groups are doing around the world.
American Freedom Assembly,
a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting the principles of true
freedom through the assembly format. We help young people understand that
the solution must come from within. Only through their good decisions on a
day by day basis will they be able to take control of their lives.
Ariel Ministries, created to evangelize and disciple our Jewish brethren, has
been born from necessity to meet an urgent need. Ariel means “Lion of God,”
representing the Messiah Jesus as the Lion of Judah. It is also an alternate
name for Jerusalem (Isaiah 29:1) – the city of peace now waiting for the
Prince of Peace to return.
Austin Bible Church,
Austin, Texas: Pastor Bob Bolender; Austin Bible Church is a body of
Church Age believer-priests in Christ. The primary emphasis of Austin Bible
Church is on teaching the Bible line upon line, precept upon precept. This
teaching, in turn, provides for God's working in and through us for His good
pleasure.
BEE World: "BEE World provides
seminary level biblical education to pastors and church leadership who have
limited access to such education. Most of these leaders live in restricted
access countries. Our ministry vision is to provide access to effective
life-changing biblical training to those leaders desiring to mature as a
disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ."
With the explosive expansion of Christ's church, a huge leadership
crisis is growing. Currently, 5,000,000 pastors need training and
4,000,000 more pastors are needed for existing congregations. Many of
the churches in restricted access countries are most severely affected
by the current leadership crisis."
Berachah Church,
founded in 1935 as a nondenominational local church. Berachah is the Hebrew
word for "kneel, salute, praise." The purpose of Berachah Church is to
evangelize the unbeliever and teach the believer to fulfill God’s plan,
will, and purpose for his life. This is accomplished through exegetical and
expository communication of Bible doctrine, the body of teaching drawn from
literal interpretation of the Scriptures.

Jesus Christ from than your own father, mother, Sunday School teacher, or
friend? For more than thirty years, we have been helping Christians make the
gospel clear, and to make it simple, to those they care about. We are a
non-denominational, non-profit Christian ministry whose goal is to partner
with Christians, Churches, and other Christian organizations to make the
gospel of Jesus Christ known to all those who are not trusting in Christ
alone for their salvation.

Glenhaven Youth Ranch, Plainview, Arkansas, For nearly twenty years, Glenhaven has provided long-term, Christian
residential placement for young men at risk. It is a place of peace and
beauty, isolated from many of the adverse outside influences of the
world. As the cattle quietly graze in the pastures, the homes and school
are a hub of activity and learning. It is in these settings, that young
men come to terms with the struggles that each have inside of
themselves. The young men who come to live at Glenhaven have behavior
problems, which include rebellion and disobedience. Most are behind
academically, or have some form of learning disability. Many of the
young men have a history of neglect, abandonment or abuse. Their fathers
are often absent from their lives due to death or divorce. Consequently,
these young men experience difficulty in developing healthy
relationships and struggle to trust other people or God. *Supported

Operation Grace World Missions:
Operation Grace World Missions supports Christian ministries proclaiming the
Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ throughout the world. Though each of these
ministries are completely independent, they share common values and the goal
of accurately presenting the message that God offers eternal salvation to
everyone through faith alone in Christ alone. Most of these ministries seek
to establish local churches with indigenous Pastor-Teachers. We provide
operating funds as believers are motivated by their appreciation of the Word
of God to contribute voluntarily to the dissemination of the Gospel and
Bible Doctrine. OGWM never solicits funds; however, we unabashedly solicit
your prayers on behalf of those we serve.

Bible
Pre-Trib Research Center
Village Ministries International:

International is a non-denominational Christian ministry designed
to take both the gospel and the teaching of God's Word to the people of
the world. The target areas are villages and remote cities that
ordinarily would not be exposed to missionary activity or Bible
teaching. *Supported by Spokane Bible Church
