The mission serves rural India, with a focus on communities where evangelism, discipleship, education, care for children, widows, elderly people, and humanitarian support are needed. Its public materials emphasize Gospel outreach alongside practical service, showing concern for both spiritual formation and physical needs among vulnerable people and underserved communities.
RICM’s ministry approach includes planting churches through evangelizing the unreached, nurturing disciples, and developing leaders.

These efforts are designed to help people gain practical skills, economic opportunity, and community support.

One Mission Society, also known as OMS, is a global Christian mission organization focused on multiplying disciples, churches, leaders, and missionaries through evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and missionary mobilization. Founded in 1901 as The Oriental Missionary Society, OMS began in Japan through the work of Charles and Lettie Cowman, Ernest and Julia Kilbourne, and Japanese evangelist Juji Nakada.
The organization is based in Greenwood, Indiana, and serves in more than 85 countries through missionaries, national workers, volunteers, church partners, and global ministries. OMS describes its work as “engaging the one to reach the many,” with an emphasis on training a nation’s sons and daughters to reach their own people for Christ and then partner in reaching others.
OMS operates through a multiplication strategy. Its public materials describe four central areas: multiplying disciples through evangelism and relationships, multiplying churches through church planting, multiplying leaders through training methods such as Train & Multiply, Seed Sowers, and New Village Church Planting, and multiplying missionaries through mobilization efforts such as the 125 by 125 initiative. This strategy reflects the organization’s focus on locally rooted Christian witness that develops indigenous leaders and churches.
The organization’s ministries include long-term, mid-term, short-term, and internship opportunities, along with Embark, a 1- to 12-month cross-cultural mission experience primarily for college-aged young adults. OMS also supports church partners, global projects, prayer resources, missionary sending, theological education, community ministries, and field opportunities in regions such as Africa, Asia-Oceania, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and North America.
OMS also participates in broader collaborative efforts, including Billion.Global, a network launched from the vision of former OMS president Bob Fetherlin. Its public resources include Outreach magazine, the Global Impact Report, prayer guides, One Mission Radio archives, missionary stories, and opportunities to support missionaries and projects. These resources help churches and individuals stay connected with the mission’s work across different countries and ministry contexts.

Its distinct contribution is a long-standing interdenominational mission movement that equips local believers and cross-cultural workers to form Christ-centered communities around the world.

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.

Its public updates describe ministry among children ages 12–18, Bible teaching, and continued support through prayer and financial gifts. The ministry also identifies team service in communities where Haitian leaders and workers are actively involved in daily outreach.

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.

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.

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.

Christian HolyLand Foundation — Organization Profile
Christian HolyLand Foundation (CHLF) is a Christian mission organization that partners with local believers and ministries in the Holy Land. Its work focuses on supporting local Christian communities through evangelism, church planting, discipleship, reconciliation, relief, development, education, and advocacy. CHLF describes its role as standing with Christian communities in the Holy Land and helping the living church remain rooted in the region.
CHLF is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and its ministry serves Israel, Palestine, Jordan, the Galilee region of northern Israel, and surrounding Holy Land communities. In the United States, the organization also provides education and advocacy for churches, small groups, and ministry partners who want to better understand the complex realities facing Christians in Israel and Palestine.
The organization traces its story to ministry relationships that began in the 1970s with George Awwad, an Arab Christian minister in Jerusalem. CHLF was formally established in 1985 and later deepened its partnership with churches and leaders in Galilee after Awwad’s death in 2003. Today, CHLF emphasizes that the future of the church in the Holy Land belongs to local Christians, and its role is to support that work with humility, resources, and long-term presence.
A central part of CHLF’s ministry is the Galilee Team, a partnership with six pastoring couples native to the Galilee region of northern Israel. These leaders serve established congregations and home churches, while also leading church planting, women’s ministry, youth ministry, reconciliation events, discipleship, benevolence, and local outreach. CHLF states that the Galilee Team has grown from work in six ministries across five communities to ministry with about two dozen groups in nearly 30 villages and towns.
CHLF also supports specific ministries such as the annual Women’s Ministry gathering in Eilabun, the Holiday Youth Conference, and a Benevolence Ministry that provides food and basic supplies to families in need. Its Church Services information helps visitors connect with local evangelical congregations in Beine, Eilabun, and Cana of Galilee. These ministries reflect CHLF’s emphasis on serving both spiritual and practical needs through local pastors and congregations.
People can engage with Christian HolyLand Foundation by giving financially, praying for local Christian communities, inviting CHLF to speak at a church or small group, joining ministry news updates, participating in a pilgrimage, learning about issues affecting Christians in the Holy Land, or supporting the Galilee Team and related ministries. Donations may be made online through CHLF’s giving platform or by mail to its Indianapolis post office box.

Asian Children’s Mission — Organization Profile
Asian Children’s Mission is a Christian nonprofit ministry focused on caring for, protecting, and educating vulnerable children of Myanmar in the name of Jesus Christ. Commonly known as ACM, the ministry practices holistic Christian ministry, intentionally addressing both spiritual and physical needs through education, children’s homes, emergency aid, community development, and evangelism.
ACM is based in Ellettsville, Indiana, and serves children, families, churches, and communities in Myanmar, also known as Burma. The ministry’s work is carried out through native Myanmar staff members who lead programs in local contexts. ACM notes that Myanmar includes many ethnic people groups and that poverty is especially severe in remote areas. Its ministry also responds to displacement and instability connected to Myanmar’s civil conflict.
The organization began after its founder visited Myanmar in 2007 and committed to help open a home for children without a safe place to live. That children’s home opened in 2008 and remains part of ACM’s work. Since then, the ministry has expanded beyond orphan care into schools, relief operations, community development projects, and churches. ACM states that it now supports staff members in Myanmar who facilitate these efforts locally.
Education is a central part of ACM’s strategy. The ministry supports preschools, elementary education, and Joshua School, a program serving children with special needs in Myanmar. Its education work includes instruction for children from pre-K through high school and beyond, with particular concern for women and children facing poverty or limited opportunity. ACM also supports teachers who serve in remote areas and communities where educational access is limited.
ACM’s community development work includes the Samaritan Practical School of Nursing, Myanmar Community Development Center, Community Health Evangelism, vocational training, health clinic work, farm projects, and evangelist training. These programs are designed to strengthen families and communities so children can be fed, protected, educated, and discipled within healthier local environments. Vocational training includes practical skills such as computer classes, sign making, engine repair, sewing, chicken farming, English classes, construction, painting, and restaurant internships.
The ministry also engages in emergency aid, refugee resettlement support, and evangelism. ACM has assisted internally displaced people through food, bamboo homes, schools, churches, and gospel-centered encouragement. People can engage with Asian Children’s Mission by praying, giving one-time or recurring gifts, following ministry updates, contacting the board, or supporting education, orphan care, community development, emergency relief, and evangelism among vulnerable children and families in Myanmar.

Asia Christian Services — Organization Profile
Asia Christian Services is a Christian mission organization focused on empowering indigenous Asian missionaries to reach the unreached, plant new churches, and disciple believers. Commonly known as ACS, the ministry is built on three generations of missionary work connected with the Morse family and began as an effort to support Asian Christian workers continuing gospel ministry in Southeast Asia.
ACS is based in Mason, Ohio, and its ministry work focuses on Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Northeast India, Laos, Bangladesh, and western China. The organization states that its work began in northern Myanmar and later expanded across borders as Asian missionaries carried the gospel into additional tribal, village, and regional contexts. Its approach emphasizes supporting local Christian workers who understand the languages, cultures, and ministry needs of the people they serve.
The mission’s history traces back to J. Russell and Gertrude Morse, who began missionary work in Tibet in 1921 and later served in western China and Burma. In 1966, LaVerne Morse established Asia Christian Services to support tribal Christian leaders who remained in Burma and continued missionary outreach. ACS reports that these workers planted churches, crossed tribal and language barriers, developed leadership training centers and Bible colleges, began radio broadcasts, and supported Bible translation and Christian literature in local languages.
ACS operates through several ministry areas, including evangelism, church planting, discipleship, training, relief, and assistance programs. The ministry supports indigenous efforts to share the gospel, encourages local evangelists who plant churches, helps strengthen believers in local congregations, and provides Bible-based teaching for pastors, evangelists, and Christian workers. ACS also identifies radio broadcasting, literature translation and preparation, village medical services, leadership training seminars, and personal visits with Asian partners as part of its ministry process.
The organization also responds to practical needs connected with displacement, disaster, and poverty. ACS describes relief and assistance programs that procure and distribute food, medicine, and basic supplies to refugees and displaced people. Its giving page and ministry updates connect donor support with evangelist support, new church planting, schools, orphanages, refugee relief, and disaster response. These efforts are presented as ways to serve communities while strengthening the work of local Christian leaders.
People can engage with Asia Christian Services by praying for Asian evangelists and Christian workers, giving financially, following ministry updates, signing up for newsletters, and sharing in support for projects across Southeast Asia. ACS encourages regular prayer for workers, political stability, peace, additional laborers, and the people of Myanmar and surrounding regions. Financial support helps provide resources for church planters, relief work, training, and ongoing ministry among unreached and under-resourced communities.
