CYC describes its purpose as helping teens focus on the positivity of living for Jesus Christ and navigating the challenges of growing up in a culture that often conflicts with faithful Christian living. It is designed primarily for teenage students who attend with church youth groups, youth ministers, parents, and adult chaperones. CYC typically operates in two primary geographic settings—Dallas, Texas and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee—drawing groups from across the United States.

Challenge Youth Conference (CYC) — Organization Profile
Challenge Youth Conference (CYC) is a large youth-focused Bible conference planned and directed by members of churches of Christ. CYC describes its purpose as helping teens focus on the positivity of living for Jesus Christ and navigating the challenges of growing up in a culture that often conflicts with faithful Christian living. It is designed primarily for teenage students who attend with church youth groups, youth ministers, parents, and adult chaperones.
CYC typically operates in two primary geographic settings—Dallas, Texas and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee—drawing groups from across the United States. The conference is structured around large-group worship and keynote-style Bible teaching, supported by additional class and learning options that help churches bring students for a concentrated time of Scripture, encouragement, and shared spiritual focus.
In addition to the in-person gathering, CYC maintains a growing library of teaching resources. Through its “CYC Resources” area and its official YouTube presence, CYC makes past conference content and video class materials available for continued use by individuals, families, and youth ministries. This extends the conference’s impact beyond a single weekend and gives youth leaders practical tools for follow-up study and discussion back home.
CYC also highlights pathways for student development and support. One example is its scholarship initiative, which provides a way for eligible high school seniors to apply for scholarship opportunities connected with the conference and its sponsoring universities. CYC also promotes additional ministry-adjacent programming through its website, including Transform Ladies Conference (TLC), reflecting an effort to provide equipping and encouragement for multiple audiences.
Churches and families can engage with CYC by registering groups through its official event registration portal, preparing students for a spiritually focused experience, and using the available media resources to support ongoing discipleship. Sponsors and partner schools can also connect through the sponsors page, and churches can stay informed through official communication channels and social platforms.

Lipscomb University — Organization Profile
Lipscomb University is a private Christian liberal arts institution based in Nashville, Tennessee, with its main campus at One University Park Drive in Nashville. Founded in 1891 by David Lipscomb and James A. Harding, the university was established to help students pursue academic preparation alongside the study of Scripture, a founding vision the school says continues to shape its work today.
The university states its mission is to prepare learners for purposeful lives through rigorous academics and transformative education, integrating faith and practice with academic excellence in the classroom and through service to the church and the larger community. As a faith-based university, Lipscomb emphasizes student formation that includes intellectual development, professional preparation, and spiritual growth within a campus community setting.
Lipscomb offers undergraduate, graduate, and online study options, serving students from Nashville and the broader region, as well as learners who engage from a distance through online programs. The university also highlights the way its location connects students to a major metropolitan job market, with Nashville-area industries and community organizations providing context for internships, clinical experiences, and other applied learning opportunities.
Beyond the main campus, Lipscomb lists several additional locations and initiatives that extend its presence and services. These include the Family Therapy Center in Nashville and Spark, a Nashville-based site that supports engagement with community and professional partners. Lipscomb also notes a Florence, Italy location (a university villa) that serves as a home base for students participating in study abroad experiences.
People can engage with Lipscomb in multiple ways depending on their connection to the institution. Prospective students can explore admissions pathways for undergraduate and graduate study, schedule campus visits, and apply online. Alumni, parents, churches, and community partners can follow campus updates, participate in events, and support the university through charitable giving, including gifts designated to specific priorities through the Office of Advancement.
Lipscomb’s current president is Dr. Candice McQueen, and the university publishes leadership information alongside its mission, history, and campus resources. For the most direct and up-to-date details on programs, visiting, and ways to support the university, Lipscomb’s official website and related university pages provide primary information.

Its work focuses on using bicycles to deliver practical care, training, basic supplies, and spiritual encouragement to people facing difficult healthcare and family-care situations. The organization’s core focus is serving Patient Attendants and vulnerable families in Uganda through bicycle-powered care, health education, supplies, prayer, and gospel-centered service.

Good Gaali/Good Girli — Organization Profile
Good Gaali is a Christian 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving in Kabale, Uganda. The organization’s mission is bringing love for humanity, the environment, and the good news of the gospel through the power of the bicycle. Its work focuses on using bicycles to deliver practical care, training, basic supplies, and spiritual encouragement to people facing difficult healthcare and family-care situations.
The organization’s core focus is serving Patient Attendants and vulnerable families in Uganda through bicycle-powered care, health education, supplies, prayer, and gospel-centered service. In Uganda, hospitalized patients are often cared for by family members known as Patient Attendants or informal caregivers. Good Gaali works with these caregivers at Kabale Regional Referral Hospital by providing basic training, CarePacks, and prayer support as they care for hospitalized loved ones.
Good Gaali serves southwestern Uganda, with public ministry activity centered in Kabale and Kabale Regional Referral Hospital. Its site also references work connected to Hoima Regional Referral Hospital and rural community outreach. The organization’s community outreach seeks to bring health education and discipleship “upstream” into villages, especially around preventive care, sanitation, hygiene, and family-care practices.
The organization operates through several connected programs. The Good Bike Program uses bamboo cargo bicycles to carry supplies to the hospital, where the team teaches basic caregiving information and provides items such as soap, hand sanitizer, masks, toilet paper, and food. Community Outreach sends riders into communities with health information and the good news of Jesus Christ. Come and Ride is a developing invitation for people to visit Uganda, serve with the team, and experience the ministry firsthand.
Good Girli is Good Gaali’s sister venture and a local Ugandan business created to help mothers and girls address practical needs with dignity and love. Its work focuses on washable, reusable cloth diapers and washable, reusable menstrual shields and liners. From its workshop in Kabale, Good Girli seamstresses create reusable cloth diapers and sanitary pads, and Good Girli also partners with Wakisa Ministries in Kampala to produce environmentally friendly reusable feminine hygiene pads.
A distinctive part of Good Gaali/Good Girli’s work is combining Christian compassion, environmental stewardship, local employment, health education, and practical dignity for women, girls, caregivers, and families. People can engage by praying, giving, supporting CarePacks, sponsoring reusable diapers through the “Diaper Active” or “Waistband Warrior” effort, volunteering, contacting the ministry, or learning about future ride-and-serve opportunities in Uganda.

Partner135 — Organization Profile Partner135, also written as Partner 135, is an international Christian mission agency committed to equipping today’s church to reach today’s world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The organization describes its work as empowering the national church where it is by forming strategic partnerships between U.S. disciples and indigenous disciples who serve within specific cultures and geographic regions. The ministry is based in Van Buren, Arkansas, and serves through established work on four continents, including ministry connections in Uganda, South Asia, Romania, Tanzania, Peru, Nepal, India, the Frontier, Kenya, and Egypt.

Partner135 — Organization Profile
Partner135, also written as Partner 135, is an international Christian mission agency committed to equipping today’s church to reach today’s world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The organization describes its work as empowering the national church where it is by forming strategic partnerships between U.S. disciples and indigenous disciples who serve within specific cultures and geographic regions.
The ministry is based in Van Buren, Arkansas, and serves through established work on four continents, including ministry connections in Uganda, South Asia, Romania, Tanzania, Peru, Nepal, India, the Frontier, Kenya, and Egypt. Partner135 works with national pastors, church leaders, missionaries, churches, and mission volunteers to reach unreached, under-reached, and under-served peoples.
Partner135 summarizes its ministry approach through three words: Discover, Develop, and Deploy. The organization seeks to discover unreached and unengaged people groups, develop contextualized strategies with national church leaders, and deploy missionaries, short-term teams, resources, and funds for training and service. This model reflects a focus on local church partnerships, contextual mission strategy, and reproducible leadership development.
Short-term mission mobilization is a major part of Partner135’s work. The organization sends disciples from the United States to serve alongside national pastors and church leaders for one- to three-week mission projects, many of them in remote areas. These trips include sharing the Gospel, meeting practical needs, and supporting ongoing ministry led by local believers.
Partner135 also supports year-round ministry through sponsorships, church planting, pastor support, child and school sponsorship, missionary support, international staff support, project funding, elderly and widow support, and emergency relief. Its giving opportunities emphasize teaching the Gospel, training the next generation of believers, and telling stories of what God is doing through partner ministries around the world.
People can engage with Partner135 by praying, giving, becoming a Gospel Partner, joining the prayer team, supporting a missionary or project, sponsoring children or schools, joining a short-term mission trip, or contacting the organization about mobilization. Its distinct contribution is connecting U.S. churches and disciples with national church leaders to advance Gospel work among unreached and underserved communities through partnership, training, mobilization, and practical support.

Renew University — Organization Profile Renew University (often referred to as RenewU) is a ministry-focused learning platform sponsored by Renew Network (Renew.org). Designed to serve the church, Renew University provides an educational environment for believers who want deeper biblical training for life and ministry. Its stated focus includes resources for everyday disciples as well as Bible teachers, ministers, elders, and leaders in training. Renew University describes two primary “wings” of its work: a growing library of teaching content and a structured certificate track.

Renew University — Organization Profile
Renew University (often referred to as RenewU) is a ministry-focused learning platform sponsored by Renew Network (Renew.org). Designed to serve the church, Renew University provides an educational environment for believers who want deeper biblical training for life and ministry. Its stated focus includes resources for everyday disciples as well as Bible teachers, ministers, elders, and leaders in training.
Renew University describes two primary “wings” of its work: a growing library of teaching content and a structured certificate track. The platform highlights access to teachers with advanced degrees and ministry experience, with course topics spanning areas such as Jesus and the Gospels, Christian evidences, the Old Testament, Acts and Paul, the book of Romans, and related studies offered through an online course calendar.
A central pathway is RenewU’s Certificate in Theology (CIT) Program, which Renew University presents as a cohort-based learning experience. The CIT track is structured to run for about twenty months, with students joining a cohort to progress through the sequence together. The program emphasizes both rock-solid Bible teaching and relational learning through cohort community, aiming to help students internalize training and apply it in ministry contexts.
Renew University also connects its work to the broader Renew Network ecosystem, which advocates biblical theology for the purpose of disciplemaking. Renew Network’s public description includes ongoing articles and resources, coaching and learning communities, and gatherings—alongside sponsorship of Renew University. In that sense, Renew University functions as a training extension within a larger network that seeks to support churches and leaders pursuing disciplemaking.
Renew University explicitly states that it operates as a non-degree-granting religious educational program and that it is not accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or CHEA. Certificates issued by Renew University indicate completion of internal program requirements for religious and ministry purposes and are not presented as academic degrees.
Those who want to engage with Renew University can explore the current course schedule, try a free class, or enroll in the Certificate in Theology program through Renew Network’s enrollment pathway. The platform also provides a direct point of contact for questions and coordination, and it maintains official social channels for updates and video content.

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. It partners with churches and church planters to start new churches, trains leaders through events, classes, and coaching, and networks with Christ-centered individuals, churches, and organizations to create strategies and provide needed resources. 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. U.S. and Canadian donors can give online, and all donors may give by check or contact the office about pre-authorized electronic funds transfer.

The organization serves unreached people groups, local churches, indigenous church planters, pastors, evangelists, lay leaders, children, and communities in areas where gospel access and basic social resources may be limited. The ministry states that it works among unreached people groups, including groups in Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso.
The organization’s core ministry is church planting among unreached people groups through trained indigenous leaders. T.T.L. reports that it has planted churches in multiple regions of Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso and that its workers include college-trained church planters, college-trained preachers, and lay helpers. Its history traces the work to 1991, when the first church planter was sent out after training and financial support through partner churches.
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders also emphasizes training and discipleship for pastors, evangelists, church planters, lay leaders, and helpers. The ministry organizes seminars and provides training in both literary and non-literary methods of evangelism and discipleship. Because some communities include high levels of illiteracy, T.T.L. uses oral methods to help communicate the gospel and disciple believers. The organization also identifies Charis School of the Bible and Missions as part of its effort to develop future church planters and missionaries.
Beyond church planting and training, T.T.L. works through community development and children’s ministry. Its public materials describe assistance with school fees, medical costs, small-business grants, agricultural projects, schools, clothing, and wells for safe drinking water. The ministry also trains children’s ministry leaders, organizes Vacation Bible School programs, provides materials for children’s ministry, and starts Christian schools in West African communities with the aim of raising students who can serve their communities.
People can engage Training Tomorrow’s Leaders by praying, giving, volunteering, fundraising, contacting the ministry, or helping share its work with churches and families. The organization states that it depends on partnership to support church planters, training, community development, and children’s ministry efforts. Supporters can give through the ministry’s website or contact T.T.L. directly to learn about volunteer opportunities, events, and ways to help expand the work.

Christ For the City International (CFCI) is an international mission organization focused on urban ministry, local leadership, and holistic community transformation.

CFCI is based in Omaha, Nebraska, where its international office is located.

The organization reports workers across 16 countries and dozens of cities, with most staff serving as local or national missionaries in their own countries.
The ministry’s core focus is developing local ministry bases that address both spiritual and practical needs in cities. CFCI’s ministries include discipleship, youth outreach, medical care, education, community development, vocational training, children’s programs, feeding centers, gang ministry, health and dental clinics, and other locally shaped outreach efforts. Each ministry base is designed to understand the needs of its community and develop programs with local leaders, churches, educators, businesspeople, and partner ministries.
CFCI’s operating model emphasizes national leadership and long-term presence.

CFCI offers short-term mission experiences, U.S.-based Urban Plunge trips, international Global Teams, Global Ambassadors extended trips, and long-term missions.

Leadership and member care are part of ACM International’s operating structure. Executive Director Bob Wallace describes his role as providing tools, training, and resources for the organization’s vision and mission, supporting the spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial health of missionaries, increasing national awareness, inviting new team members, and expanding into new fields. Tim and Cheryl Doggett serve in Member Development, a department focused on training, ongoing support, and walking alongside new and existing ACM International field teams.
People can engage with ACM International by praying, giving, beginning a dialogue about mission service, completing an interest form, or supporting specific missionaries. The organization invites financial support online through its get-involved page and also receives mailed donations.

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.

Joshua Ministerial Conference & Conclave — Organization Profile
Joshua Ministerial Conference & Conclave is an annual ministry conference connected with Dr. Jeremy J. Flowers, Sr.’s preaching and leadership work and hosted through Gray Road Church of Christ in Cincinnati, Ohio. Public event materials describe it as a gathering designed to strengthen and encourage ministers and church workers through preaching, teaching, worship, and fellowship. Its public-facing content consistently presents the conference as a place where Gospel preachers, worship leaders, and ministry spouses can gather for development, encouragement, and shared ministry experience.
The conference’s mission appears in the way it is promoted year after year. Public posts for the event describe a focus on empowering and developing Gospel preachers, worship leaders, and their spouses, while livestream archives show a structured conference environment with themed sessions, featured speakers, and worship-centered programming. Conference videos and event promotions indicate that the gathering is more than a single service; it functions as a multi-day experience that combines keynote preaching, live worship, and special sessions under a unifying biblical theme. Recent conference programming has included themes such as I Still Believe and Let Freedom Ring, reflecting a sermon-driven and Scripture-centered approach.
Joshua Ministerial Conference & Conclave serves ministry participants primarily through Cincinnati, Ohio, the Cincinnati metropolitan area, and Northern Kentucky, while also drawing guests and speakers from other cities. Video titles and event postings show participation from ministers representing places such as Dallas, Fort Worth, Tampa, Chicago, and Louisville. That geographic pattern suggests a conference rooted in a local congregation but designed for a broader network of ministers, worship leaders, and churches. Because the event is livestreamed and promoted online, its reach extends beyond those who attend in person and allows other viewers to access selected conference sessions digitally.
Operationally, the conference works through hosted services, livestreamed sessions, speaker features, and event registration tools. Gray Road Church of Christ provides the host setting and media channels, while conference-related promotions tied to Dr. Flowers and the church help direct attendees to registration and conference updates. Public materials also show vendor registration and scholarship or sponsorship appeals connected to certain conference years, indicating that the event includes practical support structures beyond the preaching program itself. Those details point to a conference model that blends ministry content with logistical planning for attendees, participants, and supporters.
People can engage with Joshua Ministerial Conference & Conclave in several ways. Prospective attendees can follow the host church’s website, calendar, and media channels for updates; watch livestreamed sessions on YouTube; and monitor official social channels for announcements. Supporters may also respond to conference-related sponsorship opportunities when publicly posted. For ministers, worship leaders, and ministry spouses seeking biblical encouragement, ministry development, and connection with a wider preaching and worship network, Joshua Ministerial Conference & Conclave offers a recurring gathering centered on preaching, worship, and fellowship under the leadership of Dr. Jeremy J. Flowers, Sr. and the ministry context of Gray Road Church of Christ in Cincinnati.

Mission Indy Inc. — Organization Profile
Mission Indy Inc. is a Christian nonprofit ministry based in Indianapolis, Indiana. The organization equips and trains Christians to express the love of Jesus through service opportunities in the Indianapolis area. Its public mission is “Equip Christians to Serve Others,” and its vision is for local churches to be inspired to love their neighbors by serving in Indianapolis.
The organization’s core focus is training youth, adults, churches, interns, and ministry groups to serve others through local mission experiences that connect Christian faith with practical love for neighbors. Mission Indy grew out of service opportunities connected with Chapel Rock Christian Church in the late 1990s, when Ron and Marsha Greiner and other founding members sensed a call to help more churches experience mission service in the city.
Mission Indy serves Indianapolis, Indiana, especially the greater Indianapolis area, through partnerships with churches, ministries, agencies, and community organizations. Its model brings groups from rural, urban, and suburban churches into service opportunities where they can learn, serve, and return home better prepared to serve their own neighbors intentionally. The organization’s emphasis is not starting new ministries, but partnering with existing churches and ministries already serving in the city.
The ministry operates through summer programs, custom service opportunities, internships, prayer experiences, resources, and local partnerships. Mission Indy provides housing, food, showers, tools, materials, and site leadership so youth and adult groups can serve in the context of the city. Summer programming offers organized mission experiences for church groups, while custom opportunities can be designed for fall break, spring break, weekends, or other group schedules.
A distinctive part of Mission Indy’s work is combining hands-on service with training, encouragement, challenge, and motivation so participants carry mission practices back to their own communities. The organization also offers summer internship opportunities where interns serve and lead participating groups while gaining hands-on ministry experience. Its Intentional Formation Initiative is described as a fellowship program combining communal living, paid work, Kingdom learning, and local church engagement.
People can engage with Mission Indy by registering for summer programming, requesting custom opportunities, applying for internships, joining prayer efforts, donating, reading the newsletter, or contacting the staff directly. Churches, youth groups, adult groups, and individuals can participate through service experiences that help them practice the love of Jesus in Indianapolis and grow in their ability to serve where they live.

The college’s work is overseen by Thomaston Road Church of Christ (Macon, Georgia), with support from congregations and individual Christians in multiple places. In practice, this oversight model means the school operates as a mission-centered training effort rather than a stand-alone university system, with accountability and encouragement coming from partnering churches and supporters.
Mzuzu Bible College is structured around preparing men to teach and preach Scripture in local congregational settings and in evangelistic contexts. Partner updates connected to the work describe ongoing efforts that combine classroom instruction with practical ministry experience, including outreach and teaching that strengthen existing congregations and help develop new leaders for churches in Malawi.
Alongside teaching and preaching preparation, the school is also connected to broader gospel work in the region. Reports shared through the supporting church’s missions updates describe periodic preaching campaigns and continued instruction intended to encourage believers and help new Christians grow in discipleship. This reflects an operational rhythm that centers on local church ministry needs—raising up workers who can serve congregations and carry the gospel into nearby communities.
People can engage with Mzuzu Bible College by praying for the students and staff, sharing the work with congregations that value preacher training, and supporting the ministry financially through the overseer church’s missions structure. Interested supporters can also follow public updates and contact the school directly by email for basic inquiries.

West Virginia School of Preaching (WVSOP) Victory Lectures — Organization Profile
The West Virginia School of Preaching (WVSOP) is a preacher-training work conducted under the oversight of the elders of the Hillview Terrace church of Christ. Based in Moundsville, West Virginia, the school describes its mission as training men to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ through a rigorous course of Bible study and ministry preparation.
WVSOP’s annual lectureship is commonly known as the Victory Lectures. The Victory Lectures are organized as a theme-driven series of Bible lessons taught by speakers who are invited to address assigned topics. While the lectures take place in a defined setting, the school’s approach is intentionally broader: WVSOP seeks to provide teaching that can continue to serve congregations, preachers, and Bible students long after a single week of sessions.
One distinctive feature of the Victory Lectures is how WVSOP preserves and distributes the content. The school notes that it produces a book of the lectures each year for wider reading use. These lectureship books function as evergreen study resources, gathering coordinated lessons around a unified theme in a format that can be used for personal study, group classes, or sermon preparation.
In addition to printed material, WVSOP also makes lectureship teaching accessible through recorded media. The school maintains a lectureships page that includes individual sessions with audio and video options, and its YouTube presence hosts playlists of Victory Lectures content. This combination makes it possible for churches and individuals—whether nearby or far away—to learn from the lectures in an on-demand format and to revisit lessons as part of an ongoing study plan.
The Victory Lectures are also connected to WVSOP’s broader educational mission. WVSOP describes a two-year course of study designed to strengthen students’ comprehensive understanding of Scripture, alongside practical assignments that provide experience in preaching and teaching. In that context, the lectureship serves not only as an instructional resource for the wider church, but also as a public expression of the school’s commitment to serious Bible teaching.
For those who want to stay connected to WVSOP’s work beyond the lectures, the school publishes a quarterly newsletter, Publishing Peace, as a way to share updates and resources. WVSOP notes that information about lectureship books currently in print is included through Publishing Peace, making it a helpful gateway for locating printed teaching materials connected to past Victory Lectures.
People can engage with the WVSOP Victory Lectures in several evergreen ways: watch or listen to archived sessions online, build a congregational class series from a lectureship theme, request or purchase lectureship books through the school, subscribe to Publishing Peace, or support the work financially so WVSOP can continue training and resourcing gospel preachers.

North Carolina School of Biblical Studies — Organization Profile
North Carolina School of Biblical Studies (NCSBS) is a non-profit preacher-training program overseen by the elders of the Warners Chapel church of Christ. The school’s stated model combines two years of biblical education with a two-year associate minister internship, aiming to help men develop the knowledge and skills needed for evangelistic preaching and congregational service.
NCSBS is based in Clemmons, North Carolina, in the annex building of the Warners Chapel Church of Christ. The student handbook notes that the work is intended to strengthen brethren in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and throughout the world, reflecting both a regional emphasis and a broader vision for preparing workers who may serve wherever opportunities arise.
Academically, the school emphasizes courses “directly related to the work of the preacher and his family,” including biblical text study, apologetics, and homiletics. Course descriptions also describe a second educational focus: leadership studies for men who are or hope to become effective leaders (such as elders or deacons) in local congregations. This makes NCSBS relevant not only for full-time preaching goals, but also for men seeking grounded preparation for teaching and leadership.
NCSBS offers both on-campus and online learning. According to the school’s history and handbook, online classes began in Fall 2020, and on-campus classes began in August 2021. The website posts quarterly schedules and registrations, and also notes a regular chapel gathering on weekday mornings. As students progress, the internship phase is intended to provide supervised, hands-on experience in an associate minister role alongside a congregation and an experienced preacher.
Financially, NCSBS presents itself as accessible while still requiring students to provide key study tools. The school states there is no charge for tuition, with Warners Chapel bearing the majority of operational costs. Students are expected to have a usable laptop, obtain a NET Bible with full translators’ notes, and pay a $200 per quarter textbook charge as outlined in the enrollment information.
Those interested in engaging with NCSBS can start by reviewing the student handbook, current class schedule, and enrollment steps, then contacting the director to discuss admissions and start dates. Congregations and individuals who want to support the work can pray for students and instructors, encourage qualified men to pursue training, and help strengthen the ministry that provides structured instruction and internship opportunities under local-church oversight.

Mountain Mission School — Organization Profile
Mountain Mission School is a privately funded Christ-centered charity that serves as a home, church, and school for children with significant needs. Founded in 1921 in Grundy, Virginia, the school grew from the vision of Sam Hurley, who wanted to provide a safe place for children facing hardship. Its long-running work combines residential care, Christian formation, and classroom education in one campus community.
The school is based in Grundy, Virginia, in Appalachian Southwest Virginia, and it serves children and students from the United States and multiple countries around the world. Mountain Mission School describes its work in terms of “rescuing kids, raising leaders, and reaching nations.” Its student community includes children who have experienced poverty, homelessness, family instability, or other difficult circumstances, along with some local students who attend the school.
Mountain Mission School operates with a broad, whole-child approach. Its campus is designed to provide a nurturing home environment, quality education, and spiritual guidance. The school’s educational program serves students from kindergarten through high school, while its residential life program has also been described as serving children “from diapers to diplomas.” This structure allows students to receive daily care, academic instruction, meals, housing, mentoring, and Christian community in one setting.
Academically, Mountain Mission School’s K–12 education program has held joint accreditation through the Association of Christian Schools International and Cognia. The school’s model is not limited to classroom learning; it also includes athletics, music, student activities, and campus life. Its stated focus is on meeting emotional, physical, and spiritual needs while helping students grow in character, responsibility, and leadership.
Mountain Mission School’s work depends heavily on charitable support rather than a conventional tuition-based model. Individuals, churches, alumni, and partner organizations can engage by giving, praying for students and staff, sharing the school’s work with others, volunteering where appropriate, or helping provide practical support for student needs. Prospective families and referring adults can also contact the school directly to learn more about admissions and student placement.
For churches and supporters, Mountain Mission School represents a long-established Christian education and child-care ministry rooted in Appalachia but connected to a wider national and international student body. Its distinctiveness is the integration of residential care, school, and church life for children who need stability, education, and Christian guidance.

Covenant Groups — Organization Profile Covenant Groups is a discipleship initiative focused on helping men grow spiritually through two core practices: walking daily with God in His Word and walking deeply with other men in honest, accountable relationships. The ministry frames this approach as a shift away from discipleship that is primarily program- or curriculum-driven and toward training in lifelong habits that shape character and obedience. At the center of the Covenant Groups model is the belief that spiritual maturity is best nurtured in secure relationships—both with Jesus and with faithful brothers. Covenant Groups describes its small-group environment as “highly relational,” where men pursue maturity through shared honesty, encouragement, prayer, confidentiality, and voluntary accountability. Group leaders function as facilitators who…
Covenant Groups — Organization Profile
Covenant Groups is a discipleship initiative focused on helping men grow spiritually through two core practices: walking daily with God in His Word and walking deeply with other men in honest, accountable relationships. The ministry frames this approach as a shift away from discipleship that is primarily program- or curriculum-driven and toward training in lifelong habits that shape character and obedience.
At the center of the Covenant Groups model is the belief that spiritual maturity is best nurtured in secure relationships—both with Jesus and with faithful brothers. Covenant Groups describes its small-group environment as “highly relational,” where men pursue maturity through shared honesty, encouragement, prayer, confidentiality, and voluntary accountability. Group leaders function as facilitators who model faithfulness and care, helping the group stay focused on the commitments members make to one another.
To support consistent spiritual formation, Covenant Groups provides a structured set of tools called the Covenant Group Discipleship Series. The series is organized into training journals designed to develop devotional habits and spiritual disciplines alongside foundational Scripture. The journals are arranged in the Adventure Series (Journals 1–3) and the Challenge Series (Journals 4–6), with companion journals that can supplement either series. Covenant Groups notes that each journal is commonly structured around a roughly 12-week pace, making them practical for churches or ministries that want a repeatable discipleship rhythm.
A central “life skill” in the series is the daily Appointment With God (AWG)—a pattern of Scripture reading, reflection, application, and prayer. Covenant Groups pairs that daily rhythm with weekly meetings, where men share what they are learning, apply Scripture in real life, and support one another through encouragement and prayer. The goal is not simply accumulating information, but training in habits that sustain spiritual growth over the long haul.
Covenant Groups also provides guidance for ministry leaders who want to integrate this approach into an intentional discipleship pathway. The ministry encourages leaders to clarify a memorable discipleship “profile,” understand where men are in the discipleship process, and then choose tools that fit those needs. In that context, the Covenant Group journals function as a pathway for “growing disciples” who want to strengthen their walk with Christ through disciplined habits and covenant friendships.
For individuals and churches, engagement options are straightforward and evergreen: start or join a covenant group, use the journals as a structured discipleship plan, and reach out for training or ministry planning support. The ministry also invites partners to support the work financially, noting that giving helps expand opportunities to equip men in these practices.

The organization describes its mission as holistically transforming lives in Zambia through seven areas of outreach: educational enrichment and literacy development, vocational training, secure housing, medical care, nutrition, financial principles, and discipleship.
The organization’s core focus is helping impoverished women, men, youth, and the children under their care experience educational, economic, and eternal transformation through Christ-centered service.

The organization operates through seven connected outreach areas. Educational enrichment and literacy development include learning-center activities such as reading support, puzzles, tutoring, books, and games that help children and youth build memory, planning, problem-solving, and academic confidence. Vocational training includes practical skill-building connected to RecycloCraftz, while secure housing, medical care, nutrition, and financial principles address needs that affect family stability and long-term opportunity.

Winterfest is organized as a multi-track gathering that blends large-group sessions with teaching that is meant to be practical and accessible for teens. While specific session topics vary each year, the consistent purpose is to help students engage Scripture, strengthen conviction, and build friendships with other believers. Many youth groups use Winterfest as a “big anchor” moment in their annual discipleship rhythm—bringing students for shared learning, worship, and encouragement that carries back into the local church.
A notable distinctive of Winterfest is its multi-location approach. In addition to its long-established gathering in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Winterfest also hosts events in Fort Worth, Texas, and Arizona, serving churches and youth ministries from multiple regions. This format allows churches to participate in a similar experience while choosing a location that best fits travel distance and group logistics.
Winterfest supports participation with practical planning tools for youth leaders and parents. The official site provides registration access, location details, lodging guidance, directions, and vendor/exhibitor information to help groups coordinate travel and schedules. Winterfest also maintains a speaker/teacher listing so attending groups can understand the range of voices contributing to the program.
Beyond the in-person experience, Winterfest offers ongoing resources that extend year-round. The event promotes the Winterfest mobile app to provide devotional content and other attendee tools, and it also shares resources and historical archives that allow churches and individuals to revisit past sessions and materials for continued learning and encouragement.
For churches and families looking to engage, the best starting point is the official Winterfest website, where groups can find registration links by location, planning details for lodging and directions, and the central contact information for questions. Winterfest’s stated contact point is based in Edmond, Oklahoma, providing a consistent home-base for communication and coordination across its event locations.

The school traces its beginnings to 1978, when Norman Starling approached the elders of the Southwest Church of Christ with the idea of launching a Bible training school in Austin. Over time, what began as a one-year effort developed into a two-year program that operates across most of the year and is presented as tuition-free.
SWSBS centers its training around a comprehensive course of study through every book of the Bible, paired with related courses that support preaching, teaching, and ministry work. The school describes an educational approach structured toward New Testament Christianity, with a strong emphasis on preparing students for evangelism and for giving a thoughtful defense of the faith. In addition to Bible content, the school outlines a weekday class schedule framework and an overall program design intended to be both rigorous and spiritually formative.
The primary academic pathway is the Preaching & Ministry Program, which organizes coursework into four integrated divisions: Bible Exposition, Bible Studies, Bible Doctrine & Apologetics, and Bible Preaching. Course descriptions include topics such as hermeneutics, Greek, church and restoration history, archaeology and geography, organized doctrine and prophecy studies, and a preaching sequence aimed at equipping students to communicate biblical truth as gospel preachers and to do the work of an evangelist. This structure reflects SWSBS’s goal of pairing careful biblical study with ministry-ready training.
SWSBS also describes a Christian Women’s Study Program. While designed as an organized spiritual development program for the wives of Southwest students, it also encourages participation from women in the Southwest congregation and sister congregations in the area. The school frames this program as a setting for in-depth Bible instruction and relationship-building among women who want to grow in their understanding of Scripture and their ability to serve.
Beyond the two-year school program, SWSBS hosts the Southwest Servant’s Academy (S2A), a week-long academy designed for young Christians (ages 14–18) to grow in faith and in their ability to serve the church. S2A features courses taught by SWSBS faculty and Christian Women’s Studies instructors, and it aims to strengthen students as servants in the local congregation while increasing their regard for preaching and teaching as lifelong work. The school also highlights the broader reach of its alumni, noting graduates serving in many places and roles, including local ministry work, foreign teaching efforts, and support services such as media and publishing.

Team Expansion — Organization Profile
Team Expansion is a Christian missions agency focused on multiplying disciples and churches among unreached peoples. The organization is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, at Emerald Hills—its 61-acre campus designed for prayer, retreat, and learning. Team Expansion’s stated vision is “to see obedient disciples in every people and place,” and its work centers on helping followers of Jesus participate in the Great Commission through practical pathways for going, sending, and praying.
Team Expansion describes its ministry as being “born out of extraordinary prayer,” and that emphasis remains central through its Prayer Force and prayer resources. The organization’s core ministry aim is reaching unreached populations (defined on their site as 5% or less evangelical) through evangelism, church planting, and disciple-making movements. Team Expansion also notes a commitment to working in teams, coaching, and accountability, including a stated expectation that each worker provides supporters with a monthly report on progress, time, and money.
A distinctive part of Team Expansion’s work is training. Through its “Strategies & Training” approach, Team Expansion equips individuals and churches with tools for disciple-making in a variety of contexts—locally and globally. Examples highlighted by the ministry include disciple-making movement training (including Jonathan Training), digital strategies that use online platforms to connect spiritually curious people with local believers, marketplace ministry that integrates vocation with mission, and Community Health Evangelism (CHE) as a holistic approach that addresses physical, social, and spiritual needs through community-led solutions.
Team Expansion also provides multiple on-ramps for engagement, especially for those exploring cross-cultural ministry. Their “Find Your Mission” pathways include full-time missions, internships (Pathways), the Quest missions apprenticeship, short-term trips, and other roles that help prospective workers take next steps with guidance and preparation. The organization’s training and support structure is designed to help workers thrive long-term and to serve alongside local believers in places where access to the gospel is limited.
In its public history overview, Team Expansion traces its beginnings to a 1978 prayer meeting and the sending of its first team to Uruguay in 1982. The organization reports that it has sent more than 1,000 workers to 70+ fields, including creative-access locations. That global scope reflects Team Expansion’s commitment to supporting disciple-makers where traditional ministry access may be limited, while also encouraging churches and individuals to participate through prayer, giving, and sending.
People can engage with Team Expansion by joining the Prayer Force, giving through the general Impact Fund or toward specific workers and projects, and exploring opportunities to serve. Churches can also connect through partnership and coaching options. For those looking for a clear next step, Team Expansion emphasizes starting a conversation—learning what roles and training may fit, and then moving forward with the support, coaching, and accountability the agency provides.

e2: effective elders is a Christian leadership coaching and resource ministry focused on encouraging and equipping the shepherds of Christ’s church—elders. The organization serves elder teams and church staff by combining relational coaching with practical training and a growing library of print and digital resources. Alongside its coaching work, e2 publishes materials that help congregational leaders understand the biblical role of an elder and develop healthier leadership practices in real church settings.
e2 describes its beginnings in 2008, with later incorporation and recognition as a 501(c)(3) in 2012. From the start, the ministry’s stated focus has been singular: serving elders as they lead, shepherd, and guard the church. e2’s work often connects to churches and leaders within the Restoration Movement tradition, while its core leadership development emphasis is broadly applicable to elder-led congregations seeking clearer alignment, stronger shepherding, and healthier governance.
A major way e2 serves churches is through its books and bundled libraries. The “e2 Bundle” highlights the scope of its publishing: a set of thirteen books plus a JUMP START workbook. Titles in the series address both the inner life and outward responsibilities of elders—covering themes such as calling and character, leadership and shepherding, conflict resolution, church health, and practical next steps for teams. e2 also publishes specialty resources like An Elder’s Playbook (2nd Edition), presented as a collection of “plays” an elder team can use to address common leadership and ministry situations.
In addition to print resources, e2 offers digital libraries and video-based training. Its “e2 Talks” curriculum is described as a substantial bank of video instruction for elders, and the ministry also offers “e2 All Access,” a membership option that includes online formats of e2 books, embedded videos, and additional written resources. These tools are designed to make ongoing elder development possible for entire leadership teams, not only individual leaders.
e2 complements its publishing with coaching, events, and conference training. The organization states that it provides leadership coaching for elder and staff teams in both individual and group settings, including virtual options. e2 also maintains an active events calendar featuring teaching and conference participation—often in partnership with churches and Christian colleges—aimed at strengthening local-church leadership.
e2: effective elders lists its mailing location as Indianapolis, Indiana, and serves churches and elder teams across the United States and beyond through a mix of on-site and online resourcing. Leaders can engage with e2 by exploring the book catalog, purchasing digital training libraries, inviting e2 to train elders in local or regional settings, or starting a coaching conversation for an elder team. Supporters can also partner financially through the ministry’s giving options.

Gospel Chariot Missions — Organization Profile Gospel Chariot Missions (GCM) is a Christian missions organization focused on evangelism and disciple-making through a distinctive mobile approach. Based in Pretoria, South Africa, GCM describes its work as reaching people who are still seeking Christ while also supporting existing churches as they carry out local mission efforts. The ministry’s name comes from its purpose-built “gospel chariots”—trucks designed to function as a traveling preaching and teaching platform. GCM’s stated mission is to “invade Africa and the world” with Gospel Chariots preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and multiplying disciples and churches everywhere. The organization organizes its work by regions—Southern Africa, East Africa, and West Africa—and also publishes updates under “Beyond Africa,” reflecting a broader…
Gospel Chariot Missions — Organization Profile
Gospel Chariot Missions (GCM) is a Christian missions organization focused on evangelism and disciple-making through a distinctive mobile approach. Based in Pretoria, South Africa, GCM describes its work as reaching people who are still seeking Christ while also supporting existing churches as they carry out local mission efforts. The ministry’s name comes from its purpose-built “gospel chariots”—trucks designed to function as a traveling preaching and teaching platform.
GCM’s stated mission is to “invade Africa and the world” with Gospel Chariots preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and multiplying disciples and churches everywhere. The organization organizes its work by regions—Southern Africa, East Africa, and West Africa—and also publishes updates under “Beyond Africa,” reflecting a broader global emphasis in its reporting and training activity.
A defining feature of GCM is the construction and deployment of trucks that serve as a “church on wheels.” According to the organization, these vehicles can include sleeping quarters for evangelists, storage for literature and supplies, and a stage with a sound system for public preaching. GCM also notes the inclusion of a large tent and a baptistery to support teaching, gatherings, and immediate responses when people want to be baptized. This setup is designed for campaign-style outreach as well as follow-up visits as teams revisit areas on an ongoing schedule.
Alongside public evangelism, GCM emphasizes discipleship multiplication training using the “4 Fields” tools (presented through its partnership with Gospel Share Missions). The organization describes equipping believers and local leaders with reproducible methods for sharing the gospel and forming disciple-making groups. GCM also points people who want deeper study toward short-term schools and degree pathways through partner institutions, including Nations University, and it highlights relationships with World Bible School as part of its broader resourcing strategy.
Gospel Chariot Missions invites churches and individuals to engage through prayer, financial support, and staying connected through its updates and reports. For supporters, the organization provides online giving options and a planned giving pathway. For partners and interested learners, its website centralizes mission information, training tools connections, and ongoing regional reports that show where teams are serving and what training initiatives are underway.

Let’s Start Talking (LST) — Organization Profile Let’s Start Talking (LST) is a conversation-based outreach ministry that helps Christians build one-on-one English conversation friendships that naturally open the Bible. 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.

Let’s Start Talking (LST) — Organization Profile
Let’s Start Talking (LST) is a conversation-based outreach ministry that helps Christians build one-on-one English conversation friendships that naturally open the Bible. 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.

Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. — Organization Profile
Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. is a Christian prison ministry affiliated with the Independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ in the Restoration Movement. The ministry is focused on bringing the Gospel, pastoral care, chaplaincy, counseling, discipleship, and long-term support to incarcerated people, juvenile offenders, ex-inmates, and their families.
The ministry is based in Speedway, Indiana, and serves correctional settings and people connected to incarceration in Indiana, including county jails and state correctional facilities. Public ministry materials identify work connected to the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis, the Madison County Jail in Anderson, the Indiana Women’s Prison, and other correctional ministry contexts.
Shepherd's Heart Ministries takes its name from the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15. Its public materials describe a calling to go after people many others have written off, especially incarcerated youth and adults who are isolated, lonely, spiritually searching, or facing long sentences. The ministry’s approach combines biblical teaching, pastoral presence, personal testimony, correspondence, chaplaincy, counseling, and relational follow-up.
Shawn and Lynn Springer bring complementary experience to the ministry. Shawn’s story includes incarceration, spiritual transformation, Bible study, and a later call to return to correctional settings as a minister. Lynn has served in jail and prison ministry since 1987, with a particular focus on juvenile offenders, including youth who have been remanded to the adult system. Her work has included Bible studies, pastoral care, volunteer coordination, training, and long-term correspondence and visits with incarcerated people.
The ministry has served through Bible studies, pastoral care, Celebrate Recovery, chapel services, volunteer chaplaincy, juvenile ministry, correspondence with inmates, support for ex-inmates, and relationships with families affected by incarceration. Its public site also includes articles, testimony pages, prayer requests, recommendations, pictures, prison poems, and project-support information related to correctional ministry.
People can engage with Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. by praying, giving, contacting the ministry, reading ministry updates, supporting chaplaincy and counseling work, and helping provide spiritual and financial support for ongoing prison outreach. Its distinct contribution is Restoration Movement prison ministry rooted in lived experience, long-term jail and prison presence, juvenile offender care, and Gospel-centered discipleship for people affected by incarceration.
