has trained more than 500 mission leaders serving in 54 countries and has provided more than 65,000 hours of coaching to more than 4,100 mission workers.
The organization’s core focus is developing global workers to have transformative and sustainable impact. CMI describes coaching as a way to help workers process challenges, transitions, calling, leadership questions, cultural adjustment, team dynamics, purpose, and spiritual formation. Its vision is to see mission workers strengthened, encouraged, and equipped to serve well and thrive.
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 — Organization Profile
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.

Con Mis Manos — Organization Profile
Con Mis Manos Deaf Ministry is a non-denominational Christian nonprofit serving Deaf people and their families in northeastern Mexico. The name means “With My Hands,” and the ministry focuses on education, evangelism, vocational training, and practical support for Deaf children, teens, and adults. Its vision is that Deaf people and their families will experience the truth of God’s love and understand his gift of salvation.
Con Mis Manos is based in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, just across the border from Brownsville, Texas. Its U.S. mailing address is in Brownsville, and the ministry operates under the financial guidance of Workers for Mexico Mission. The ministry serves Deaf individuals and families in northeastern Mexico, especially in the Matamoros border region where public education, medical access, legal services, and community support for Deaf people may be limited.
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. Its FAQ materials note that Matamoros has an estimated 1,800 to 2,000 Deaf individuals with limited public education or opportunities.
Con Mis Manos operates through several connected ministry areas. It provides Deaf-led church services, discipleship training, evangelistic outreach, Mexican Sign Language-based education, and vocational training. Its programs are designed for Deaf individuals of all ages, and the ministry states that it welcomes children, teens, and adults into its activities because every person has value, purpose, and the right to learn.
The ministry also provides support services for Deaf individuals and their families. These include a medical clinic, clothing pantry, food pantry, counseling, legal advocacy, and safe housing for those in need. Vocational training and practical workshops help Deaf adults develop skills for employment and community participation. Con Mis Manos also uses media outreach, including the short film project Te Estoy Hablando, to highlight the isolation experienced by Deaf children, teens, and adults and to encourage churches to serve alongside Deaf Christians.
People can engage with Con Mis Manos by praying, giving financially, sponsoring a student, sponsoring a teacher, following updates, contacting the ministry, or serving through visiting teams and work projects. The ministry is donation-based, receives no government aid from the United States or Mexico, and directs designated gifts to field ministry through Workers for Mexico Mission.

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.

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.

It exists to connect, equip, and support people, families, and churches in bringing the gospel to the Deaf community.
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.

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

Eastern 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.
EDCM also operates Kingdom Businesses and community ministries that support both practical needs and church outreach. These include Brisas del Mar Medical Clinic, Colegio Color Esperanza in Punta Cana, and Agua Brisas del Mar. The medical clinic provides care and medicine in a rural area of La Romana while also hosting Bible studies. The school offers Christian education in the Village of Hope neighborhood, and the water filtration plant provides safe drinking water while building trust and relationships in the community.
People can engage with Eastern Dominican Christian Mission by praying, giving financially, subscribing to ministry updates, supporting a church plant, partnering with leadership training, or joining a short-term mission team. Short-term mission trips partner with local Dominican congregations through VBS, women’s and men’s outreach events, youth activities, home visits, hospital visitation, concerts, youth camps, and other spiritually focused service opportunities.

EEM traces its beginnings to 1961, when missionary couples began taking God’s Word to people living under Soviet rule. In those decades, Bible access was often restricted, and EEM’s work included underground printing and smuggling efforts until political barriers shifted in 1989.

Today, EEM states that it exists to place God’s Word into the hands of everyone who requests it, free of charge. Through a network of thousands of trusted partners, EEM supplies Scripture to a wide range of settings—local churches and ministries, public schools and universities, hospitals, prisons, youth camps, orphanages, and other community institutions. The organization also emphasizes that it works in dozens of languages so people can read the Bible in their heart language.
A distinctive in EEM’s operating model is its emphasis on collaboration with in-region partners and logistics that enable wide distribution. EEM describes publishing and printing Bibles and Bible-based materials and distributing them through partner organizations, with an added focus on printing locally where possible as part of its strategy. This model is designed to support reliable delivery while aligning distribution with on-the-ground ministry relationships.
EEM invites supporters to participate through prayer, giving, and ongoing engagement with the mission. For recurring support, EEM offers the Hope Line Community, a monthly donor community that supports continued Bible distribution. EEM also highlights focused initiatives such as Bibles for Kids and resource projects like Envisioning Truth 499, along with regular impact reporting and media updates to help supporters understand where and how materials are being shared.
