Jesus is the message of the Gospel that transforms lives and changes everything!
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Romans 10:11-15
We believe that all people deeply matter to God and that pastors and ministry leaders are essential to His redemptive plan to free us from sin and restore our relationship with Him.
2025 has been a fruitful year. We’ve held 10 different training conferences to encourage and equip hundreds of pastoral couples. Their ministries have helped restore relationships and reach tens of thousands of people with the Good News.
Here are a few of the comments from our attendees:
“This conference took place at just the right time for us. We have never been to something like this as a couple and God knew exactly what we needed. We connected in new ways and felt very loved through the many special details.”
“We have a marriage ministry in our church and oversee family ministry education for over 500 churches throughout Honduras. We’re going to teach what we have learned this week.”
“The teachings about grace renewed our love towards God, to stay with him not because of our works, but because of love and holiness. We decided to have more grace in our relationship, which we think will affect our future.”
In 2026, we look forward to serving pastoral couples in several new areas and to continue expanding our Eastern Europe and Latin America regional teams. Please join us in praying for our 2026 trainings:
