The organization’s core focus is equipping churches, women, families, youth, and individual believers to share Jesus across cultures, faiths, and everyday relationships. iHOPE Ministries works especially in the discipleship gap where many Christians want to share their faith but feel unprepared to engage neighbors from different religious or cultural backgrounds.

iHOPE Ministries — Organization Profile
iHOPE Ministries is a Christian nonprofit with mailing operations in Garland, Texas. The organization exists to ignite and equip believers and churches to boldly reveal Christ across faiths. Its public vision is a movement of believers revealing Christ to the world, with a focus on helping everyday Christians share Jesus with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
The organization’s core focus is equipping churches, women, families, youth, and individual believers to share Jesus across cultures, faiths, and everyday relationships. iHOPE Ministries works especially in the discipleship gap where many Christians want to share their faith but feel unprepared to engage neighbors from different religious or cultural backgrounds. Its approach emphasizes Scripture-rooted discipleship, Spirit-led witness, relational courage, and practical training.
iHOPE Ministries serves believers and churches across North America, while focusing on gospel witness among people from least-reached nations who now live in local communities as refugees, immigrants, international students, neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and friends. Its public materials name Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and other-faith neighbors as part of the ministry context it helps Christians engage with wisdom and love.
The organization operates through discipleship pathways, books, podcasts, church resources, speaking, online learning, and training experiences. Its ETHNOS Course™ is a discipleship pathway that helps individuals, small groups, youth, outreach teams, and churches share Jesus across cultures and faiths. The course uses short teaching videos, Scripture, real-life stories, practical application, group discussion, and action steps to help participants move from fear and uncertainty toward faithful witness.
A distinctive part of iHOPE Ministries’ work is forming everyday believers for cross-cultural gospel witness rather than only providing evangelism information. Its Blue Cord™ initiative equips women to live courageously as authentic witnesses in daily life and to model faith-sharing for the next generation. The Blue Cord includes a book, podcast, group study, conference, and related resources connected with Karen Bejjani’s work with women and families.
People can engage with iHOPE Ministries by taking the ETHNOS Course, bringing ETHNOS to a church, using The Blue Cord resources, listening to the podcast, reading iHOPE books, joining the email community, inviting the ministry to speak, praying, giving, or sharing resources with a church or small group. Donors can support the ministry online or by mail, helping iHOPE equip more believers to share Christ across cultures and faiths.

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

Impact Ministry Group — Organization Profile
Impact Ministry Group, also known as IMG, is a Christian church-planting ministry based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The organization is incorporated in Canada and the United States and is made up of two divisions: Impact Canada and Impact Europe. Its ministry theme is “Plant / Train / Transform,” reflecting its focus on church planting, leadership development, and gospel-centered community impact.
The organization’s core focus is planting reproducing New Testament Christian Churches in highly unchurched regions of Canada, Europe, and Russian-speaking communities. Impact Ministry Group states that it seeks to ignite individuals and churches with purpose in the planting of churches that continue reproducing through new disciples, new leaders, and additional church plants.
Impact Ministry Group serves Canada, Eastern Europe, Europe, and Russian-speaking communities. Its current plants and projects include work connected to Guelph, Ontario, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Burlington, Ontario, and Eastern Europe. The organization also identifies future ministry sites in London, Ontario, Mississauga City Centre, the Greater Toronto Area, and Eastern European or Russian-speaking communities.
The ministry operates through partnership, training, networking, and church-planting support.

Its work includes church plants, a Training & Equipping Center in Eastern Europe, and Orphan Kid’s Camp in Eastern Europe.
A distinctive part of Impact Ministry Group’s approach is raising up leaders and resources to reach lost people in densely populated, unchurched communities with churches designed to reproduce. The ministry’s strategy connects established churches, emerging church planters, and local movements so new congregations can be planted among diverse people groups that call Canada or Europe home.
People can engage with Impact Ministry Group by praying for staff, church planters, and emerging movements; giving monthly; sending one-time gifts; requesting updates; supporting specific church plants or projects; or exploring a call to church planting.

International Christian Braille Mission — Organization Profile
International Christian Braille Mission, also known as ICBM, is a Christian nonprofit ministry based in Grayson, Kentucky. Since 1975, the organization has distributed free Braille and audio Christian materials to blind and visually impaired individuals around the world. Its ministry focuses on spreading the gospel of Jesus and helping people deepen their relationship with God through accessible Christian literature.
The organization’s core focus is producing and distributing Christian resources in Braille and audio formats for people who are blind or visually impaired. ICBM identifies itself as a unique ministry within the Restoration Movement, serving people who may not be able to use traditional printed materials. Its work supports biblical authority, church unity, discipleship, and gospel access for readers and listeners who need accessible formats.
ICBM serves from Grayson, Kentucky, with worldwide outreach to blind and visually impaired individuals. Public resource listings describe ICBM materials being distributed in approximately 20 countries, including the United States, England, Malawi, Thailand, India, Australia, Bangladesh, and Cuba. The organization also has ministry activity in Liberia, where it partners with others to serve a village of blind individuals and a private school for blind children in Grand Bassa County.
The organization operates through Braille production, audio ministry, a sharing library, Africa ministry, conference attendance, and ministry partnerships. Its Braille production includes regular publications such as We Would See Jesus Magazine and Every Day in God’s Word devotional, along with a catalog of available publications. Its audio ministry provides monthly audio cartridges with devotionals, magazine articles, Christian books, and ministry updates recorded by volunteers.
A distinctive part of International Christian Braille Mission’s work is making gospel-centered materials available at no cost through specialized Braille equipment, volunteer readers, audio technology, and practical partnerships. ICBM uses embossers, a form burster, binding equipment, and other tools to prepare Braille resources. It also partners with Braille Bibles International for full Braille Bible requests and uses audio tools such as solar audio Bible devices for people who may not read Braille.
People can engage with International Christian Braille Mission by praying, giving financially, volunteering as audio readers, helping in person near Grayson, connecting ICBM with blind or visually impaired people who could use its materials, or supporting the “10-dollar Paper Mill” program that helps cover Braille paper costs. Supporters can also introduce the ministry to churches, organize fundraising events, donate supplies for Liberia outreach, or contact the ministry directly about partnership opportunities.

International Disaster Emergency Service (IDES) — Organization Profile
International Disaster Emergency Service (IDES) is a Christian relief and missions organization that works to meet physical and spiritual needs of suffering people throughout the world in the name of Jesus Christ. From its headquarters in Noblesville, Indiana, IDES mobilizes resources and partnerships to respond quickly when crises strike and to support longer-term recovery and ministry through local churches and mission partners.
IDES frames its work around three main focus areas: Disaster Response, Development, and Disciple-Making. In disaster response, IDES supports practical relief that can include refugee aid, debris cleanup, emergency funding, food and supply distribution, home repairs, and the distribution and construction of storage sheds. IDES notes that U.S. disaster coordinators travel to affected areas, often working alongside a partnering church that helps host volunteers during deployments.
Beyond immediate relief, IDES also invests in development work designed to help communities move toward sustainable stability. The organization describes development as a pathway that can strengthen communities both physically and spiritually, and it has emphasized expanding capacity through trained field workers and long-term partnerships. This approach supports projects that address ongoing needs while keeping local relationships and ministry presence central.
Disciple-making is an explicit part of IDES’ identity and is integrated with relief and development efforts. IDES highlights initiatives such as Bible distribution and translation support, leadership-focused giving through the Rick Jett Leadership Fund, and “Integral Disciple-Making.” IDES also promotes its Legacy Church Campaign—an effort tied to planting new churches in connection with prior IDES projects—reflecting the organization’s aim to see lasting gospel-centered presence in communities where it serves.
A distinctive way many churches and groups participate with IDES is through the GAP Food Packing Program (God Always Provides). GAP events bring volunteers of all ages together to pack nutritious meals that are shipped to areas facing hunger and malnutrition. IDES has also been developing expanded logistics capacity through its Global Impact Center, intended to increase warehouse and office space to support domestic disaster response and the GAP meal program.
People can engage with IDES in several practical ways: giving toward specific relief needs or broader response funds, purchasing items through the Gift Catalog, joining volunteer deployments for U.S. disaster relief, participating in GAP meal packing events, and praying through IDES resources such as newsletters and prayer materials. Churches can also explore hosting fundraising efforts (such as Harvest of Talents) or coordinating training opportunities that help volunteers prepare for disaster response and ministry service.

International Friendship Ministries — Organization Profile
International Friendship Ministries, also known as IFM, is a Christian ministry based in Columbia, South Carolina. Founded in 1981 by Dr. Raj Aluri, the ministry began after his own experience as an international student from India studying at the University of South Carolina. IFM seeks to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ to international students through sincere friendship, service, hospitality, practical help, and connections with local Christians.
The organization’s core focus is serving international students, scholars, their families, and foreign-born people by connecting them with Christian friendship, practical assistance, English practice, Bible study opportunities, and local church relationships. IFM’s giving site describes its goal as educating, encouraging, training, helping, and involving local churches in ministry to internationals, with the aim of spreading the gospel among international students, scholars, families, and foreign-born people in local communities.
IFM serves from Columbia, South Carolina, especially near the University of South Carolina campus, while its history also includes outreach to international students and scholars across a much wider geographic scope. The ministry reports that since 1981 it has reached international students and scholars from more than 150 countries who studied on more than 750 college and university campuses in 48 contiguous states and Hawaii. Its history page also notes branch ministry activity in Orlando, Florida, and Bloomington, Indiana.
The ministry operates through weekly dinners, English conversation and lessons, programs, tours, holiday events, practical help, friendship connections, and volunteer service. IFM hosts Friday night dinners during the school year, followed by classes where international students can interact with Americans and practice English. It also offers special events such as welcome banquets, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s, and Easter gatherings, along with hospitality tours to places in South Carolina and other U.S. destinations.
A distinctive part of International Friendship Ministries’ work is using Christian hospitality and local church relationships to help internationals adjust to American life while encountering the love of Christ. IFM provides practical help such as rides to stores, help moving furniture, conversational English support, and access to Bible studies or international classes in local churches for those who want to learn more about the Bible and Christianity. The ministry’s office at 610 Pickens Street is located near the University of South Carolina campus and provides a space for students and scholars to study, meet, and connect.
People can engage with IFM by giving financially, volunteering, teaching or helping with English classes, supporting weekly meals and events, serving through local churches, joining friendship and hospitality efforts, or contacting the ministry directly. Supporters can give through IFM’s online giving site, contact the office, or participate in the ministry’s ongoing work of welcoming internationals with friendship, practical service, and Christian witness.

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

The organization’s core focus is leadership and Bible training for preachers, elders, deacons, and teachers serving Churches of Christ and Christian Churches in Jamaica. Jamaica Bible Seminary states that it exists to equip and empower Christ-centered leaders through sound biblical education, spiritual formation, and practical ministry training. Its work is directed toward developing servants who faithfully proclaim the gospel, disciple others, and impact their communities, Jamaica, and the world for the glory of God.
Jamaica Christian Services USA serves from Lakeland, Florida, while supporting ministry in Jamaica through Jamaica Bible Seminary and related church work. The seminary’s public materials describe work among churches across the island and identify support for minister training, church assistance, mission teams, storm relief, vacation Bible school efforts, and community aid. Its reported impact includes churches started, students trained, church buildings supported, preacher support, VBS students served, and Jamaican graduates trained for ministry.
The organization operates through charitable support, seminary training, mission teams, scholarships, and church-related projects.

Mission volunteers may include ministers, teachers, tradespeople, professionals, and laypeople who bring skills for teaching, VBS, construction, and community service.
A distinctive part of Jamaica Christian Services USA’s work is supporting Jamaican Christian leaders so they can serve churches and communities within their own cultural context. The ministry’s model emphasizes training and equipping ministers rather than replacing local leadership. Jamaica Bible Seminary also describes a commitment to academic excellence, spiritual integrity, and preparation for leadership marked by wisdom, compassion, and faith in Jesus Christ.

Jochebed’s Hope — Organization Profile
Jochebed’s Hope is a Christian nonprofit ministry based in Fremont, Nebraska, serving children, students, families, churches, and communities in Indonesia. The organization describes its work as sharing the love of God and transforming lives through education, training, and empowerment. Its ministry is rooted in long-term relationships that grew from Christian mission work in Indonesia beginning in the 1960s.
The organization’s core focus is providing children and students in Indonesia with food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education access, vocational training, and Christian encouragement. Jochebed’s Hope serves children who would otherwise have limited access to schooling and basic care, while also investing in adults and church leaders who can strengthen their own communities.
Jochebed’s Hope serves Indonesia, with primary work on the island of Nias and additional support in Jakarta on the island of Java. Its children’s home and dormitories are located in Gunungsitoli, the largest city on Nias. The ministry also supports work in villages and congregations across Nias, where some communities remain geographically isolated and face limited educational and economic opportunity.
The organization operates through several connected programs. Its children’s home in Gunungsitoli provides housing, food, clothing, medical care, and school access for elementary through high school students. Its dormitory program provides free housing and a monthly stipend for upper-high school and college-aged students who move into the city to continue their education. In Jakarta, Jochebed’s Hope supports Connor’s House, a children’s home where children receive housing, food, clothing, medical care, and education.
A distinctive part of Jochebed’s Hope is combining child care, student housing, vocational training, church support, evangelism, and leadership development in one long-term ministry strategy.

Just Help One — Organization Profile
Just Help One is a Christian 501(c)(3) nonprofit disaster response ministry connected with Townsend, Tennessee. The organization serves people affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, and other catastrophic events. Its public theme emphasizes meeting practical needs while planting seeds of hope through Christ-centered service.
The organization’s core focus is bringing hope and restoration to people impacted by disaster through compassionate response, volunteer mobilization, and practical rebuilding support. Just Help One describes its mission as responding to disaster while inspiring people to reflect Jesus daily through faith, hope, and love, treating everyday service as worship. Its vision is to respond with hope while serving those in need, no matter the task.
Just Help One serves disaster-impacted communities across the United States, traveling where help is needed after major storms and other events. The ministry has publicly identified response work connected to areas affected by Hurricane Helene, flash flooding in Texas, and tornado damage in places such as Clarksville, Tennessee. Its model depends on volunteers, donors, churches, families, and businesses that join together to serve families in crisis.
The organization operates around three major areas it calls cleanup, recovery, and rebuild. Cleanup includes cutting trees, hauling debris, removing flooded drywall, clearing yards, and helping families take initial steps after disaster. Recovery involves walking with families over time through sorting, prayer, encouragement, and practical help. Rebuild includes repairing homes, framing walls, hanging doors, painting rooms, and helping families regain stability.

Kairos Benevolence Fund — Organization Profile The Kairos Benevolence Fund (KBF) is a nonprofit ministry created to provide benevolent grants for aging Christian Church ministers and missionaries facing specific health or financial crises. KBF frames its purpose around honoring long-term “kingdom servants” who served faithfully but now find themselves without the resources to meet urgent needs. The organization invites churches and individual donors to participate by funding grants and helping create a culture of “honor, appreciation, and love” for ministry colleagues. KBF’s work is focused on identifying qualified ministry workers in hardship and providing targeted assistance when a crisis emerges—often related to medical bills, housing instability, unexpected emergencies, or other acute financial burdens.

Kairos Benevolence Fund — Organization Profile
The Kairos Benevolence Fund (KBF) is a nonprofit ministry created to provide benevolent grants for aging Christian Church ministers and missionaries facing specific health or financial crises. KBF frames its purpose around honoring long-term “kingdom servants” who served faithfully but now find themselves without the resources to meet urgent needs. The organization invites churches and individual donors to participate by funding grants and helping create a culture of “honor, appreciation, and love” for ministry colleagues.
KBF’s work is focused on identifying qualified ministry workers in hardship and providing targeted assistance when a crisis emerges—often related to medical bills, housing instability, unexpected emergencies, or other acute financial burdens. While needs vary case by case, the common thread is that grants are intended to meet a specific hardship rather than function as broad, ongoing support. KBF also regularly shares recipient stories to help donors understand the types of crises being addressed and how gifts translate into tangible relief.
Operationally, KBF describes a grant process with three main components: raising awareness of the need, evaluating grant applications, and distributing funds to meet approved needs. Grant decisions and disbursements are overseen by the board and a grant distribution team, and KBF notes that experienced ministry, missionary, and business professionals located across the United States help evaluate applications. KBF also communicates that gifts designated for a particular project are generally honored, while also noting that if a specific project is overfunded, excess gifts may be redirected to other approved projects or ministry operations.
KBF provides multiple pathways for someone to seek help or connect others to help. Individuals can apply for assistance through KBF’s application process, and supporters can also submit a referral (including an option to request anonymity). In those cases, KBF indicates the referred person will be contacted and invited to complete an application so the situation can be evaluated consistently and confidentially.
Supporters can engage through giving in several ways, including online donations, mailing a check, and certain non-cash gifts. KBF also lists a giving option through Zelle tied to a ministry email address used for donations. Beyond financial support, churches and individuals can participate by sharing needs, referring ministry colleagues, and staying connected to current projects and stories that highlight where assistance is needed most.
KBF’s leadership includes a board of directors and an executive staff team. The board is chaired by Shawn McMullen, with Cindy Willison serving as vice chair, alongside additional board members with backgrounds in local church ministry, missions, and nonprofit leadership. The organization’s executive leadership lists David Pace as founder and CEO, with operations, finance, and events roles supporting the day-to-day work of coordinating applications, donor relationships, and grant distribution.

Key Communications — Organization Profile
Key Communications is a Christian media and outreach ministry connected with Portland, Oregon. The organization focuses on proclaiming Christ to Urdu-speaking people, especially those whose roots are in the Islamic tradition. Its public theme is “Proclaiming a Message of Hope to a Dark World,” and its ministry has grown from gospel radio programs first produced in Pakistan in the Urdu language in 1971.
The organization’s core focus is providing Urdu-language gospel broadcasting, Christian literature, seeker resources, and follow-up for people considering Christ. Key Communications states that it exists to provide people, particularly those from a Muslim background, with enough information to make an intelligent decision about accepting Christ, to help those who accept Christ form congregations, and to equip congregations to replicate themselves.
Key Communications serves Urdu-speaking audiences globally, with historic and continuing emphasis on Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. The ministry broadcasts into South Asia by radio and reaches listeners worldwide through internet streaming and online resources. Its materials describe daily medium-wave programs, streaming listeners from more than 130 countries, and outreach to people in places the ministry cannot personally visit.
The organization operates through several connected media and discipleship tools. It produces audio programming and literature in Urdu, broadcasts into South Asia by radio, broadcasts online, maintains the Urdu/English seeker website Awaz-e-Haq, replies personally to listener contacts, sends Christian literature, speaks and trains indigenous churches, and educates followers of Christ about interacting with Muslims. Its media page also notes broadcasts into Pakistan through Trans World Radio and resources for listeners in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.
A distinctive part of Key Communications’ work is combining gospel broadcasting with personal follow-up, printed and digital Urdu resources, church training, and local outreach. Its history began with Lee Turner’s missionary work in Pakistan, where he recorded teaching for people who could not read and later prepared radio programs for the Far East Broadcasting Association. After returning to the United States in 1976, Lee founded Key Communications to continue the Urdu gospel work that began in Pakistan.
People can engage with Key Communications by praying, giving, using or sharing the Awaz-e-Haq resources, contacting the ministry, inviting conversation about Urdu outreach, or supporting the production of radio programs and literature. Donations help cover program production, literature, airtime, website resources, travel, and communication with listeners and inquirers. The ministry’s public updates also invite supporters to follow news about broadcasting, publishing, outreach in Pakistan, and training opportunities connected with the International Conference on Missions.

The organization’s core focus is sending missionaries, planting churches, training leaders, and multiplying self-supporting churches in areas with little or no Christian witness.

Multiply.” Its public materials describe a purpose of sending missionaries to places with limited Christian witness, training and supporting local workers, and establishing churches that can eventually send missionaries to plant more churches.
Kontaktmission serves from Humboldt, Tennessee, with ministry connected to Europe, Eastern Europe, and other countries through an intentionally multinational team. Its U.S. site emphasizes partnership with the international team in Europe and describes Europe as a major ministry focus.

Its core-values materials describe church planting as its primary objective, while also noting evangelistic and support ministries, assistance for local believers, training for churches and small groups, and leadership education that can include Bible schools where needed.
A distinctive part of Kontaktmission’s model is connecting missionaries, churches, local believers, and ministry partners across national and cultural lines for more effective church planting and gospel work. Its materials emphasize flexibility, creativity, partnership, local decision-making, and cooperation with existing ministries rather than isolated work. Kontaktmission also highlights the value of helping Christians discern their calling and find places to serve according to their gifts and preparation.
People can engage with Kontaktmission by praying, giving, partnering with the ministry, exploring full-time missionary service, joining a short-term trip or internship, receiving ministry updates, supporting Ukraine relief, or contacting staff about training and partnership.

The organization describes itself as a mission that supports missions and churches already working in their neighborhoods, building spiritual and financial support relationships with local leaders and ministries.
The organization’s core focus is supporting Colombian churches and missions through children’s feeding ministries, medical missions, community health programs, pastoral encouragement, and short-term mission coordination.

The ministry operates through book publishing, translation, adaptation, distribution, and mission-work visits. Its listed books include titles such as Dios Altísimo, Fuerza para la victoria, Los fundamentos de la fe, Ser tan bueno no es tan bueno, La fe enfrente al mundo, and Cómo prepararse para ser líder efectivo en la congregación.

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

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