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.

Nehemiah Next Level Up Summit (Georgia) — Organization Profile Nehemiah Next Level Up Summit (often referred to as the “Nehemiah Summit”) is a church leadership and ministry development gathering hosted in Atlanta, Georgia. The Summit is built to help congregations and ministry teams strengthen their work through church growth and development training, practical leadership tools, and biblically grounded instruction that addresses real ministry challenges.

Nehemiah Next Level Up Summit (Georgia) — Organization Profile
Nehemiah Next Level Up Summit (often referred to as the “Nehemiah Summit”) is a church leadership and ministry development gathering hosted in Atlanta, Georgia. The Summit is built to help congregations and ministry teams strengthen their work through church growth and development training, practical leadership tools, and biblically grounded instruction that addresses real ministry challenges.
A defining feature of the Nehemiah Summit is its focus on serving and connecting leaders within the Churches of Christ and the broader Restoration Movement. Reporting from Lipscomb University describes the Summit as an annual gathering of hundreds of African American Church of Christ leaders from across the nation, creating a space where ministers and ministry teams learn together, share wisdom, and build relationships that support long-term faithfulness in local church ministry.
The Summit’s programming emphasizes actionable ministry development rather than a single lecture-only format. Organizers describe the experience as featuring workshops, interactive sessions, and keynote-style teaching aimed at helping churches respond to contemporary ministry needs. Common areas of focus include leadership development, discipleship and spiritual formation, worship and congregational life, community engagement, and technology integration for ministry effectiveness.
Because the Summit is designed for whole teams—not just individual preachers—its sessions typically aim to strengthen the broader leadership capacity of a congregation. The stated intent is to help churches move from feeling “stretched thin” to building healthier ministry systems, clearer strategy, and stronger internal leadership development. In that sense, the Nehemiah Summit functions like continuing education for ministry teams, with training that can be applied in everyday church life.
The Nehemiah Summit is overseen and hosted by Dr. Orpheus J. Heyward, senior minister of Renaissance Church of Christ. The host congregation, Renaissance Church of Christ, is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and provides a local church framework for the Summit’s leadership and hospitality. For those looking to participate or connect, the most reliable starting points are the official Summit website and the host church’s event listing, which also provides the church’s contact channels.

Mathetes Philippine Youth Ministry — Organization Profile
Mathetes Philippine Youth Ministry, also known publicly through Mathetes Youth Center, is a Christian youth ministry serving in Digos City, Davao del Sur, Philippines. The ministry is connected with youth outreach, discipleship, community service, and Christian activities for young people in the Digos area. Public listings describe the youth center’s purpose as serving youth and one another with love, respect, and integrity.
The organization’s core focus is reaching and discipling youth through a welcoming Christian youth center, Bible-centered activities, fellowship, music, service, and local church connection. Mathetes Youth Center’s public updates regularly point to spiritual formation, the Great Commission, and young people becoming committed participants in Christian community. Its name, Mathetes, comes from the Greek word for “disciple,” which reflects the ministry’s emphasis on helping young people follow Jesus.
Mathetes Philippine Youth Ministry serves Digos City and surrounding communities in Davao del Sur, Philippines, especially youth who gather near the city center and nearby schools. The youth center has been publicly associated with Rizal Avenue, across from Digos City National High School, and current directory information lists its location at the 2nd Floor Legazpi Building, Rizal Avenue, Zone 2, Digos City. Partner church references identify the ministry as serving in Digos City on the island of Mindanao.
The ministry operates through youth center activities, Christian gatherings, online and in-person encouragement, music and discipleship presentations, community service, camps, and events for young people. Public posts and videos show activities such as Youth Center gatherings, YC Online Tambayan, music clinic recitals, discipleship presentations, youth encounters, movie activities, and service involvement connected with Digos City National High School. These activities provide a place for youth to gather, learn, build friendships, and hear biblical teaching.
A distinctive part of Mathetes Philippine Youth Ministry’s work is combining open youth-center hospitality with discipleship, creative activities, and relationship-based outreach. Public partner references mention Andy and Weng Lucagbo in connection with the ministry, while Mathetes Youth Center posts identify Andy Ericsson S. Lucagbo as a team leader. The ministry appears to function through local leadership, volunteer support, and partnership with churches that pray for and support its work.
People can engage with Mathetes Philippine Youth Ministry by praying for its youth outreach, following Mathetes Youth Center updates, contacting the ministry through its public Facebook page, connecting through partner churches, or supporting youth center activities and local discipleship efforts. Churches and individuals interested in youth ministry, mission partnership, and discipleship in the Philippines can use the available public links to learn more and make contact.

CrossWay Missions — Organization Profile
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.

Psalm 82:3 Mission — Organization Profile Psalm 82:3 Mission is a Christian nonprofit organization working to defend the weak and fatherless by empowering communities through foster care and sustainable community resources.

Psalm 82:3 Mission is developing 50 acres into a safe, Christ-centered children’s village and sustainable community center.

Psalm 82:3 Mission — Organization Profile
Psalm 82:3 Mission is a Christian nonprofit organization working to defend the weak and fatherless by empowering communities through foster care and sustainable community resources. The ministry takes its name from Psalm 82:3 and applies that biblical call through long-term care for vulnerable children, families, and communities in Liberia.
The organization is based in Lexington, Kentucky, and its field work is focused in Grand Bassa County, Liberia, West Africa. Psalm 82:3 Mission is developing 50 acres into a safe, Christ-centered children’s village and sustainable community center. Its public materials describe daily work among hundreds of children through foster care, education, medical care, agriculture, and church and community outreach.
Psalm 82:3 Mission’s model centers on five target areas: Foster Care, Church & Community, Education, Medical, and Agriculture. The foster care program provides safe homes and loving care for children. The education work includes Defenders Christian Academy, which the organization has expanded from primary education toward middle school. The medical work includes King Jesus Children’s Clinic, while agriculture and business initiatives are intended to support long-term sustainability and local income generation.
The ministry also employs a large Liberian staff team organized across departments including administration, foster care, education, medical care, church and community outreach, social work, agriculture, grounds, security, and transportation. This staffing structure reflects Psalm 82:3 Mission’s emphasis on local care, Liberian leadership, and sustainable community impact rather than short-term intervention alone.
Psalm 82:3 Mission invites churches, businesses, schools, families, and individuals to become partners in the work. Partnership options include student education support through Gatekeeper giving, staff support through Armor Bearer giving, full foster care sponsorship through Protector giving, and larger project support through Champion giving. The ministry also describes mission trips, meal packing events, collection drives, student scholarships, church presentations, special events, and prayer partnerships as ways to participate.
People can engage with Psalm 82:3 Mission by praying, giving, joining a mission trip, connecting the ministry with a church or school, supporting foster care and education, helping with needed supplies, sharing updates, or partnering through recurring support. Its distinct contribution is a Christ-centered foster care village and sustainable community center in Liberia that integrates child protection, education, medical care, agriculture, local employment, and church-based outreach.

Christian Arabic Services — Organization Profile
Christian Arabic Services (CAS) is a Christian mission organization focused on Arabic-speaking people, especially in Egypt and the wider Arab world. The organization’s public tagline is “Helping the Arab World Find Jesus,” and its work centers on spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the Arab world through church planting, leadership training, Christian literature, and benevolent service.
CAS is connected with ministry in Egypt and the Arab world, with support and donations handled through Ormond Beach, Florida. Its history is closely tied to Safaa Fahmi, who served for decades in Assiut, Egypt, before moving to Cairo to expand education, publishing, and village ministry. CAS describes Egyptian Christians as designing and implementing the educational and benevolent work, while the U.S.-based ministry serves as a helper through funding, teachers, and counsel.
The ministry serves Christian villages, churches, students, leaders, children, widows, orphans, and poor communities. CAS notes that Christian villages near major Egyptian cities may include thousands of people who have little access to basic Christian teaching, literacy resources, or practical support. The organization’s work includes training leaders, planting churches, printing Bibles and commentaries, running Vacation Bible School programs, operating training centers, teaching literacy and cooking classes, holding marriage seminars, and providing food, blankets, clothes, and medicine.
Education is a major part of CAS’s strategy. The organization reports that students from seven countries have studied in its seminar programs, with extension campuses in El-Minia, Sohag, Assiut, and Northern and Southern Sudan. Its leadership training is supported through teachers, seminar programs, and partnerships that strengthen Arabic-speaking Christian leaders for local ministry.
CAS also supports Christian publishing in Arabic. One major project is the Arabic Bible Commentary, a planned 50-volume commentary assembled by Safaa Fahmi with Arabic-speaking Egyptian scholars and writers. The project is designed as a commentary by and for Arabic-speaking people, with many Old Testament and New Testament volumes already in print and remaining volumes still awaiting publication.
People can engage with Christian Arabic Services by praying for the Arab world, giving online or by check, subscribing to the newsletter and prayer points, supporting a village, sponsoring a student through Hope International University, contributing to the Arabic Bible Commentary project, or participating in a custom-designed mission trip. Mission trip opportunities may include children’s work, women’s seminars, seminars for Christian leaders, literacy training, education, benevolence, medical help, or other ministry needs in Egypt.

Covenant Connections for Pastors — Organization Profile Covenant Connections for Pastors, Inc. is a ministry that connects pastors and ministry staff in soul care covenant groups designed for candid, confidential community.

Covenant Connections for Pastors — Organization Profile
Covenant Connections for Pastors, Inc. is a ministry that connects pastors and ministry staff in soul care covenant groups designed for candid, confidential community. The organization’s stated mission is to foster fellowship, mutual support, and spiritual growth among pastors and ministry staff—especially within the Restoration Movement—through biblical unity, mutual accountability, and shared mission. Its vision emphasizes “intentional, disciplined communities” where leaders develop “soul strength” and help one another serve well and finish well.
Covenant Connections operates from Carmel, Indiana, and serves ministry leaders across the United States through a model that blends in-person and virtual connection. The organization describes covenant groups as a healthy community where members commit to one another’s long-term well-being, making space to process both the “hard hits” and “heart hits” leaders carry. This approach is built for depth and trust over time rather than quick-fix support.
At the core of the ministry are three-year covenant groups. Participants gather for two in-person retreats each year and also meet virtually (one video meeting per month), creating a consistent rhythm of connection and encouragement. The group fee is set for the full three-year cycle; the site lists a 2026 group fee of $2,500 (with scholarship eligibility available by request). Covenant Connections also notes that participants cover their own travel, meals, and lodging associated with retreats.
Covenant Connections places special weight on the role of trained covenant group facilitators, describing the facilitator as a crucial element of the ministry. Alongside group leadership development, the organization offers a prayer-focused dimension through its prayer ministry, which aims to support pastors and pastoral staff through coordinated prayer and prayer teams. The site also provides resources connected to its soul-care emphasis, including the book Soul Strength by Dr. Alan Ahlgrim and a companion Discovery Journal designed to help readers engage the principles more deeply.
People can engage with Covenant Connections by registering for a group, connecting through the contact form, giving financially through the ministry’s donation options, and participating in or supporting the prayer ministry (including submitting prayer requests and subscribing to the monthly prayer letter). For churches and leaders seeking long-haul resilience, Covenant Connections presents covenant groups as a structured, relationship-centered way to pursue spiritual and emotional health while continuing to serve faithfully.

Africa Missions Association (AMA) — Organization Profile
Africa Missions Association (AMA) is a Christian missions partnership network that connects churches in the United States with like-minded churches and ministry efforts across Africa. AMA is US-based, with offices listed in Helotes, Texas, and West Columbia, South Carolina, and it describes its work as a “unified family of churches” supporting African churches through coordinated partnerships, resourcing, and ongoing reporting.
AMA’s stated mission is to support African churches in ways that include financial support, church-to-church partnerships, missionary identification and training, accurate reporting, and regular communication—all aimed toward the goal that “every African” can hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Its published vision is “a community of devoted disciples of Christ within walking distance of every African,” framing its work around strengthening local congregations and extending gospel presence into cities, towns, and villages.
A distinctive of AMA is how it organizes relationships between North American churches and African churches, including opportunities for partner churches to “pair up” with specific congregations. AMA also publishes a growing directory of churches it supports across West Africa, French West Africa, Central Africa, East Africa, and Southern Africa, reflecting a broad geographic scope and a commitment to serving established congregations as they mature, become self-supporting, and plant other churches.
AMA also oversees specific initiatives that focus on practical needs alongside local church ministry. Chance for Africa, launched in 2007, is an education support program that helps families connected to partner churches cover school-related expenses such as fees, books, uniforms, and meals. The program emphasizes student vetting and structured handling of donations through AMA’s administrative and financial processes, and it encourages monthly giving as a way to sustain student sponsorships over time.
In addition, AMA lists Visions + Dreams (V+D) as an affiliated program that mobilizes disciples and friends to meet identified needs in ICOC churches in Africa and surrounding communities. V+D organizes short mission trips (generally 10–14 days) that combine worship and fellowship with local congregations and service opportunities, and it also facilitates longer volunteer stays (30–90 days or longer) for individuals or small groups with teaching, mentoring, training, or professional skill contributions.
People can engage with AMA by partnering as a church, giving financially (one-time or recurring), subscribing for updates, and participating in trips or longer-term volunteer opportunities connected to AMA’s affiliated programs. For those exploring involvement, AMA provides public contact details and program pages to help churches and individuals connect with its leadership and learn more about current opportunities.

RestoringVision — Organization Profile
RestoringVision is a global nonprofit committed to creating equitable access to vision screening and near-vision eyeglasses for people living in poverty. Founded in 2003 by Mark Sachs, the organization addresses presbyopia, an age-related decline in near vision that can often be corrected with a simple pair of reading glasses. RestoringVision describes its goal as creating a world where everyone who needs eyeglasses has them.
The organization is based in San Francisco, California, with operations connected to Lockbourne, Ohio, and serves communities in more than 150 countries worldwide. Its work reaches people across Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and other regions where access to eye care and affordable eyeglasses is limited. RestoringVision especially focuses on people living on less than $2 a day.
RestoringVision operates through two primary programs: the Global Access Program and the Community Outreach Program. The Global Access Program is its largest program, working with global health and humanitarian NGOs, governments, and social enterprises to deliver vision screenings and eyeglasses in low- and middle-income countries. These projects may be integrated into clinics, health fairs, mobile clinics, pop-up vision camps, or broader eye-care services.
The Community Outreach Program equips nonprofits, churches, mission groups, and individuals with affordable eyeglasses so vision care can be included in medical trips, faith-based missions, and underserved community outreach. Through this program, partners can order near-vision eyeglasses, protective eyewear, sunglasses, and related resources for use in local and international service settings.
RestoringVision also provides partner training and resources for vision screenings and reading-glasses distribution. These resources support organizations that need practical guidance for dispensing reading glasses safely and effectively. The organization’s wider advocacy work places eye health within global health, education, livelihood, and poverty-reduction conversations, recognizing that clear vision can affect work, learning, independence, and daily life.
People can engage with RestoringVision by donating, becoming a program partner, ordering eyeglasses for mission or outreach use, supporting the Global Access Program, using partner training resources, or sharing the organization’s work with nonprofits, churches, mission teams, health partners, and donors. Its distinct contribution is large-scale vision access through partnerships that connect affordable eyeglasses, vision screenings, global health systems, and community outreach for people who otherwise may not receive basic eye care.

Teach The Unreached — Organization Profile
Teach The Unreached is a Christian education and missions initiative that connects teachers and school leaders with classroom opportunities in unreached regions of the world. The organization’s website describes its work with the phrase “Where classrooms become mission fields in unreached places.” Its focus is placing qualified educators in schools located in some of the world’s least reached regions, where students and staff may come from many backgrounds, including non-Christian backgrounds.
The organization’s core mission is to help teachers bring both knowledge and hope into educational settings where Christian witness and educational service intersect. Teach The Unreached presents teaching as a form of mission engagement, emphasizing that classrooms can be places where students are served through academic instruction, personal care, and faithful presence. Rather than presenting only short-term volunteer roles, the organization lists professional school positions that require instructional skill, cultural adaptability, and commitment to serving overseas.
Teach The Unreached serves schools, students, and educators connected with unreached regions around the world. Its public materials do not identify every country or school location, which is common for ministries working in sensitive contexts. The website describes partner schools in least reached regions where students and staff come from a variety of backgrounds. The ministry’s geographic scope is therefore global in orientation, with a special focus on communities where gospel access is limited and where education can become a meaningful bridge for service.
The organization operates by recruiting educators for specific school roles. Publicly listed openings include Elementary English Teacher, Middle School English Teacher, Secondary Humanities Coordinator, Secondary Assistant Principal, Robotics and Technology Teacher, and Middle School / High School Mathematics Teacher. These roles show that Teach The Unreached is not limited to one classroom level or subject area; it seeks teachers and school leaders who can serve across elementary, middle school, and secondary education, including humanities, mathematics, English, technology, and school administration.
Teach The Unreached also describes practical support for its staff. Publicly listed benefits include a salary for teachers, arranged housing within walking distance of the school, one annual flight to and from the staff member’s home country, a living stipend, local health insurance, and a spiritual community. These details indicate that the organization’s model is structured to help educators live and serve sustainably while overseas, rather than requiring them to navigate every logistical need on their own.
People can engage Teach The Unreached by exploring open teaching and school leadership roles, submitting the website’s Get Connected form, praying for educators serving in unreached contexts, or sharing the opportunity with qualified teachers who may be open to international service. Churches and Christian educators interested in missions, education, and unreached peoples can view Teach The Unreached as a pathway for professional teaching service in places where classroom work and mission presence are closely connected.

Lubbock Christian University (LCU) — Organization Profile
Lubbock Christian University (LCU) is a private Christian university affiliated with the Churches of Christ, based in Lubbock, Texas, serving students across the South Plains of Texas and beyond through on-campus and online learning. The university describes itself as a Christ-centered academic community that aims to integrate faith and learning while preparing students for work, service, and leadership in their communities.
LCU’s stated mission is “transforming the hearts, minds, and hands of students for lives of purpose and service.” This emphasis shows up in the way LCU frames its identity and campus life: academic development is paired with spiritual formation and community expectations shaped by Christian conviction. LCU also states a vision to be a leading Christian university marked by academic excellence and a commitment to faith that seeks understanding, where wisdom is pursued, vocation is discerned, and service is fostered.
Founded in 1957 by members of the Churches of Christ, LCU was established to prepare and equip students for lives of Christian service. While rooted in that tradition, the university also notes that it welcomes students from different faith backgrounds and perspectives, emphasizing hospitality and a community ethos built around dignity, integrity, and thoughtful engagement.
Academically, LCU offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees across more than 65 areas of study, with options to learn in person and online. The university highlights a student-focused approach that includes mentoring relationships with faculty and campus resources intended to support learning, career preparation, and student success. For prospective students, LCU’s admissions pathways include campus visits, application steps, financial assistance guidance, and direct connections with admissions advisors.
Campus faith life is a distinct part of LCU’s experience. The university points to practices such as Bible classes and chapel, along with service opportunities and mission experiences. These rhythms are designed to help students grow spiritually while building habits of service and engagement that extend beyond the campus into local churches and community partnerships.
People can engage with LCU in several practical ways. Prospective students can visit campus, connect with an admissions advisor, and apply for undergraduate or graduate programs. Alumni, families, and friends can support LCU through charitable giving, including gifts directed to specific priorities like scholarships and academic programs. Churches and community partners can also connect through events and ongoing university initiatives that align with LCU’s focus on education, faith formation, and service.

Hope for Haiti’s Children — Organization Profile
Hope for Haiti’s Children, also known as HFHC, is a Christian nonprofit based in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving children and families in Haiti. The organization strives to demonstrate Christian compassion to poverty-bound Haitian children and their families, providing opportunities for children to become leaders in their homes, churches, and communities.
The organization’s core focus is helping Haitian children grow spiritually, academically, physically, and socially through Christian education, sponsorship, healthcare, food, orphan care, and leadership development. HFHC’s work is shaped by a desire to serve vulnerable children in practical ways while helping raise up future Christian leaders in Haiti.
Hope for Haiti’s Children serves Haiti, working with Haitian churches, schools, staff, and local Christian professionals. The organization states that its Haiti work is locally operated by trusted Haitian Christian professionals and is recognized by the government of Haiti as an official non-governmental organization, Espoir Pour Les Enfants d’Haiti.

Its food and water efforts include school lunch support and hunger relief, while Christmas Joy Boxes provide simple gifts and encouragement for children in Haiti.

The ministry seeks not only to meet immediate needs but also to help children grow into leaders who can bless their families, churches, and communities.

Church of Christ Plants — Organization Profile
Church of Christ Plants is a missions and church-planting effort formed in 2014 by Bill Stewart and Pam Stewart with a stated mission of reaching souls with the gospel of Jesus Christ in places where there is not a church of Christ. The ministry works with a traveling team that conducts evangelism, Bible studies, and follow-up support aimed at establishing new congregations and strengthening local leadership.
The work is administered under the oversight of the Wynne Church of Christ in Wynne, Arkansas, and it operates with a global scope. Rather than focusing on one region, Church of Christ Plants describes a pattern of going where opportunities are available, especially where long-term local congregations are not yet established. This includes international outreach that has involved locations such as Ulyanovsk, Russia and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, among other places where the team has sought to encourage new congregations and discipleship.
A distinctive part of Church of Christ Plants’ approach is its partnership with World English Institute (WEI). Through this relationship, the team connects with students who have been learning English through Bible-based materials and then arranges in-person receptions and conversational Bible studies in those cities. The goal is not only to teach, but to help seekers understand and respond to the gospel, and to connect new believers to ongoing discipleship and local church life.
Church of Christ Plants also describes its field strategy as using Pauline mission methodology—teaching the gospel, identifying potential local leaders, and training them to preach and evangelize in their own country. The team notes that they may return to previously established areas to encourage and support the developing congregation. This emphasis on local leadership development is intended to help new works continue beyond the short-term presence of a visiting team.
Individuals and churches can engage with Church of Christ Plants by learning about its mission, following newsletters and updates, praying for open doors and local leadership development, and supporting the travel and ministry costs connected with international trips. The organization also shares stories and summaries of its work through its website resources, including pages highlighting locations where congregations have been planted or encouraged.

American Indian Christian Mission — Organization Profile
American Indian Christian Mission is a Christian nonprofit ministry focused on evangelizing and equipping Native Americans for Christ. The ministry is often identified by the abbreviation AICM and describes its work through a three-fold focus: the AICM boarding school, outreach to families of students, and the Apache Christian Connection, also known as the Blue Bus ministry. Its stated purpose is to help Native Americans hear the gospel, grow in Christ, and be equipped for lasting influence in their communities.
AICM is based in Show Low, Arizona, and its ministry focuses especially on the Navajo and White Mountain Apache people. The organization serves Native communities in the White Mountains of Arizona, including outreach connected with the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. AICM’s campus provides a residential school environment, while its outreach ministries extend beyond campus to families, churches, and reservation communities.
The American Indian Christian School began in 1985 and serves students through a Christ-centered boarding school model. AICM states that the school is designed to produce well-educated Christian leaders who can positively affect their communities and culture. Students live on the mission campus during the school week and return home on weekends. The school provides classes for students in third through ninth grade, along with housing, meals, transportation, chapel, Bible classes, and daily care from Christian staff and house parents.
AICM also operates family outreach that takes the gospel directly to the families of students. The ministry’s stated concern is that long-term change requires reaching the home, not only providing care while students are on campus. Through this work, staff and volunteers seek to build relationships with families, encourage students’ parents and relatives, and connect the school’s ministry with the broader life of Native communities.
Another major part of AICM’s work is the Apache Christian Connection, or Blue Bus ministry, which reaches children and families on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. AICM uses converted blue buses to visit locations on the reservation several days a week, year-round. Children are picked up for Bible stories, games, crafts, and relationship-building, and families are invited to connect with White Mountain Apache Christian Church or Cibecue Christian Church.
People can engage with American Indian Christian Mission by praying, giving, sponsoring a child, volunteering on campus, serving with a ministry team, applying for employment, or helping meet department needs. AICM offers short-term ministry team opportunities for groups who want cross-cultural ministry experience in the White Mountains of Arizona, and it also welcomes volunteers who can assist with students, campus projects, maintenance, and weekly reservation outreach.

Otem Collective — Organization Profile
Otem Collective is a Christian-informed nonprofit organization working to strengthen families and communities so vulnerable children can grow up in safe, stable families rather than residential care. The organization’s name comes from a Leblango word describing a village gathering place around a fire, symbolizing family, community, teaching, and belonging.
The organization is based in Orlando, Florida, and its program work is focused in Northern Uganda. Otem Collective’s vision is to see a generation of Ugandan children raised in families, breaking the cycle of family separation and poverty. Its public materials emphasize that poverty is a major driver of child-family separation in Uganda and that many children in residential care have living parents or relatives.
Otem Collective operates through family strengthening, care reform, local partnerships, and trauma-informed caregiver support. Its work is designed to address the root causes that lead families to place children in orphanages. Instead of focusing primarily on institutional care, the organization supports family-based solutions that help children remain with or return to family whenever safely possible.
The organization’s family-strengthening work includes parent support groups, savings groups, agriculture initiatives, and caregiver training. Otem Collective also provides technical support and coaching to orphanages as they move toward family-centered care. Its use of Trust-Based Relational Intervention®, or TBRI®, reflects a focus on helping caregivers respond to children affected by trauma, neglect, or separation with practical, attachment-based tools.
Partnership is central to Otem Collective’s model. The organization states that sustainable change is best carried out through local leadership and grassroots organizations that understand the culture, national systems, and needs of the communities they serve. Its partners have included AMACOD in Uganda, and its strategy includes working with parents, caregivers, community leaders, orphanage leaders, and local organizations.
People can engage with Otem Collective by giving, serving as volunteers, joining the prayer team, subscribing for updates, supporting monthly or one-time gifts, and sharing its work with churches or communities interested in family-based care. Its distinct contribution is reshaping orphan and vulnerable-child care by placing families at the center of the solution in Northern Uganda.

Connect Conference (Nashville) — Organization Profile
Connect Conference is an annual Christian gathering hosted by the Crieve Hall Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee. The conference is built to help Christians and congregations strengthen their shared mission through discipleship, evangelism, and spiritual growth, bringing together attendees from across the United States for Scripture-centered teaching, worship, and encouragement.
According to its stated mission and description, Connect Conference is intentionally focused on the Great Commission—seeking to train and motivate disciples to evangelize the lost and bring souls to Jesus Christ. In practice, that purpose is expressed through keynote-style lessons, classroom sessions, and a schedule designed to address practical needs in congregational life. The goal is not merely inspiration, but equipping that can translate into faithful action in everyday relationships, family life, and local church ministry.
The conference is organized to serve a wide range of attendees, including individuals, families, and church leaders. Its programming commonly includes interactive learning environments, opportunities for fellowship with other Christians, and shared worship through congregational singing. Because the event is hosted by a local congregation with support from multiple churches and partner organizations, it also functions as a regional hub for collaboration—encouraging churches to learn from one another and return home with clear next steps for disciple-making.
Connect Conference also provides practical tools beyond live sessions. The official site includes a downloads area with promotional and presentation resources, and the conference maintains an online video presence for keynote livestreams and archived recordings. This makes it possible for churches, small groups, and individuals to reuse lessons for continued study, teaching, and encouragement throughout the year.
For those who want to engage, the simplest starting points are the conference’s About and FAQ pages, which summarize the conference purpose and participation expectations, along with the exhibits information for organizations that want to serve attendees. Churches and individuals can also follow the official social accounts for public updates and use the contact page for conference-related questions.

Say Yes To Japan — Organization Profile
Say Yes To Japan is a Christian missions information and networking ministry that serves as an unofficial bulletin board for Christian Church/Church of Christ missionaries in Japan. The ministry showcases current missionaries, points readers toward resources, and helps churches and individuals better understand the spiritual needs and mission opportunities in Japan.
The ministry is associated with the Christian Church / Church of Christ and focuses on Japan, Japanese people, and Japan-related mission connections in the United States and other countries. Say Yes To Japan represents Japan and Japan missionaries each year at the International Conference on Missions, usually held in November. Its website states that the ministry brings decades of Japan missions experience to this work.
Say Yes To Japan began through a cooperative Japan missions exhibit at the 1999 National Missionary Convention. The exhibit was created to help renew interest in Japan missions, and it has been operated by missionaries on furlough, former missionaries, and mission recruits. That history reflects the ministry’s core role: connecting people who care about Japan with those already serving, praying, recruiting, teaching, or preparing for mission work.
The organization’s website provides several practical resource areas. Its Missionaries section includes photos, summaries, and contact information for current Christian Church/Church of Christ missionaries serving in Japan. Its Job Ideas section points readers toward possibilities such as teaching at Christian schools, teaching English, and exploring creative ministry options. Its Resources section gathers links for Japanese-language Bible study and Christian media, churches in Japan, Japanese language and culture, Japan news, college-related resources, Christian organizations, missionary sending organizations, and prayer and outreach tools.
Say Yes To Japan also serves people who are exploring mission service. The ministry states that it advises potential Japan mission workers of all ages, educates readers on Japan’s spiritual climate, offers strategies for prayer and witnessing to Japanese people living in the United States, connects Japanese seekers to Christians and churches, communicates with missionaries to encourage and assess needs, and networks with missionaries of other denominations, Christian organizations, and campus ministries.
People can engage with Say Yes To Japan by using its missionary directory, contacting the ministry for personalized guidance, visiting its ICOM exhibit, exploring job and mission resources, praying for Japan, sharing Japan-related mission needs, and connecting with missionaries or sending agencies listed on the site. Its distinct contribution is a specialized Japan missions hub that connects churches, potential workers, missionaries, seekers, and resource organizations for Gospel work among Japanese people.

Forgiven Much Ministries — Organization Profile
Forgiven Much Ministries, also known as FMM, is a Christ-centered ministry founded in 2007 to address sexual addiction, unwanted sexual behaviors, betrayal trauma, and the need for safer recovery support within the church. The organization describes itself as a Christian sexual addiction ministry that provides education for healthy intimacy and sexual development through Core Issue Addiction Recovery principles.
The organization’s core focus is helping Christians pursue sexual wholeness through Christ-centered, trauma-informed recovery, support groups, training, and discipleship. Its stated purpose is to help people find the gospel through addiction recovery with a focus on sexuality. FMM teaches about what takes place in the spirit, soul, and body on the journey toward wholeness, with a vision for the church to become a safe place where people can know others and be authentically known.
Forgiven Much Ministries serves people seeking recovery from sexual addiction, people struggling with pornography or unwanted sexual behaviors, spouses affected by betrayal trauma, ministry leaders, churches, counselors, and believers who want to help others. Its website emphasizes online groups and training, giving the ministry a reach beyond one local area. The organization also identifies connections to Africa through an FMM affiliate page and provides Spanish resources for broader access.
FMM operates through gender-specific recovery groups, spouse betrayal trauma groups, educational workshops, coaching, mentoring, and online training. Its support groups use the L.I.F.E. Recovery Model and Core Issue Addiction Recovery methodology to address the wounds and false beliefs that can drive addictive behavior. The organization states that its online groups provide a safe environment where participants can move out of shame and isolation into community, accountability, prayer support, and healthy intimacy skills.
A distinctive part of Forgiven Much Ministries’ approach is training and mobilizing Christians to plant and sustain safe, core issue recovery support groups within the church. Its Associate Study Certificate is described as an entry point for people who want to understand trauma-informed Core Issue Addiction Recovery methodology and gain practical help for mentoring or starting a support group. FMM also works alongside anti-human-trafficking efforts through demand reduction initiatives that address the demand for commercial sex.
People can engage with Forgiven Much Ministries by joining a men’s, women’s, or spouses’ recovery group, attending an online workshop, enrolling in training, requesting coaching, using recovery resources, subscribing to ministry updates, praying for the ministry, or giving financially. The organization invites people who need help, want to book an event, or have questions to contact the ministry directly by email.

Mulberry International — Organization Profile
Mulberry International is a U.S.-based Christian nonprofit focused on humanitarian aid and gospel-centered ministry in Ukraine. Founded in 1997, the organization works primarily among vulnerable populations affected by poverty, displacement, and war. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, Mulberry International operates through partnerships with local churches and ministry leaders to meet both physical and spiritual needs.
The organization’s mission is to share the hope of Christ while alleviating suffering among Ukrainians by strengthening local Christian ministries and equipping churches to carry out the Great Commission. This dual emphasis on relief and discipleship shapes all of its work, especially in regions heavily impacted by conflict. Since the escalation of war in Ukraine, Mulberry has expanded its efforts to include internally displaced persons and refugees, responding to one of the largest humanitarian crises in Europe in recent history.
Mulberry International serves communities across Ukraine, particularly in eastern and southern regions such as Donetsk and other front-line areas, where infrastructure and access to basic necessities have been severely disrupted. The organization operates through a network of regional ministry centers and trusted local partners, allowing it to deliver aid efficiently while maintaining a strong relational presence. Their approach prioritizes long-term impact by empowering Ukrainian believers to lead and sustain ministry efforts within their own communities.
The ministry’s work includes humanitarian aid distribution, evacuation assistance, children’s care, and church-based outreach initiatives. Teams provide food, clean water, clothing, firewood, and medical supplies to those in crisis. In addition, Mulberry has been involved in evacuating civilians from dangerous areas and helping rebuild homes damaged by war. A longstanding focus of the organization is caring for orphans and at-risk children, including support for children’s homes and family-based care environments.
A defining distinctive of Mulberry International is its commitment to integrating practical aid with spiritual encouragement, often working through local churches to share the gospel alongside relief efforts. This model not only addresses immediate needs but also fosters community restoration and discipleship. By building the capacity of indigenous ministry partners, Mulberry seeks to create sustainable, locally led expressions of Christian service and outreach.
Individuals and churches can engage with Mulberry International in several ways, including financial support, prayer partnerships, and ministry collaboration. The organization invites supporters to participate in its mission by contributing resources, advocating for those affected by the war, and partnering in efforts to bring both relief and the message of Christ to those in need.

Nashville School of Preaching and Biblical Studies — Organization Profile
The Nashville School of Preaching and Biblical Studies (often abbreviated NSP) is a non-accredited Bible training program operated under the oversight of the elders of the Crieve Hall Church of Christ. The school exists to equip Christians for ministry by providing Bible and Bible-related instruction that trains Bible teachers and gospel preachers to work with churches of Christ, while welcoming any student committed to learning and doing God’s will.
NSP is based in Nashville, Tennessee, meeting at the Crieve Hall Church of Christ campus on Trousdale Drive. Its student body includes adults with varied backgrounds—ranging from full-time ministers and Bible teachers to families and church members who want deeper understanding of Scripture. The school’s format is intentionally accessible for working adults, with structured classes offered in an organized “school situation” and an emphasis on consistent study habits.
Instruction is delivered through term-based evening schedules. During Fall and Spring terms, NSP meets three nights each week—Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday—for thirteen weeks, with 50-minute class periods beginning at 6:00, 7:40, and 8:40 p.m. The Summer term runs for eight weeks and meets on Tuesday evenings, and the school also offers opportunities to participate via ZOOM-based learning (including short courses offered during Summer terms in recent years).
NSP offers two primary certificate tracks: a Preaching Certificate and a Biblical Studies Certificate. The school notes that men may complete either course of study, while women may complete the Biblical Studies Certificate track. For students pursuing completion, 36 credits are required for graduation, and each course typically counts as one credit. At the same time, students can attend classes for learning without necessarily aiming for graduation, building a schedule that fits their needs and stage of life.
A key distinctive of NSP is that there are no fees from registration through graduation (though students may need to purchase textbooks for certain classes). In addition to classroom instruction, students benefit from onsite resources, including a substantial library collection made available to support serious Bible study. Those who want to engage can review the current term schedule, pre-register as directed for individual classes, and participate in person or online as the term offerings allow.

The Christian Evangelizing Association of Kansas — Organization Profile
The Christian Evangelizing Association of Kansas, often identified as CEA Kansas, is a church-planting ministry focused on helping start and strengthen congregations across the state. On its website, the organization describes its work in terms of planting churches for the glory of God and the good of communities and transforming Kansas one church at a time. Its mission page says the association believes every person in Kansas should have access to a viable community of faith expressed in the New Testament, and it frames its work around both establishing new churches and supporting existing ones.
CEA Kansas is based in Kansas and directs its efforts across the entire state of Kansas. The organization’s public materials emphasize statewide partnership, encouraging churches, individuals, and church-planting networks to work together in strengthening congregations and expanding gospel presence in local communities. Rather than serving only one city or region, the association presents itself as a networked ministry designed to help identify opportunities for new churches in communities throughout Kansas and to support those efforts over time.
According to its mission page, the organization has roots going back to the 1950s and says the movement that became the CEA formally took shape in 1965. It states that more than 40 churches have been started in Kansas through these efforts. The site explains that its site selection and church planter committees identify locations that would benefit from a Christian church and evaluate individuals who may plant and establish those congregations. CEA Kansas also says it provides start-up funds, a management team, and a salary for three years for the starting pastor, showing that its model combines assessment, financial support, leadership oversight, and ongoing partnership rather than simply offering one-time grants.
The association also maintains a current church plants page that highlights congregations connected to its work, including Impact Christian Church in Independence, Harvest Christian Church in Winfield, and The District Church in Wichita. Those listings help illustrate how the ministry operates in practice: supporting church plants in specific Kansas communities and publicly connecting visitors to those congregations. The executive board page further explains that the executive director’s work includes maintaining relationships with contributors, raising support, recruiting and assisting church planters, and building partnerships with churches and networks to make the association more effective in planting and supporting churches.
People can engage with the Christian Evangelizing Association of Kansas in several practical ways. The organization invites supporters to get involved, donate, and make contact through its website. Its donation page includes both an online giving option and a mailing address for offline gifts, while its contact page provides a public form for inquiries. For churches, donors, and prospective partners, CEA Kansas presents itself as a church-planting association serving Kansas communities through partnerships, funding, planter support, and long-term congregational development. Its public-facing message remains centered on starting and strengthening churches across Kansas through collaborative ministry.

One Mission Society — Organization Profile
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.
People can engage with One Mission Society by praying, giving, supporting missionaries, giving to projects, applying for mission service, exploring internships, connecting with a missions coach, inviting OMS to speak, or partnering as a church. 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.

Healing Hands International (HHI) — Organization Profile
Healing Hands International (HHI) is a Christian humanitarian relief and development organization whose stated mission is to aid, equip, and empower those in need around the world in the name of Jesus Christ so they might experience God’s healing grace. HHI describes its work as meeting practical needs while partnering with local leaders and churches so communities can move toward long-term resilience rather than short-term fixes.
HHI is based in Nashville, Tennessee, with programs and partnerships that extend around the world. The organization’s model centers on equipping people closest to the need—local community and church leaders—with tools, training, and resources that can be sustained and multiplied within their own context.
HHI carries out its mission through five primary program areas. Clean Water focuses on providing access to safe drinking water through wells and filtration systems. Hunger to Harvest equips communities to fight hunger through basic gardening and sustainable agricultural techniques, often delivered through workshops and hands-on training. Women of Hope supports women through education, small business training, savings group facilitation, and microfinance so women can strengthen their families and communities. The MAGI Project provides gift boxes intended to meet tangible needs of children living in poverty while opening relational opportunities to share Jesus with families and communities. Disaster Response provides relief after tragedy and supports recovery through efforts such as rebuilding, distribution of supplies, and other resilience-focused projects.
Because volunteer participation is woven into how several programs function, HHI offers multiple ways for individuals and churches to engage. Supporters can donate to specific program areas (water, hunger, women’s empowerment, MAGI, or disaster response), participate in events like Walk4Water, and help pack or coordinate MAGI boxes. The organization also shares updates and stories to help partners understand where support is being directed and how programs are implemented.
For those exploring deeper involvement, HHI provides pathways to volunteer, give, and learn through its program pages, stories, and communications. Whether someone’s next step is praying, hosting an event, supplying a kit, sponsoring a project, or contributing financially, HHI frames engagement as joining a practical, on-the-ground effort to serve communities in Christ’s name.

Christian Relief Fund (CRF) — Organization Profile
Christian Relief Fund (CRF) is a Christian humanitarian organization focused on empowering orphans and vulnerable children to break the cycle of poverty through practical care and gospel-centered support. CRF describes its approach as “holistic,” working to address needs that touch daily life—like food, education, and healthcare—while also supporting spiritual growth through Bible teaching and partnership with local believers.
CRF is based in Amarillo, Texas, and serves children and communities in more than 20 countries worldwide through long-term programs and field teams. Their work includes locations such as Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nicaragua, Romania, Uganda, Ukraine, the United States, Zimbabwe, and additional countries where CRF partners are active. This geographic spread reflects CRF’s commitment to sustained ministry in diverse cultural and economic contexts.
A defining feature of CRF is its Luke 2:52 model, which centers on helping children and communities grow intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially. Rather than focusing on only one type of need, CRF aims to support whole-person development. In practice, this framework shows up in how CRF designs projects, evaluates impact, and communicates goals to sponsors, donors, and partner churches.
CRF identifies two core areas of work: Child Sponsorship and Clean Water Projects. Child sponsorship provides ongoing support for children’s essentials and development, with sponsors contributing a monthly gift that helps fund local programs. Clean water projects include efforts that improve reliable access to safe water and strengthen community health. CRF also notes additional ministry involvement that can include disaster relief response, schools and educational support, medical-related assistance, and support connected to church and leader training in various settings.
Engagement with CRF is structured around practical next steps. Individuals and churches can sponsor a child, give toward clean water or broader needs, or select specific giving options through CRF’s gift catalog. CRF also offers opportunities for deeper involvement through mission awareness trips that help participants learn from believers and ministry partners in other cultures. For supporters who want to expand CRF’s reach locally, the CRF Ambassador Program offers a pathway to share CRF’s work in communities, churches, workplaces, and online.

Bear Valley Bible Institute (BVBI) is a Bible training school dedicated to preparing men and women for ministry through intensive, text-focused study of Scripture. BVBI describes its teaching as rooted in God’s Word and aimed at shaping leaders whose convictions and ministry decisions are grounded in the Bible. The institute serves those pursuing preaching, missions, and other ministry roles by combining classroom learning with practical training and mentorship.
BVBI is based in Denver, Colorado, at its Lamar Street campus. From this location, the institute equips resident students for local congregational work and broader gospel efforts. In addition to its Denver program, BVBI supports a network of International Schools (extension schools) that provide preacher training in multiple regions, allowing students to be equipped for ministry within their own cultures and communities.
The core academic pathway is the Preaching Program, a two-year course of study leading to a Bachelor of Biblical Studies (BBS). BVBI states that the program totals 136 semester hours, including a large concentration in Bible book studies. A distinctive feature is the emphasis on direct engagement with the biblical text—BVBI notes that students receive 942 classroom hours studying Bible books during the two-year program. Alongside coursework, students also receive practical experience through preaching, teaching, evangelism, and ministry assignments designed to strengthen both content and delivery.
BVBI also highlights that there is no tuition for the two-year Bachelor’s Degree Program. The institute explains that students should plan for books, school materials, minor fees, and living expenses, but that tuition is not charged for the program. This model reflects BVBI’s goal of lowering barriers to ministry preparation while maintaining a structured, in-person training environment.
Beyond the preaching track, BVBI offers a Women’s Program designed specifically for women who want deeper Bible knowledge and practical preparation for service. The institute also provides a Graduate Program that leads to advanced study in biblical studies for those seeking further development in teaching and ministry leadership. These programs extend BVBI’s emphasis on Scripture, spiritual formation, and applied ministry competence.
Engagement opportunities include applying for admission, partnering financially, and supporting student training through initiatives like 1,000 Seeds, which invites ongoing monthly support for the institute’s work. BVBI also hosts the Future Preachers’ Training Camp, a week-long summer program for young men (ages 13–18) focused on sermon preparation, Bible study, and personal evangelism. Together, these pathways reflect BVBI’s commitment to training ministers locally in Denver while strengthening preacher development and encouragement across a wider network.

OneCry — Organization Profile
OneCry is a Christian prayer and revival movement calling believers to seek God together for personal renewal, church revival, and spiritual awakening. The ministry describes itself as a movement of like-minded Christians uniting in biblical repentance and fervent prayer for the extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit. Its message centers on the conviction that Christ alone can save, heal, and revive.
The movement is based in Niles, Michigan, and serves churches, leaders, prayer groups, campuses, and believers across the United States and internationally. OneCry’s public materials describe both a nationwide call for revival and an international movement of prayer and spiritual renewal. Its work is aimed at Christians who desire deeper repentance, renewed dependence on God, and corporate prayer for awakening in their communities and nations.
OneCry operates primarily through prayer mobilization, revival resources, leadership equipping, podcasts, downloadable tools, and ministry partnerships. Its core call is summarized through three actions: turn, pray, and unite. The movement invites Christians to turn from sin in repentance, pray with urgency for spiritual recovery and awakening, and unite with other believers in spreading the hope of Christ-centered revival.
The ministry provides resources for individuals, churches, and leaders. These include the 7-Day Personal Revival Journey, monthly prayer calendars, the OneCry Podcast, revival articles, prayer guides, church evaluation tools, leadership resources, and downloadable documents for prayer meetings and revival preparation. OneCry Prayer also focuses on helping churches become houses of prayer for all nations, with the stated mission to inspire, equip, and mobilize prayer movements that seek God for revival and spiritual awakening.
OneCry’s strategy includes both public communication and relational mobilization. The ministry encourages people to become intercessors, voices, and partners in the growing revival movement.

World Gospel Outreach — Organization Profile
World Gospel Outreach is a Christian mission organization focused on serving and evangelizing children and the poor. Its stated vision is “Impacting the faith of Christ followers through serving and evangelizing children and the poor.” WGO describes its work as rooted in biblical mandates to care for the poor, share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and meet the needs of others in accountable Christian service.
The ministry serves in Honduras and Belize, with a U.S. office in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and ministry headquarters at Casa de Esperanza in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. World Gospel Outreach began ministry in Honduras before expanding into Belize in 2014. Its work brings North American volunteers together with Honduran and Belizean staff, missionaries, local churches, and ministry partners.
WGO operates through several ministry areas, including Rancho Ebenezer, Tegucigalpa Serve Teams, Belize Serve Teams, Relief and Development, and WGO Kids child sponsorship. Rancho Ebenezer is a family-based children’s community in the mountains near Tegucigalpa for at-risk Honduran children. The ministry provides safe homes, education, counseling, Christian mentorship, vocational development, and preparation for independent adulthood.
Through its Tegucigalpa and Belize serve-team ministries, WGO works with local churches and communities to meet practical needs while sharing the gospel. Teams may participate in medical, dental, and optical care, water-filter installation, concrete floors, home and church projects, food distribution, Vacation Bible School, children’s ministry, relational discipleship, and evangelism. In Honduras, WGO describes long-term relationships with local evangelical churches that host serve teams and help facilitate outreach in their communities.
The organization’s Relief and Development ministry strengthens local churches by helping meet physical and spiritual needs in Central America. Relief work includes clean water, shelter, medical outreach, food distribution, and church-related construction. Development work includes pastoral training and support, small-business development, microfinance, biblical entrepreneurship courses, and vocational-skills training intended to help participants grow spiritually and move toward greater stability.
People can engage with World Gospel Outreach by joining a serve trip, sponsoring a child through WGO Kids, giving to ministry projects, supporting a specific missionary, participating in church partnerships, joining the newsletter, praying for the work, or supporting the WGO Coffee Club connected to Rancho Ebenezer. WGO also lists career opportunities and service roles for people interested in longer-term ministry involvement in Honduras, Belize, or stateside support.

Gulf Coast Getaway (GCG) — Organization Profile
Gulf Coast Getaway (GCG) is a conference-style gathering built specifically for college students and campus ministries. GCG brings together students from dozens of college ministries across the United States for a shared weekend of worship, Bible teaching, and encouragement aimed at helping students stay rooted in faith during the uniquely formative college years.
The heart of GCG is equipping students to lean into their faith and God’s mission while they are on campus and in their communities. Rather than functioning as a generic youth rally, the event is designed around the realities of college life—helping students grow in conviction, develop spiritual habits, and strengthen relationships that support long-term discipleship.
Programmatically, GCG follows a conference rhythm that typically includes large-group sessions (worship and keynote teaching) alongside breakout-style learning that allows students and ministry leaders to choose focused topics for growth. Many groups attend as campus ministries, which gives students a shared experience they can carry back to their campus fellowship for follow-up conversations, prayer, and practical next steps.
GCG is hosted in Gulf Coast–area locations, and the event has been held in various settings across the broader Gulf region. This destination-based approach creates space for concentrated community: students step away from campus pressures for a short period, build friendships with believers from other schools, and return home refreshed and better connected to a wider network of Christian peers.
For participation, GCG offers a straightforward on-ramp for both individuals and groups. Registration is available online, and the event notes that registration provides access to the conference program while lodging is handled separately by attendees and groups. Churches and campus ministries commonly use GCG as an annual anchor for college discipleship—bringing student leaders and newer students together for a focused weekend of teaching, worship, and community.

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.

Ozark Christian College — Organization Profile
Ozark Christian College (OCC) is a degree-granting institution of biblical higher education whose mission is to train men and women for Christian service. Based in Joplin, Missouri, the college serves students preparing for lifelong ministry and leadership in local churches, parachurch organizations, and mission contexts. OCC’s roots are in the Stone-Campbell heritage (Independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ), with an institutional emphasis on biblical authority and gospel-centered formation.
OCC frames its work around a clear mission-and-vision pair: training gospel leaders while aiming to glorify God by evangelizing the lost and edifying Christians worldwide. This focus shapes the curriculum, campus life, and ministry opportunities students encounter during their time at Ozark. The college also highlights a set of core values that prioritize Scripture, service, truth-telling in love, dependence on God, unity through grace, and partnering with the Church in the Great Commission.
Academically, OCC offers undergraduate pathways designed to integrate Bible, theology, and practical ministry preparation. Programs include degrees such as Bible and Ministry (with an online option for working adults) and majors spanning areas like student ministry, children’s ministry, intercultural studies, creative arts ministry, and organizational leadership. Alongside these degrees, Ozark provides church-facing resources through NextLevel Online, a free video library taught by OCC professors for leadership training and outreach, as well as chapel livestreams and archives that keep alumni and supporters connected.
A major recent development in OCC’s story is that in 2024, Lincoln Christian Seminary transferred to OCC, becoming Lincoln Seminary at Ozark Christian College. This addition strengthens the graduate-level training available through Ozark’s seminary programming while continuing the institution’s long-standing commitment to equipping ministry leaders. OCC notes that its graduates commonly move into vocational or volunteer ministry, and it maintains a practical, church-connected approach to training.
Beyond coursework, OCC supports experiential formation through campus community life and service opportunities. The Idleman Ministry Center helps connect students with places to serve, internship guidance, and ministry openings. Athletics and student activities contribute to community rhythms, while resources like OCC Academy and other training initiatives extend Ozark’s impact beyond campus.
Ways to engage with OCC include applying for residential or online study, participating in campus visits and tours, and supporting students and programs through giving. From its campus in southwest Missouri, Ozark seeks to serve churches and Christian leaders across the United States and internationally through degree programs, seminary preparation, and practical resources for disciple-making and ministry leadership.
