Missions

The Kingdom of God is made up of people from all over the world, including people of every race, tongue, and tribe. This truth leads us to strive for a Kingdom focus, knowing that the body of Christ is bigger than our church and community. This focus plays out in both our commitment to support long-term missions throughout the world as well as going on short term mission trips as a body.

The El Salvador team aims to bring healing and hope by planting a church that embodies Jesus’ love. Despite its history of civil war, poverty, and addiction, the people are extraordinarily kind and resilient. Pray that God will use this church to transform cultural patterns of violence and despair, shaping El Salvador’s future. The Jones family reaches out to diverse individuals, sharing the gospel, discipling in grace, and fostering a healthy believer community that spreads hope. The harvest is plentiful, but laborers are few.

Anthem Music Missions seeks to bring the love and light of Christ to those in despair. Their focus includes spreading the gospel through music worldwide, providing missionary respite care at the Yoo’s home and elsewhere, and training Asian believers for Native American missions. They aim to build diverse mission teams reflecting the Body of Christ and comforting those they serve. The Yoos have led teams in various contexts, including international trips, urban projects, reservation work, and support for trauma survivors. 

Since 1985, the vision of the Rafiki Foundation has been to cultivate many godly contributors through Bible study and classical Christian education. To accomplish this, Rafiki established 10 Rafiki Training Villages within the African countries of Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Rafiki’s vision is carried out in each Village through six programs: Bible Study, Education, Teacher Training, Orphan Care, Outreach, and Widows.

Christ calls us to love our neighbors (Matthew 22:39). In America, Indigenous people were our first neighbors, yet they live in conditions like many third-world nations. Since the 1855 treaty creating the Yakama Indian Reservation, the culture and dreams of the Yakama people have gradually disintegrated. Sacred Road Ministries (SRM) was founded in February 2005 to love our “first neighbors.” Since then, the ministry has been equipped to redeem broken lives, restore hope to the oppressed, and rebuild communities on the Yakama and Warm Springs reservations.

The Van de Hoeves serve since July 2017 in Belgium. Edgar supports the growing international team as the personnel officer. He helps new workers with visa applications and all the logistics of coming to and staying in the country. We want to see vibrant communities of Jesus followers among the unreached in Belgium.

Currently, Buddy is working with WDA Philippines staff to develop a network for training and support for churches that do not have access to biblical materials. As an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America, he is actively involved in his church in Atlanta volunteering as a worship leader, teaching and preaching.

Chi Alpha is derived from the Greek words "Christou apostoloi" which means "Christ’s ambassador." We get our name from 2 Corinthians 5:20 where Paul calls us ambassadors for Christ. We are Christ's ambassadors and carry His message of salvation to our friends. Chi Alpha exists to give every college student in northern Iowa and opportunity to encounter the love of God and grow in relationship with Jesus and others.

Johan and Kathleen Pittet, with their daughter Aurore, live in southeastern Chad, focusing on well-drilling and language development for an unreached minority. Translation requires extensive language learning and relationship building, especially in the early years. The Sahel region faces a critical need for clean water, with under 30% of the population having access. Johan, a Mechanical Engineer, and Kathleen hope to meet physical needs as a testimony to Living Water, believing God's Word will transform the community they serve.

RUF at KSU began in 2006 and exists to reach students for Christ and equip them to serve. Whether you are committed or just curious, convinced or unconvinced, burned-out or on-fire, RUF at KSU welcomes you to consider the claims of Jesus Christ in community with others at KSU. RUF is for students and seeks to be a gospel-driven gracious community.

Campus Outreach is a Christian organization on the college campus dedicated to multiplying Christ-like leaders. They work to help students grow in their walk with God, become leaders, and build deep relationships. Many of the students on the West Ga. campus might have heard a sermon or attended a pregame devotional, but very few have read or even owned a Bible. In the fall of 2023 thirty men committed to reading the book of John, and 13 of them made professions of faith!

Our counselors are located throughout Georgia and meet with women across the state. With our experience we have learned how to best come alongside pregnant women to provide guidance and support.
