About

OUR MISSION

To take the Gospel to the ends of the earth - EveryONE deserves to know …

Our Vision

A world saturated with the glory and knowledge of Christ.

Our Story

Our journey began in December 2003 with a clear mission: to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyONE on the planet. Since our beginnings we have traveled to every corner of the globe to preach, teach, and train pastors. These men and women have planted churches in every conceivable environment; whether under a tree, in a cave, in an abandoned graveyard, office building or traditional church; they share the love and truth of Christ. Nevertheless, these efforts have always been a result of many parts of the body joining forces to share Jesus.

That is where you can play a significant role in the story of Gospel advancement. We believe when you discover your God-given passions and align them with meaningful opportunities for expression the church grows. We believe you have a deep desire to do good, to help those in need, and to witness lives being touched by mercy. But perhaps you’ve wondered, “How can I make a meaningful impact?”

For over two decades, we have been on an incredible journey, taking people just like you, to the farthest corners of the globe to witness the human condition and experience firsthand the plight of those in need. In this process, hundreds of individuals have discovered and confirmed their passions for helping others. While we are not a humanitarian organization per se, we utilize every avenue, including humanitarian efforts, to open doors for the good news of Jesus Christ to be shared.
