Their strategy for this mission is to start indigenous churches through evangelism and outreach, strengthening the local church by equipping them through leadership and discipleship training, and serving others through the local church (medical clinics, water wells, poverty and education programs) as a platform to share the Gospel and connect people to the local church.

Mongolia – VET NET

Mongolia V.E.T. Net is a national NGO that has come from the work of Christian Veterinary Mission in Mongolia. In 1995, Gerald and Frances Mitchum moved to Mongolia to begin the CVM work. The Mitchums began a hospitality ministry to students at the Mongolian Veterinary School. Through the growth of Christianity, a small handful of believers banded together into an organization called Vet Net. Later this would be changed to V.E.T. Net, a network of veterinarians and educators training professionals throughout Mongolia to gain the opportunity to share the hope found within. The goal is to bring genuine change to the rural, urban, and university people of Mongolia through the love and message of Jesus Christ through veterinarian ministry and rural education ministry.

Ryan & Abby Pintar

Michigan – Bridges International, CRU & University of Michigan

Ryan and Abby serve the needs of college students through CRU and Bridges International. Through their missional work, they share the Gospel with traditional college students and international students studying at the University of Michigan. Students are hungry for the truth of the Gospel. Many international students’ home countries are within the “10/40 window,” a term missionaries often use to describe nations between 10 and 40 degrees north of the equator. These nations are generally reported to have the least access to Christian recourses globally. CRU is committed to reaching all college students in the hopes of building and sending Christ-centered, multiplying disciples who launch spiritual movements throughout the US and across the globe. 

Ryan & Paula Kling

ReachGlobal Crisis Response

ReachGlobal Crisis Response values people over projects, meaning, the relationships building with homeowners and neighbors, and sharing the Gospel with them, is a priority over the physical project. They had been in Morehead City in response to Hurricane Florence, which hit the area hard in 2018, helping to rebuild homes that were damaged by the hurricane and subsequent hurricanes in years after. Their hope is to serve a physical need but to have an eternal impact; everyone who interacts with the staff and volunteers at ReachGlobal will see and hear about the love of Christ.
