Oklahoma Christian University (OC) — Organization Profile
Oklahoma Christian University (OC) is a private Christian university rooted in the churches of Christ, with its main campus at 2501 E. Memorial Road in Edmond, Oklahoma, on the north side of the Oklahoma City metro area. Founded in 1950 as Central Christian College in Bartlesville, OC has developed into a four-year university serving more than 2,000 students while maintaining an identity shaped by Christian conviction and community expectations.
OC’s mission is to educate, mentor and inspire learners to fulfill their God-given potential, and the university’s stated vision is to become a distinctly Christian Kingdom University that pairs quality academics with a “Kingdom culture.” That framing influences how OC talks about student formation: academic preparation is meant to be connected to faith, character, and service, with a campus covenant and statement of beliefs that describe the university’s biblical foundations and commitments.
Academically, OC offers undergraduate and graduate study across multiple colleges and disciplines, with pathways that prepare students for professions such as business, education, computer science, and engineering, along with many other majors. The university emphasizes a student experience that includes mentoring, career development support, and spiritual life programming as part of campus rhythms. Prospective students can explore admissions routes for undergraduate, graduate, and international study and connect with counselors for application guidance and campus visits.
OC also highlights a broader geographic reach beyond its home campus. The university profile notes a commitment to learning opportunities worldwide through study abroad and through its presence in Rwanda. Specifically, OC offers its MBA program in Kigali, Rwanda in partnership with the Rwandan Ministry of Education, positioning that program as part of its global academic engagement and leadership development efforts.
Engagement with Oklahoma Christian University happens in several practical ways. Students and families can request information, schedule visits, and apply through OC’s admissions resources. Alumni and friends can stay connected through university news and events. Supporters who want to strengthen OC’s mission can give through the university’s giving pages, including options that fund scholarships, academic priorities, and campus needs.

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.

Tavriski Christian Institute (TCI) — Organization Profile
Tavriski Christian Institute, commonly known as TCI, is a Christian educational and mission-training organization connected with Ukraine and ministry across the former Soviet Union. Partner churches and mission organizations describe TCI as an evangelical institution focused on continuing biblical education, ministry preparation, and leadership training. The organization’s correct website is listed publicly as mission.org.ua.
TCI’s work centers on training ministers, missionaries, church planters, pastors, evangelists, and local Christian leaders for long-term service. Partner descriptions identify TCI as a ministry that provides certificate and degree programs, including training designed for students who cannot relocate for a traditional four-year program. Its educational work is practical in focus, preparing leaders who can serve churches, guide new ministries, and strengthen Christian witness in difficult contexts.
The organization serves students and ministry leaders connected with Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. Partner updates describe TCI’s ministry as extending into former Soviet Union countries and several Central Asian contexts where Christianity faces restrictions. Public partner information specifically names Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Georgia among regions connected with TCI’s training and ministry reach.
TCI’s educational approach includes structured biblical training, pastoral preparation, church-planting formation, youth ministry training, and ongoing mentoring. One partner description identifies a Certificate Youth Course for men and women preparing to work with teens and young adults, along with a Certificate Pastor Training Program made up of eight courses over two years for pastors, evangelists, and local missionaries. Other partner descriptions emphasize TCI’s continuing support of leaders after training through coaching and ministry relationships.
The war in Ukraine has deeply affected TCI’s work. Partner updates report that in March 2022, TCI’s property in eastern Ukraine was seized by Russian troops, with facilities including offices, dormitories, and a large library destroyed or lost. After that disruption, TCI relocated its operations and resumed training students while also taking part in humanitarian efforts for war-affected communities. Updates in 2025 reported that TCI had moved operations to a more permanent facility in Kyiv and continued preparing graduates for ministry.
People can engage TCI by praying for its students, teachers, and ministry partners; supporting theological education in Ukraine and Central Asia; connecting through the organization’s website; or giving through partner organizations that publicly support TCI’s work. Churches interested in global missions, leadership development, and ministry training in restricted or underserved regions may find TCI’s work connected to long-term pastoral preparation, church planting, youth ministry, and humanitarian service.

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.

Christ Reaching Asia Mission Worldwide — Organization Profile
Christ Reaching Asia Mission Worldwide, Inc., doing business as CRAM Worldwide, Inc., is a Christian mission organization focused on Asia. The organization states its mission as taking the love of Jesus Christ to the people of Asia by meeting physical needs in order to gain opportunities to meet spiritual needs. Its work combines evangelism, benevolence, church planting, child sponsorship, education, medical support, and care for vulnerable children and families.
CRAM Worldwide is based in Greenwood, Indiana, and its ministry serves communities in Asia, including Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, North Korea, and China. The organization began through the missionary work of Dr. Chan Young “C.Y.” Kim and Patricia Kim, with support from leaders connected to Southern Indiana, and has developed into a mission with staff, board leadership, missionaries, child sponsorship programs, and country-specific projects.
The ministry operates through a “reach, rescue, restore” framework. CRAM Worldwide supports church planting and evangelism, preacher and leadership training, child sponsorship, food assistance, education, medical care, and humanitarian service. Its mission materials describe work such as churches in the Philippines and Cambodia, a medical center in Mindanao, leadership training through International Christian College of Manila, and ministry development in Vietnam.
One of the organization’s major programs is CRAM Kids, a child sponsorship ministry that began with Boat Kids in Bacoor, Philippines, and has expanded to Mindanao, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The program provides food, clothing, education, access to medical care, and spiritual guidance for children and families facing poverty. Sponsors may be assigned an individual child and support the ministry monthly.

Boise Bible College — Organization Profile
Boise Bible College (often abbreviated BBC) is a private Christian Bible college located in Boise, Idaho, offering associate and bachelor’s degrees alongside one-year certificate options. The school’s stated mission is to glorify God by equipping servant leaders to build up the Church and advance the gospel worldwide, shaping students for long-term service in congregations and Christian vocations.
Founded in 1945, Boise Bible College began as a training school connected to First Church of Christ in Boise, with an early focus on preparing ministers for the Pacific Northwest. While the college welcomes students from a range of church backgrounds, it describes itself as not being part of a denominational system and as being supported by independent congregations. Today, the school emphasizes a learning environment where Scripture is treated as foundational for faith and practice while students are encouraged to engage the Bible carefully and thoughtfully.
Academically, Boise Bible College offers programs across ministry and church leadership fields, including areas such as Biblical Studies, Christian Education, Worship Arts, Intercultural Studies, Pastoral Care, and preaching-focused coursework. The college also highlights degree paths connected to Christian teaching and Christian psychology, reflecting a goal of preparing students for service both in churches and in broader professional settings. Alongside classroom instruction, BBC frames its approach as developing Christ-like character and servant leadership through campus community, mentoring relationships, and spiritual formation.
Student life is presented as an intentional part of preparation for ministry and discipleship. Boise Bible College notes a “trio” approach to formation—academics, caring community, and personal relationships—aimed at cultivating discipleship habits, a lifelong posture toward ministry, and dependency on prayer. The campus experience also includes co-curricular opportunities and student support services designed to help students integrate learning, community, and practical development during their time in Boise.
People can connect with Boise Bible College in several ways: prospective students can apply, request information, or schedule a campus visit; alumni and supporters can follow along through official updates and engage through giving channels associated with Friends of Boise Bible. For churches and ministry partners, BBC is positioned as a pipeline for training and sending graduates into local and global service—especially from Boise and the Pacific Northwest to ministry contexts beyond the region.

MTR International began its church-planting mission with its first church plant in Kostroma, Russia. That congregation has matured and continues to serve its community while raising up men and women for Christian service.
Mission to Russia International serves Russian-speaking communities in the former Soviet Union, with current or associated church work identified in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Abkhazia. Its public church pages identify established churches in Kostroma, Gomel, and Mogilev, along with associate churches in Davydovsky and Gus-Hrustalniy. Current church-planting locations include Minsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Ivanovo, Lutsk, Nesvizh, Krivoy Rog, Sukhum, and a second Lutsk church plant.
The ministry operates through church planting, support for established congregations, missionary partnerships, leadership involvement, and Christian education. Its sister ministry, Light to the World Ministries, supports kingdom work among families in Russia through Light to the World Christian Academy in Kostroma. The academy was established in 1999 to meet the educational and spiritual needs of children in Kostroma, providing Russian primary and secondary education while regularly teaching students the Bible.
A distinctive part of Mission to Russia International’s work is connecting church planting with long-term Christian education and discipleship among Russian-speaking families. Through Light to the World Christian Academy, students receive eleven years of instruction in English and biblical teaching, and many families encounter the gospel through the school. MTR International’s church-planting work also emphasizes existing and emerging congregations that can serve their communities and continue raising up Christian workers.
People can engage with Mission to Russia International by praying, giving, supporting church planting, sponsoring Light to the World Christian Academy students, following ministry updates, or contacting the ministry directly. Supporters can give online, set up recurring donations, text to give, or mail gifts to the St. Peters address. Churches and individuals can also follow MTR International and Light to the World Ministries through their official social channels for updates from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Abkhazia, and the academy in Kostroma.

Florida School of Preaching — Organization Profile
The Florida School of Preaching (FSOP) is a preacher-training school in the Churches of Christ tradition, focused on equipping preachers and Bible class teachers for congregational ministry. FSOP describes its work as providing essential instruction for men who desire to preach but have not had the opportunity for formal training. The school began operations in September 1969 and continues to serve churches through classroom teaching, practical preparation, and ongoing resource publishing.
FSOP is based in Lakeland, Florida, operating at 1807 S. Florida Ave., Lakeland, FL 33803, in facilities associated with the South Florida Avenue church of Christ. FSOP notes that the school started with support from the South Florida Avenue church of Christ along with other churches and individuals, and it received a state charter in June 1972. From its Lakeland base, FSOP welcomes students pursuing ministry preparation as well as those seeking deeper Bible study.
Academically, FSOP offers a two-year, 120-semester-hour program focused on gospel preaching. The school emphasizes that its courses are directly connected to the work of a gospel preacher, centering the curriculum on Scripture and ministry-related study. FSOP also notes additional access points for learning, including satellite classes offered in various areas for those unable to attend the main campus, and that some classes each semester are available online for qualified students.
FSOP’s public teaching extends beyond the classroom through events and media resources. The school began hosting an annual lectureship in January 1975, an in-depth multi-day Bible study event with lessons from a variety of speakers. FSOP also makes lectureship materials available through multiple formats, including published lectureship books and recordings (audio and video), providing churches and individuals with ongoing access to teaching content.
In addition to training students, FSOP produces resources intended to encourage broader Bible study and faithful ministry. The school publishes The Harvester, a newsletter offering articles and teaching materials, and also hosts the Harvester Podcast for topical Bible discussions and studies. These resources help extend FSOP’s educational mission to a wider audience of congregations, families, and individuals.
People can engage with FSOP by applying for admission (full-time or part-time options), attending the annual lectureship, using the school’s online archives for audio and video teaching, and supporting the work financially through giving options (including recurring and one-time gifts). FSOP also provides clear points of contact for prospective students and supporters, including an admissions email and office phone numbers for questions about enrollment, scheduling, and partnership.

New Churches of Christ Evangelism — Organization Profile
New Churches of Christ Evangelism, commonly known as NCCE, is a church-planting ministry connected to churches of Christ and Christian Churches in the Restoration Movement. Based in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, the organization focuses on planting healthy, reproducing churches and helping launch new congregations that can serve their local communities over the long term. Its public materials present NCCE as a cooperative effort that brings churches, leaders, and supporters together around a shared commitment to evangelism through new church starts.
NCCE states that its mission is to plant healthy, reproducing churches throughout the Great Lakes region and beyond. Its vision emphasizes not simply the number of churches launched, but the goal of seeing people reached with the gospel and congregations established on an enduring biblical foundation. The ministry describes itself as proactive in seeking opportunities for new Restoration churches and as committed to planting congregations that reflect both the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. Its primary geographic focus is the Great Lakes region, including Michigan, northern Indiana, northwest Ohio, and Ontario, while also serving opportunities beyond that core area.
The organization operates by partnering with church planters, existing churches, and like-minded ministries. NCCE says it works with those who want to plant a daughter church, explore a multisite effort, or develop a new church from the ground up. It also highlights cooperation with other organizations for assessment, training, recruitment, and support. On its public pages, NCCE points to affiliations and ministry relationships intended to strengthen church planting capacity, including connections that help identify and prepare future planters. That partnership model is one of its main distinctives: rather than functioning as an isolated ministry, NCCE works as an extension of many congregations in its region.
NCCE’s site also shows the ministry’s recent and ongoing church-planting activity. It reports that in the last 10 years it has helped plant more than 10 churches and notes that a goal set in 2015 to launch eight churches in eight years was met in 2023. Recent examples listed by the ministry include a 2026 church plant in Canton, Michigan, ministry partnership work in Angola, Indiana, and support for Agape City Church in Howell, Michigan, which launched in 2022. These examples help illustrate how NCCE engages both established congregations and new works in communities that are growing or changing.
People can engage with NCCE in several practical ways. Prospective church planters can contact the ministry through its church planting inquiry process. Churches and individuals can support the work financially through its giving page or by mailed gifts. Visitors can also follow the organization’s newsletters to track updates and prayer needs. For readers looking at NCCE as a ministry partner, the clearest picture is of a Great Lakes-based church planting organization centered on mobilizing resources, coaching new works, and supporting the start of new congregations in places where leaders believe new churches can help reach more people.

La Costa Colombia Mission — Organization Profile
La Costa Colombia Mission is a Christian nonprofit based in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving churches, pastors, ministries, and vulnerable communities along the Colombian coast. The organization describes itself as a mission that supports missions and churches already working in their neighborhoods, building spiritual and financial support relationships with local leaders and ministries.
The organization’s core focus is supporting Colombian churches and missions through children’s feeding ministries, medical missions, community health programs, pastoral encouragement, and short-term mission coordination. La Costa Colombia works with local missionaries and pastors who are already serving in their own communities, helping strengthen their work through prayer, resources, trips, and partnership.
La Costa Colombia serves communities in Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Sincelejo, Buenaventura, La Guajira, and other areas of Colombia’s coastal region. Its website identifies partner congregations and ministries that focus on feeding and educating children, supporting and training young parents, promoting community health, and providing medical outreach in vulnerable communities.
The ministry operates through U.S.-based coordination and Colombia-based collaboration. Its directors are based in the United States, where they coordinate missionary trips, children’s dining halls, medical missions, and events related to comprehensive community care. Local collaborators in Colombia work in the cities and neighborhoods where La Costa Colombia has developed relationships with churches, pastors, and mission partners.
A distinctive part of La Costa Colombia’s work is strengthening existing local ministries rather than replacing them. Its supported ministries include Construyendo Casa Firme, a children’s dining room connected with Casa Firme church in the Las Flores neighborhood, and Pesca Milagrosa, a group of churches that brings the Word of God to towns and hard-to-reach areas. The organization also supports local pastors through online meetings and occasional retreats for rest, training, and encouragement.
People can engage with La Costa Colombia by giving, praying, following ministry updates, supporting children’s feeding and education efforts, helping medical missions, or participating in short-term mission work. The organization has partnered with FAME for medical mission trips in Colombia, including outreach through Casa Firme in Barranquilla and other neighboring communities. Donations help feed and educate children, strengthen young parents, improve health in vulnerable communities, and support local pastors serving along the Colombian coast.

The organization is based in Culpeper, Virginia, and serves members across the United States.

SHARE Healthcare — Organization Profile
SHARE Healthcare, also written as Share HealthCare, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit medical cost-sharing ministry that provides direct member-to-member sharing of eligible medical expenses through a secure online platform. The ministry states clearly that it is not health insurance. Instead, it operates as an ACA-exempt health care sharing ministry for people who agree with its Christian principles and Statement of Beliefs.
The organization is based in Culpeper, Virginia, and serves members across the United States. SHARE Healthcare’s model is designed for individuals, couples, and families who want to participate in a Christian health-sharing community rather than a traditional insurance arrangement. Its public materials emphasize generosity, healthy living, transparency, affordability, and member participation.
SHARE Healthcare operates through monthly member share contributions. Members contribute through a secure online network, and those contributions are matched to eligible medical expenses submitted by other members. A distinctive part of SHARE Healthcare’s model is direct member-to-member sharing through individualized bank accounts rather than pooled funds in one centralized account. The organization describes this structure as a way to increase transparency and allow members to see how funds are shared.
The ministry offers three membership levels: Compassion, Kindness, and Caring. Each level has different monthly share amounts and Per Event Personal Expense, or PEPE, amounts. After a member’s PEPE is met, eligible medical expenses may be shared according to the program guidelines. Categories listed as eligible for sharing include physician and hospital services, emergency medical care, urgent care, wellness and screening appointments, clinic visits, medical testing, imaging, prescriptions, maternity care, home healthcare, physical therapy, speech therapy, respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, and vaccinations.
SHARE Healthcare also supports members through provider negotiation and online account tools. Members may choose their own doctors and hospitals, and SHARE Healthcare works with providers to negotiate medical bills when submitted through the process. The member dashboard allows users to view transactions, submit expenses, access documents, and follow the progress of medical cost sharing.
People can engage with SHARE Healthcare by reviewing program details, reading the member handbook, requesting a decision guide, contacting the support team, or applying online for membership. Churches, families, and individuals considering health-sharing options should review the handbook and legal notices carefully, because health care sharing is voluntary and is not insurance. Its distinct contribution is a Christian medical cost-sharing platform that combines online technology, individualized member accounts, direct sharing, provider negotiation, and faith-based community support for eligible health care expenses.

LBC also curates a podcasts page featuring links to alumni-created resources, reflecting the school’s interest in ongoing encouragement and ministry communication beyond the classroom.

Youth in Action (YIAKC) — Organization Profile
Youth in Action (YIAKC) is a youth conference that brings together Christian teens for a concentrated weekend of worship, Bible teaching, and community. YIAKC is organized as a group-based event, meaning youth typically attend with a church youth group and adult chaperones, creating a supervised environment that supports both spiritual growth and healthy peer relationships.
The conference is designed for students in grades 6–12, offering an experience that combines large-group sessions with smaller settings where students can learn and reflect together. YIAKC emphasizes worship and keynote teaching alongside a rotation of classes and activities, giving groups a shared spiritual focus while also providing options for learning that fit different interests and stages of growth.
A key distinctive of YIAKC is its intentional blend of teaching and togetherness. The event schedule includes time for youth groups to meet privately for group devotionals, helping youth leaders and chaperones process the weekend’s lessons with their students. YIAKC also describes the value of shared “common space” time where groups can mingle, play games, and meet other teens—helping relationships form across congregations and states.
YIAKC takes place in a hotel conference setting near Kansas City International Airport, hosting the conference entirely within the Embassy Suites Kansas City Airport location. This format allows conference sessions, lodging, and group gathering spaces to remain in one place, which supports coordination for large numbers of attendees and makes it simpler for visiting groups to participate. YIAKC provides guidance for group leaders on room arrangements, expectations for youth supervision, and event policies so church groups can plan responsibly.
The conference is led by a board made up of leaders connected to multiple congregations, reflecting YIAKC’s cooperative nature. Board members represent churches in Missouri, Iowa, and the Kansas City region, and the conference provides a public contact email so churches and group leaders can ask questions or request help connecting with a group when needed.
For churches looking to engage, YIAKC’s primary pathways are registering as a youth group, preparing adults and students for a structured weekend of learning and worship, and using the conference as an opportunity to strengthen youth discipleship and relationships within a youth ministry. YIAKC also recognizes the importance of feedback and ongoing improvement through attendee input, and it highlights sponsors who help support the conference.

Its stated approach is non-denominational in structure and patterned after the New Testament church.
The ministry was founded by Reggie Thomas, who dedicated his work to overseas evangelism with the goal of taking the Great Commission seriously across national and cultural boundaries. White Fields describes its work as reaching the world with the good news that Jesus brings eternal life in relationship with the one true God. Its ministry identity includes evangelism, church planting, teaching, prayer for unreached peoples, and practical care for vulnerable children.
White Fields Overseas Evangelism is publicly connected with Joplin, Missouri, and describes its work as international in scope. Its website lists ministry activity in many countries and regions, including Haiti, India, Liberia, Cuba, Uganda, Antigua, the Philippines, and other nations. The organization emphasizes support for native or national evangelists who can work within their own cultural settings, often with fewer resources than foreign missionaries would require.
A central part of the ministry’s strategy is supporting native evangelists and helping plant churches in unreached nations, villages, and peoples. White Fields states that it partners with evangelists, matches them with sponsors, and encourages prayer and monthly support. The ministry also provides resources such as sermons, articles, International Bible School lessons, Muslim teaching lessons, newsletters, and a World Prayer Map focused on reached and unreached nations.
White Fields also includes White Fields Orphanage Ministries, a children’s ministry connected to the organization’s overseas work. The ministry’s official materials describe orphanage support in countries such as Haiti, India, and Liberia. This work has included feeding, housing, educating, and caring for children through partner homes and orphanage ministries, alongside the evangelistic and church-planting focus of the organization.
People can engage with White Fields Overseas Evangelism by praying for unreached nations, supporting national evangelists, giving toward ministry work, using its teaching and prayer resources, contacting the ministry about opportunities to help, or partnering with White Fields Orphanage Ministries. The organization’s “What Can I Do?” materials encourage Christians and churches to select nations for prayer, identify contacts, support evangelists, and help launch new churches where no New Testament church is present.

Evangelism University (EU) — Organization Profile
Evangelism University (EU) is a weekend training experience created to help high school students grow into confident, prepared witnesses for Jesus. EU describes itself as “not a youth rally,” but a focused environment for spiritually ready teen leaders who want to learn how to share the gospel clearly and intentionally. Its emphasis is practical: students attend classes that strengthen both their understanding of the Good News and their ability to talk about faith in everyday relationships.
EU’s training model combines core sessions with electives so participants can engage evangelism topics that connect directly to their lives. Along with hands-on instruction for personal evangelism, EU also highlights learning about mission works “at home and abroad,” helping students understand how local outreach and global mission efforts fit together. The goal is to send students home with real tools—not just inspiration—so they can take next steps in disciple-making within their schools, friend groups, and communities.
The conference is hosted annually in Savannah, Tennessee, using Hardin County High School as the primary venue. EU’s history and ongoing local support are closely connected to the Savannah Church of Christ, including coordination help that makes it possible for groups to attend and participate. Many churches bring students as organized youth groups, which allows adult sponsors to reinforce the training and follow up with students after the weekend.
Housing and logistics are designed around group participation. EU notes that visiting groups commonly coordinate lodging through local host homes, nearby hotels, or rental properties in the area. Registration options may include a housing request process for groups seeking local host arrangements. Because the event is built for church groups, youth ministers and sponsors often use EU as part of a broader yearly discipleship plan—identifying students ready to grow in evangelism and then building ongoing accountability and practice back home.
EU also invites supporters to help strengthen the work through giving. The organization’s giving option is presented as a way to support Evangelism University and provide scholarship assistance connected to student mission trips and evangelistic efforts. For churches interested in participating, the best starting points are the official website pages for an overview, schedule, registration, and the contact form. EU also maintains a public Facebook page where it shares updates and communication for attendees.

Christian Standard Media — Organization Profile
Christian Standard Media is a mission-driven publishing organization that serves leaders and members within the Restoration Movement, especially congregations commonly known as Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. Best known for its flagship publications, Christian Standard and The Lookout, the organization provides magazine content and related resources intended to encourage biblical faithfulness, strengthen unity, and support local church ministry.
The organization’s roots reach back to the mid-1800s, when leaders gathered to launch a journal devoted to New Testament Christianity. Over time, that effort developed into a long-standing publishing legacy that has included Sunday school materials, Bible study helps, and other ministry tools. Today, Christian Standard Media continues that heritage primarily through its magazine platforms and digital resources, making much of its content available online for broad access.
Christian Standard functions as a leadership-focused magazine and digital platform, aiming to “resourcing” church leaders with articles, columns, and news that engage ministry challenges and opportunities. The publication highlights church leadership and ministry practice, connecting a far-flung fellowship of churches by offering shared ideas, stories, and discussion points. Christian Standard Media also invites churches to subscribe in print or access a free digital subscription, helping staff teams, elders, and ministry leaders stay connected and informed.
The Lookout provides a weekly resource designed to support a believer’s daily walk with Christ. Its content includes devotional and Bible study features meant to help readers apply faith to everyday life and deepen spiritual habits. In addition to its magazine content, Christian Standard Media maintains connected tools such as a digital database and other online resources offered in partnership with ministry organizations, with the goal of serving churches with practical, biblically grounded material.
Christian Standard Media is based in Parker, Colorado, and its publications are used by readers and churches worldwide. Individuals and congregations can engage with the ministry by reading and sharing content, subscribing to print editions, using the resource tools provided online, submitting inquiries or writing proposals where available, and supporting the work financially through giving.

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.

The site’s stated emphasis is affirming that the Bible’s Genesis record of Creation and the Flood is correct, readable, and understandable.

The ministry presence is web-based, with conference and teaching content connected to Malibu, California, Los Angeles, California, and broader online audiences.

Creation Genesis — Organization Profile
Creation Genesis is an online Christian apologetics and teaching resource hosted at True Science for Theologians and Other People. The site’s stated emphasis is affirming that the Bible’s Genesis record of Creation and the Flood is correct, readable, and understandable. Its materials are written for theologians, Christian educators, church leaders, students, and other readers who are examining questions about Genesis, origins, science, Scripture, and Christian doctrine.
The ministry presence is web-based, with conference and teaching content connected to Malibu, California, Los Angeles, California, and broader online audiences. Its pages focus on the relationship between biblical interpretation and scientific claims, especially where the author believes Christian colleges, seminaries, churches, and theologians have accommodated evolutionary assumptions in ways that weaken confidence in Scripture.
Creation Genesis operates primarily through articles, commentary, embedded videos, conference materials, and curated teaching resources. The site includes materials from True Science for Theologians conferences, including TSFT15 and TSFT16, with presentations addressing Genesis 1–11, creation, the Fall, Noah’s Flood, Chinese history and writing, original tissue fossils, radiocarbon claims, epigenetics, and critiques of theistic evolution. The overall approach is a Genesis-focused apologetics resource arguing that Scripture and true science agree when both are rightly understood.
A recurring focus of the site is the importance of beginning with Scripture when evaluating origin questions. The site argues that Jesus and other biblical writers affirmed the Genesis record and that Christian theology is harmed when Genesis is treated as symbolic, secondary, or adjustable to fit current scientific consensus. Its materials also emphasize inductive reasoning, warnings about circular reasoning, and concern for how science and theology are taught in Christian institutions.
The site also highlights topics related to China and Genesis, including presentations on ancient Chinese writing, history, archaeology, and the “Creation, Fall, and Flood” theme. Other resources discuss the bilingual English/Chinese edition of Bill Cooper’s Authenticity of the Book of Genesis, including attention to flood traditions, the Genesis Flood Tablet, and arguments for Genesis as a reliable historical record.
People can engage with Creation Genesis by reading the online materials, watching embedded teaching videos, using the site as a study resource, and sharing specific pages with church leaders, teachers, students, or small groups discussing Genesis and creation. The site does not present a standard ministry donation page, mailing address, or staff directory, so engagement appears to be primarily through its freely available online teaching content.

Herald of Truth is a missions and ministry-support organization focused on reaching Spanish-speaking communities with the gospel of Jesus and strengthening churches through practical resourcing and leadership development. Founded in 1952, the ministry frames its work around a long-term “100 by 100” vision: planting 100 Spanish-speaking churches across the U.S. and Latin America by its 100th anniversary in 2052, while also tracking ongoing church-planting progress and partnerships.
The organization’s home office is in Abilene, Texas, and its ministry scope spans Spanish-speaking communities in the United States and across Latin America. Herald of Truth emphasizes partnership with churches and believers through giving, internships, mission trips, and collaboration with other ministries—aiming to combine evangelism, training, and support in ways that local congregations can sustain.
Herald of Truth organizes its current work into three main ministry focuses. First, MESA (Mission: Evangelize Spanish America) is designed to resource, connect, and train Hispanic ministries—especially within the U.S.—through media and leadership development. The ministry describes goals such as equipping Spanish-speaking believers for evangelism, engaging communities with creative and professional tools (including customized media and web resources), and educating church leadership for cross-cultural ministry initiatives.
Second, Herald of Truth supports holistic, local-church-centered work in Honduras. The ministry describes its Honduran efforts as walking alongside churches to meet both spiritual and practical needs, including gospel outreach and projects such as building homes for families living in poverty. Through these partnerships, local congregations are supported as they serve their communities with compassion and courage.
Third, Herald of Truth focuses on strengthening the church in Cuba by providing biblical resources, training, and encouragement for ministers working under challenging conditions. The ministry highlights long-standing partnership and church-planting efforts connected to work in Matanzas province, alongside continued outreach through radio programming and follow-up Bible studies. In each context, Herald of Truth positions its role as coming alongside local leaders so the church can serve faithfully and share the hope of Christ with clarity.
People can engage with Herald of Truth by donating, joining mission trips, applying for internships, and using its resource library and newsletters to stay connected with ongoing work. For churches seeking to expand Spanish-language outreach, MESA represents a structured pathway for resourcing and consultation, while Honduras and Cuba offer opportunities for teams and supporters to participate in sustained, relationship-based ministry.

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.

The event is designed primarily for middle school and high school students, who typically attend with church youth groups and adult sponsors for a concentrated, retreat-style weekend of spiritual renewal and discipleship.
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.

Freed-Hardeman University Bible Lectureship — Organization Profile
The Freed-Hardeman University (FHU) Bible Lectureship is a long-running annual Bible teaching event hosted by Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee. The lectureship draws Christians from many congregations for concentrated study, preaching, and encouragement through a structured program of classes and sessions led by invited speakers and teachers.
The lectureship is organized around a yearly theme and is designed to serve a wide range of attendees, including ministers, elders, Bible class teachers, students, and families. Content commonly includes keynote-style lessons, topical classes, and track-based sessions intended to help participants grow in Scripture knowledge and apply biblical teaching in local church life, leadership, and personal discipleship.
A distinctive feature of the FHU Bible Lectureship is its connection to the university’s broader spiritual life and biblical studies work. While it is hosted on a university campus, the event is intentionally public-facing—inviting guests beyond current students and alumni—and aims to provide an accessible learning environment for congregations and individuals who want deeper engagement with the Bible.
FHU also makes supporting resources available in connection with the lectureship. These resources have historically included theme-related materials and companion content that attendees and churches can use for ongoing study beyond the event itself. The university also promotes a mobile app experience to help participants navigate event information and stay connected to lectureship details.
Churches and individuals can engage with the lectureship in several practical ways: attend in person, share the opportunity with others, utilize published resources, and support the continuation of the lectureship through giving. Those who need help with participation details can use the official lectureship information page and the lectureship registration page, and can contact the lectureship staff listed by FHU for lectureship-related questions.

Hisportic Global Christian Mission — Organization Profile
Hisportic Global Christian Mission, also known as HCM or Hisportic Christian Mission, is a Christian church-planting and leadership-development ministry with contact operations in Elizabethton, Tennessee. Founded in 1984, the organization exists to multiply Christ-followers among Portuguese-speaking peoples worldwide. Its public theme, “One Language. One Gospel.” reflects its focus on sharing Christ in the heart language of Portuguese-speaking communities.
The organization’s core focus is planting churches, training leaders, developing disciples, supporting Christian education, and encouraging sustainable ministry among Portuguese-speaking peoples. HCM began as a calling to reach Brazilian and Portuguese communities in New England and has expanded into a global ministry serving across the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Its work is built around local believers, national pastors, and ministry leaders who can disciple people within their own language and culture.
Hisportic Global Christian Mission serves the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe, with current work publicly identified in the United States, Brazil, Guinea-Bissau, Goa in India, Timor-Leste, and Portugal. In the United States, HCM partners with Portuguese-speaking congregations and pastors in states such as Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, and Tennessee. In Guinea-Bissau, the mission supports churches, schools, teacher training, leadership development, and plans for the Institute of Development and Evangelism.
The ministry operates through five connected areas: church planting, leadership training, entrepreneurship, in-country service, and education. HCM partners with local believers to form Christ-centered churches that become centers for worship, discipleship, and outreach. It also invests in pastoral and lay training so leaders can guide churches with biblical knowledge, spiritual maturity, and practical ministry skills. Its education work includes Christian schools that provide learning shaped by a biblical worldview.
A distinctive part of HCM’s strategy is using the Portuguese language as a bridge across cultures and continents. Portuguese connects communities in places such as Brazil, Guinea-Bissau, Goa, Timor-Leste, Portugal, and immigrant communities in the United States. Through that shared language, HCM seeks to connect hearts, cultures, and generations with the gospel while strengthening local churches and developing future leaders.
People can engage with Hisportic Global Christian Mission by praying, giving, joining short-term mission opportunities, exploring long-term service, or contacting the ministry about partnership. Short-term teams may serve through construction, education, children’s outreach, community projects, and encouragement for national pastors. Long-term opportunities focus on church establishment, disciple making, education, community development, and Business-as-Mission initiatives among Portuguese-speaking communities.

Reaching Japan is the church-planting ministry of James and Rosie Miyashita, focused on planting churches in urban Japan and helping Japanese people hear the Gospel through long-term, Japanese-language ministry. The Miyashitas describe their work as church planting in Japan, with a current focus on Nagoya, one of Japan’s largest metropolitan areas.
The ministry serves in Nagoya, Japan, with sending and support connections through Eastwood Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia, and MissionGO in the United States and Canada. James and Rosie moved to Japan in 2019, served first in Niigata, and moved to Nagoya in 2021 to plant Owari Baptist Church. Their stated goal is to help start a church in each of Nagoya’s 16 districts by 2030.
Reaching Japan’s ministry model centers on church planting, discipleship, leadership training, Japanese-language ministry, relationship building, and missionary preparation. The ministry emphasizes that disciples are made and leaders are trained in the context of biblical local churches. Its approach is church-focused, relational, and aimed at long-term sustainability rather than dependence on foreign structures.
The ministry also provides pathways for people exploring mission work in Japan. Reaching Japan hosts Japan Recon Tours for serious ministry inquirers who want to understand life and ministry in Japan before taking next steps. These tours are designed for people praying about ministry generally or Japan specifically, and they include exposure to Japanese culture, ministry realities, and missionary life.
Reaching Japan’s internship program is designed to prepare people for long-term service connected to church planting ministry in Japan. Mini internships last three to six months and help college students or recent graduates gain ministry experience, language exposure, and cultural understanding. Standard internships last one to two years and are intended for those seriously considering full-time ministry in Japan, with language school, church involvement, relationship building, and preparation for possible church-planting team service.
People can engage with Reaching Japan by praying, subscribing to ministry updates, supporting the Miyashitas through MissionGO, watching ministry videos and seminars, applying for a Recon Tour, exploring an internship, or contacting the ministry about Japan church-planting opportunities. Its distinct contribution is focused church-planting work in Nagoya that combines Japanese-language Gospel ministry, local church formation, missionary preparation, and a goal of catalyzing 16 churches by 2030.

COPE Ministry — Organization Profile
COPE Ministry, formally Children of Pokot Educational Fund, is a Christian mission serving Pokot children and families in Kenya. The ministry’s mission is to provide education for Pokot children by empowering Christians and their community to nurture children spiritually, mentally, and physically so they can grow into local and national leaders who think and act from a Christian worldview.
COPE’s U.S. mailing address is Lincoln, Illinois, and its African mission is located in Tapadany, Pokot, Kenya, serving the West Pokot region of Kenya. The organization states that it does not operate from a physical U.S. office; instead, volunteers and board members support the ministry remotely while mission work continues through local employees and leaders in Kenya.
The ministry began after Paul and Mary Boatman visited Pokot in 1995 and saw the need for basic education among children from the nomadic Pokot tribe. Barbara O’Donohue later helped establish the nonprofit in 1997 to fund Tapadany Christian Academy. What began as a small school has grown into Tapadany Christian Academy, COPE House, a feeding program, medical care, evangelism, and community outreach projects.
Education remains central to COPE’s work. Tapadany Christian Academy began with a preschool and now serves hundreds of students through primary grades. The school provides classroom instruction, Christian Religious Education, worship assemblies, a library, play space, and two meals each school day for students and employees. COPE describes the school as both an education ministry and a Christian outreach arm into the Pokot community, since children share what they learn with their families.
COPE’s evangelism and outreach ministries include Sunday worship, women’s Bible study, individual witness, parent prayer days, the Jesus Film, and weeklong teaching events for boys and girls. Its community programs include COPE House for children in need, Good Samaritan sponsorships, relief food, clean water, medical care, a bakery, canteen, Farming God’s Way, sewing, and jewelry projects. These efforts respond to needs in an area with limited employment and limited access to education and medical care.
People can engage with COPE Ministry by giving financially, sponsoring a child through the Good Samaritan Program, joining the prayer team, receiving newsletters, volunteering with fundraising or marketing, inviting COPE representatives to visit a church or group, supporting relief or growth projects, or participating in mission opportunities such as the 2026 Medical Mission Trip. Donations may be made online or mailed to the Lincoln, Illinois address.

Kairos Benevolence Fund — Organization Profile The Kairos Benevolence Fund (KBF) is a nonprofit ministry created to provide benevolent grants for aging Christian Church ministers and missionaries facing specific health or financial crises. KBF frames its purpose around honoring long-term “kingdom servants” who served faithfully but now find themselves without the resources to meet urgent needs. The organization invites churches and individual donors to participate by funding grants and helping create a culture of “honor, appreciation, and love” for ministry colleagues. KBF’s work is focused on identifying qualified ministry workers in hardship and providing targeted assistance when a crisis emerges—often related to medical bills, housing instability, unexpected emergencies, or other acute financial burdens.

Kairos Benevolence Fund — Organization Profile
The Kairos Benevolence Fund (KBF) is a nonprofit ministry created to provide benevolent grants for aging Christian Church ministers and missionaries facing specific health or financial crises. KBF frames its purpose around honoring long-term “kingdom servants” who served faithfully but now find themselves without the resources to meet urgent needs. The organization invites churches and individual donors to participate by funding grants and helping create a culture of “honor, appreciation, and love” for ministry colleagues.
KBF’s work is focused on identifying qualified ministry workers in hardship and providing targeted assistance when a crisis emerges—often related to medical bills, housing instability, unexpected emergencies, or other acute financial burdens. While needs vary case by case, the common thread is that grants are intended to meet a specific hardship rather than function as broad, ongoing support. KBF also regularly shares recipient stories to help donors understand the types of crises being addressed and how gifts translate into tangible relief.
Operationally, KBF describes a grant process with three main components: raising awareness of the need, evaluating grant applications, and distributing funds to meet approved needs. Grant decisions and disbursements are overseen by the board and a grant distribution team, and KBF notes that experienced ministry, missionary, and business professionals located across the United States help evaluate applications. KBF also communicates that gifts designated for a particular project are generally honored, while also noting that if a specific project is overfunded, excess gifts may be redirected to other approved projects or ministry operations.
KBF provides multiple pathways for someone to seek help or connect others to help. Individuals can apply for assistance through KBF’s application process, and supporters can also submit a referral (including an option to request anonymity). In those cases, KBF indicates the referred person will be contacted and invited to complete an application so the situation can be evaluated consistently and confidentially.
Supporters can engage through giving in several ways, including online donations, mailing a check, and certain non-cash gifts. KBF also lists a giving option through Zelle tied to a ministry email address used for donations. Beyond financial support, churches and individuals can participate by sharing needs, referring ministry colleagues, and staying connected to current projects and stories that highlight where assistance is needed most.
KBF’s leadership includes a board of directors and an executive staff team. The board is chaired by Shawn McMullen, with Cindy Willison serving as vice chair, alongside additional board members with backgrounds in local church ministry, missions, and nonprofit leadership. The organization’s executive leadership lists David Pace as founder and CEO, with operations, finance, and events roles supporting the day-to-day work of coordinating applications, donor relationships, and grant distribution.

Memphis School of Preaching (MSOP) — Organization Profile
Memphis School of Preaching (MSOP) is a Church of Christ-affiliated preaching school based in Memphis, Tennessee, dedicated to training men to preach the Word. MSOP operates alongside the Forest Hill Church of Christ and serves students who want concentrated Bible instruction and practical preparation for gospel preaching and congregational work.
MSOP’s public mission statement emphasizes “Preach the Word” and frames the school’s purpose around equipping students for ministry through focused study, spiritual formation, and hands-on experience. The school’s approach highlights a disciplined schedule and community life designed to help students grow in biblical knowledge, preaching ability, and Christian character while preparing for service in local churches and evangelistic work.
In addition to its core on-campus training, MSOP extends instruction and encouragement through several programs that reach beyond the classroom. The MOST Program (MSOP Ongoing Spiritual Training) provides free, university-level Bible instruction via live stream, allowing people who cannot relocate to participate in structured learning. MSOP also hosts an annual Lectureship—a week of Bible study and worship that draws participants to Memphis for teaching tracks and fellowship.
MSOP invests in next-generation development through Foundations, a summer training week for teenage boys (ages 13–19) held on the MSOP campus. The school also publishes the Yokefellow newsletter to encourage and inform supporters and alumni, and it features a weekly radio program, “Students of the Word,” connected with The Gospel Radio Network. Together, these efforts reflect an operating model that combines resident training with broader resources for churches, families, and individuals seeking biblical teaching.
Ways to engage with MSOP include visiting the campus, applying for admission, participating in programs like the Lectureship or MOST, and supporting the school financially. MSOP’s giving initiatives include “500 For The Five,” a recurring-donation effort aimed at helping cover major operational costs tied to key areas such as publications, events, facilities, and library support. Those interested in connecting can use MSOP’s contact page for office details and inquiries.

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.
