Mile One Mission - Newfoundland, Canada

Mile One Mission is a church planting ministry  focused on planting gospel-centered churches throughout Newfoundland & Labrador in Canada. Newfoundland, and St. John’s in particular, is one of the least-reached and most overlooked areas in North America, though it has cultural roots in Catholicism. There are very few evangelical churches in the area and church planting is a slow and difficult process. Within Mile One Mission, we are relationally partnering with two of its church plants, both in St. John's:

• Downtown Community Church

• Rabbittown Community Church

Serve Hope - Guatemala & Honduras

Serve Hope is a Christ-centered nonprofit focused on meeting the physical and spiritual needs of local communities in Guatemala and Honduras. Their initiatives are based on four pillars: Biblical discipleship, community development, career training, and education—all with the overarching goal of making disciples of Jesus. Whether it’s youth soccer outreaches, housing construction and improvement projects, or Biblical training for entrepreneurs, each ministry initiative is led alongside a local church. Serve Hope also currently supplies our coffee on Sunday mornings, and the proceeds help provide water filters to Central American families in need. 

Peniel Ministries, Southern India

Peniel Ministries was established in 1980 originally as a church planting operation. The name Peniel was chosen serving as an extension of the deep longing and desire for the people in their region to encounter God in a life changing manner, as Jacob had in Genesis 32:30. Through their church planting efforts (where over 60 churches have been planted over the years!), the realization for big needs arose: first for a school and then for a children's home. There is now a boys' and girls' home, with a focus on counseling through much trauma; as well as three schools in the slums and villages of southern India.

Albania

Raised in Muslim households in Albania, Gedis and Çeljeta both made decisions to follow Christ in 2006. After a few years in university spent growing deeper in their faith, they met and began serving students alongside Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) in Tirana, the capital city. Before and since their 2016 marriage, they kept meeting and discipling students, leading CRU's small group Bible studies, learning about church planting, and sharing the Gospel with students in Albania and beyond. The pair just moved from Tirana to Elbasan, Albania's third largest city, to continue their work with students through CRU. The Mankas have a little boy named Nathaniel.
