The Church Revitalization Podcast – Episode 218
We mention every week on The Church Revitalization Podcast that we are a non-profit ministry that supports churches around the world. We rarely go into detail on that work, though. Today, on Giving Tuesday, we thought it would be a good time to let you in on some of the upcoming mission projects that we are working on.
It has been an exciting time of global expansion for us since the start of the pandemic. The Lord has blessed us greatly by introducing us to pastors and ministry leaders from all over the world and allowing us to learn about their work and needs. Moreover, allowing us to be of some help, however so small, is the greatest blessing of all. We love Christ’s Church and the role we get to play in building it up to bring the Gospel to the nations.
Here are just some of the mission projects we have coming up in 2024 that you can partner with us in.

By equipping up to 100 pastors and church planters with advanced training, this project not only enhances the spiritual guidance of many congregations but also establishes a sustainable model for future church development through the mentorship of a native Ethiopian.
