Disciple Makers — Organization Profile
Disciple Makers is a Christian mission organization focused on helping fulfill the Great Commission among unreached and unengaged people groups. Its stated mission is to make Christ-followers who produce Christ-followers among the nations of the world. The organization works through evangelism, church planting, national evangelist support, leadership training, short-term trips, internships, and technology-based training.
Disciple Makers is based in Latonia, Kentucky, and its ministry serves Africa, Asia, Latin America, Guatemala, the 10/40 Window, and unreached people groups around the world. The organization began in 1989 and is supported by churches and individuals who partner with its mission to help fulfill the Great Commission of Christ.
The ministry’s work is shaped by a focus on unreached and unengaged people groups. Disciple Makers highlights the remaining task of global evangelism and states that more than 7,000 people groups are still considered unreached with the gospel. Its vision includes planting new indigenous churches, empowering national workers, and developing sustainable ministry among people who have limited access to the gospel.
Disciple Makers operates through several connected strategies. Its Adopt an Evangelist program allows churches and individuals to support nationally trained evangelists with prayer, financial support, encouragement, and possible field visits. The organization also promotes adopting unreached people groups, sponsoring Internet Training Centers, and supporting field workers who serve in difficult-access contexts.
Technology and training are also important parts of the ministry. Disciple Makers uses Internet Training Centers to train lay pastors and prepare workers for ministry among unreached communities. Its core values include dependency on God, clear direction, national empowerment, technology, church planting, sustainability, and accountability to prayer and financial partners.
People can engage with Disciple Makers by praying, giving financially, adopting an evangelist, sponsoring an Internet Training Center, participating in short-term trips, applying for internships in Africa, Asia, Latin America, or Puentes, supporting missionaries, or contacting the ministry about unreached people group engagement. Donations may be made online or through the organization’s Latonia, Kentucky office.

Crossroads International Student Ministries — Organization Profile
Crossroads International Student Ministries (CISM) is a Christian ministry focused on international students and visiting scholars studying at colleges and universities in the United States. Its mission is to mobilize the church in sharing Jesus’ love by serving and discipling international students coming to universities in the USA. The ministry helps churches, campus ministries, Bible colleges, seminaries, families, volunteers, and ministry leaders recognize the opportunity for global outreach on American campuses.
CISM is based in Kearney, Nebraska, and its work serves university communities across the United States. The ministry emphasizes that more than one million international students and visiting scholars come to U.S. campuses from more than 220 countries, including countries where access to the gospel may be restricted. CISM’s work is designed to help local Christians welcome these students through friendship, hospitality, Bible study, cultural exchange, and discipleship.
The organization’s vision is to help establish 30 new international student ministries by 2030 on colleges and universities in the United States. Its stated objectives are to awaken, mobilize, equip, and network churches and leaders. This includes casting vision for international student outreach, helping churches identify ministry opportunities, recruiting workers, training leaders, and connecting paid staff and volunteers for encouragement, support, and resource sharing.
CISM’s ministry model includes consultation, conferences, retreats, training, campus connection, hospitality, and resource development. The organization offers to meet with universities, local congregations, and ministry leaders in person or by Zoom to dream, converse, and strategize about international student ministry. CISM also participates in national gatherings such as the International Conference on Missions and other campus ministry and mission-related conferences.
The ministry also helps international students connect with American students, families, and campus groups. Its materials describe opportunities for students to practice conversational English, share meals, learn about American culture, participate in holiday gatherings, meet other international students, and explore the Bible and Christianity in an understandable setting. CISM’s resources include materials such as Welcoming International Students Home, International Friends Journal, American Friend Handbook, No Passport Needed, and links to partner resources for discipleship and English-language outreach.
People can engage with Crossroads International Student Ministries by praying, giving financially, subscribing to updates, inviting CISM to consult with a church or university, attending or hosting training, serving international students through hospitality, joining retreats or conferences, using ministry resources, or contacting the ministry about getting involved. Donations may be made online, through PayPal Giving Fund, through Zeffy, or by check mailed to the Kearney, Nebraska post office box.
