North Burma Christian Mission — Organization Profile
North Burma Christian Mission, also known as NBCM, is a Christian mission organization with roots reaching back to 1921. Its current public materials describe the ministry as a mission movement serving Southeast Asia through evangelism, discipleship, church planting, Bible training, literature, media, music, youth homes, community development, and deaf ministry. The organization’s stated vision is that millions in Asia would be eternally influenced for Christ through multiple outreach ministries.
The mission has a U.S. home-office mailing contact in Ponca City, Oklahoma, while its field work is centered in Thailand and broader Southeast Asia. The ministry’s history began with J. Russell and Gertrude Morse serving in Tibet and China, continued into Burma in the early 1950s, and later relocated to Thailand in 1972. Today, NBCM describes its work as extending across multiple countries, languages, and people groups in Asia.
NBCM operates through a team of missionaries and national coworkers. Its evangelistic work includes partnering with committed national preachers to evangelize, disciple, and plant churches among tribal and local people groups. Leadership training is another core area, with Bible training courses and Bible schools serving church leaders and members across many ethnicities and languages.
The mission also supports Christian literature and media in minority languages. Its literature department in Thailand translates, designs, and prepares Bibles, hymnbooks, and other Christian materials for more than a dozen people groups. Its media and music ministries create sermons, dramas, testimonies, Christian programs, hymnbooks, music recordings, and videos that can be shared through social media and local distribution channels.
NBCM’s holistic work includes youth homes, community development, business as mission, and deaf ministry. Youth homes provide safe housing during the school year so tribal children can receive formal education while remaining connected to Christian values and their cultural identity. Development work includes agriculture, infrastructure, health and sanitation, water projects, education, church planting, and relief assistance. Deaf ministry has included churches started in Chiang Mai that are now led by local leaders.
People can engage with North Burma Christian Mission by praying for the work, subscribing to missionary newsletters, supporting individual missionaries, giving by check to the general mission fund, and learning about specific field ministries through the mission team pages. Its distinct contribution is long-term, multi-generational Christian mission work among tribal and local communities in Southeast Asia, combining Gospel proclamation with leadership training, local-language resources, and practical community care.

Iberoamerican Ministries — Organization Profile
Iberoamerican Ministries, also known as IAM, is a Christian mission organization based in Monroe, Washington. The organization describes itself with the words “Planting. Serving. Sending.” and works to see peoples, communities, and nations transformed by Christ through global movements of Kingdom disciples.
The organization’s core focus is planting churches, serving with compassion, and sending disciples through church planting, leadership training, education, children’s outreach, compassion projects, and missionary development. IAM states that its vision is to see peoples, communities, and nations transformed by Christ through global movements of Kingdom disciples, and its mission is “to plant churches, serve with compassion and send disciples.”
Iberoamerican Ministries serves in South America, West Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, with work publicly identified in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Central America, Sierra Leone, Spain, Italy, and the Canary Islands. Its history began with missionaries arriving in Chile in 1977 and planting churches in Maipu, a community outside Santiago. IAM was founded as a nonprofit mission organization in 1992, and the work later expanded into Peru, Ecuador, southern Chile, the Middle East, Sierra Leone, and Europe.
The organization operates through church planting, discipleship, leadership development, compassion ministries, schools, tutoring programs, feeding programs, community centers, housing projects, clean water work, business-as-mission, and missionary sending. In Chile, IAM’s Maipu churches have grown into a network of churches led by national leaders and pastors. Its IAM Institute began in 1996 to train leaders, missionaries, and pastors in biblical studies and is active in Chile, Ecuador, and Peru.
A distinctive part of IAM’s work is developing local leaders and churches that can continue extending the kingdom work beyond their own communities. In Ecuador, IAM’s ministries include church plants, schools, children’s programs, and housing projects connected to earthquake response. In Sierra Leone, IAM’s work includes clean water through manual borehole wells, medical and food-related compassion work, and church planting in rural villages. In Central America, IAM also describes business-as-mission work in software, web services, specialty coffee, and nonprofit consulting.

Hisportic Global Christian Mission — Organization Profile
Hisportic Global Christian Mission, also known as HCM or Hisportic Christian Mission, is a Christian church-planting and leadership-development ministry with contact operations in Elizabethton, Tennessee. Founded in 1984, the organization exists to multiply Christ-followers among Portuguese-speaking peoples worldwide. Its public theme, “One Language. One Gospel.” reflects its focus on sharing Christ in the heart language of Portuguese-speaking communities.
The organization’s core focus is planting churches, training leaders, developing disciples, supporting Christian education, and encouraging sustainable ministry among Portuguese-speaking peoples. HCM began as a calling to reach Brazilian and Portuguese communities in New England and has expanded into a global ministry serving across the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Its work is built around local believers, national pastors, and ministry leaders who can disciple people within their own language and culture.
Hisportic Global Christian Mission serves the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe, with current work publicly identified in the United States, Brazil, Guinea-Bissau, Goa in India, Timor-Leste, and Portugal. In the United States, HCM partners with Portuguese-speaking congregations and pastors in states such as Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, and Tennessee. In Guinea-Bissau, the mission supports churches, schools, teacher training, leadership development, and plans for the Institute of Development and Evangelism.
The ministry operates through five connected areas: church planting, leadership training, entrepreneurship, in-country service, and education. HCM partners with local believers to form Christ-centered churches that become centers for worship, discipleship, and outreach. It also invests in pastoral and lay training so leaders can guide churches with biblical knowledge, spiritual maturity, and practical ministry skills. Its education work includes Christian schools that provide learning shaped by a biblical worldview.
A distinctive part of HCM’s strategy is using the Portuguese language as a bridge across cultures and continents. Portuguese connects communities in places such as Brazil, Guinea-Bissau, Goa, Timor-Leste, Portugal, and immigrant communities in the United States. Through that shared language, HCM seeks to connect hearts, cultures, and generations with the gospel while strengthening local churches and developing future leaders.
People can engage with Hisportic Global Christian Mission by praying, giving, joining short-term mission opportunities, exploring long-term service, or contacting the ministry about partnership. Short-term teams may serve through construction, education, children’s outreach, community projects, and encouragement for national pastors. Long-term opportunities focus on church establishment, disciple making, education, community development, and Business-as-Mission initiatives among Portuguese-speaking communities.
