La Palabra de Cristo — Organization Profile
La Palabra de Cristo, also identified in English as The Word of Christ, is a Christian publishing ministry based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The ministry publishes Christian books in Spanish to equip Spanish-speaking Christians for discipleship and leadership in the church. Its work grew from a mission trip to Colombia, where leaders saw the need for solid theological resources for churches in Colombia and other Spanish-speaking countries.
The organization’s core focus is producing and distributing Christ-centered theological resources in Spanish for discipleship, Bible study, and church leadership development. La Palabra de Cristo states that its mission is to equip Spanish-speaking Christians for discipleship and for leadership in the church. Its published materials include Spanish-language books related to Christian leadership, Bible studies, theology, and dual-language resources.
La Palabra de Cristo serves Spanish-speaking Christians in Latin America and the Hispanic world, with direct ministry visits publicly identified in Colombia, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Belize. The ministry’s purpose is not limited to publishing books; it also visits mission works to share the books and encourage Spanish-speaking believers in person. Its website describes a desire to help churches across Latin America grow in understanding Scripture and proclaim the gospel with clarity and conviction.
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. The leadership book was translated from Sam Stone’s How to Be an Effective Church Leader and adapted to Hispanic culture by veteran missionary Dale Meade.
A distinctive part of La Palabra de Cristo’s work is making doctrinally grounded Christian resources available in Spanish for churches and leaders who need accessible theological materials. The ministry’s authors include Jack Cottrell, Dale Roberto Meade, Thomas Friskney, Orrin Root, and Sam E. Stone. Through these resources, La Palabra de Cristo supports Bible teaching, discipleship, leadership preparation, and theological formation for Spanish-speaking believers.
People can engage with La Palabra de Cristo by purchasing books, contacting the ministry, sharing its resources with Spanish-speaking churches and mission works, or supporting the distribution of Spanish Christian literature. Churches, missionaries, and ministry leaders working in Hispanic contexts can use the ministry’s materials for discipleship, leadership training, Bible study, and strengthening congregations.

Global Church Growth Inc., also known as Global Church Growth Discipling Ministries or GCGDM, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-denominational Christian ministry connected with Sevierville and Seymour, Tennessee. The organization states that its goal is becoming disciples and its mission is making disciples. Its public materials describe the ministry as providing training, training materials, and support to churches, missionaries, individuals, and ministries around the world.
The organization’s core focus is making disciples of Jesus Christ by equipping ethnic, foreign, and national ministries and their leaders with practical training, materials, mentoring, and support. Global Church Growth describes its mission as helping ministries make disciples and foster others in making disciples. Its work is directed toward strengthening church leaders, new churches, established congregations, and mission partners.
Global Church Growth serves ministries in the United States and internationally, with official materials identifying global work in places such as Cuba, Myanmar, Nepal, Guatemala, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Russia, Poland, Mexico, Antigua, Uganda, and other mission contexts. The ministry’s approach emphasizes equipping native leaders to carry on disciple-making work in their own communities.
The organization operates through on-site seminars, church planting support, internships, personal mentoring, foreign missions, and service tracks. Its training includes evangelism, discipleship, leadership, church growth, giftedness, shepherding, and the “Uniquely You” profiling resource. Global Church Growth states that it does not simply present seminars or provide materials, but also offers personal mentoring and monitoring for those who partner with the ministry.
A distinctive part of Global Church Growth’s approach is combining church-growth training with long-term disciple-making systems, mentoring, and leadership development for local ministry leaders. Its founder and director, Dr. Michael R. Householder, developed the “Walk in Discipleship” series after seeing the need to help new believers continue growing as disciples. The ministry’s history includes work in Eastern Europe, Russia, Poland, and other regions where churches have been trained in discipleship and church-growth principles.
People can engage with Global Church Growth by giving financially, praying, joining the email list, inviting the ministry to train leaders, ordering materials through Fishnet Publishers, or contacting the ministry about seminars and service tracks. The organization also asks for support for short-term workers, full-time missionaries, church planting, established church growth, and funds needed to continue its disciple-making ministry.
