Partner Agencies
The world abounds with good organizations doing meaningful work. Global Ministries gladly embraces other like-minded organizations, recognizing that by working together, much more can be accomplished.
We have established strong partnerships with a number of organizations.
Samaritan's Purse
Samaritan's Purse is a Christian relief and development organization headed by Franklin Graham. They work around the world, and have developed a high level of expertise as “first responders” in disaster situations--earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, etc. When a disaster strikes an area where we have churches, we may channel relief funds through Samaritan's Purse to multiple the impact of our own efforts.
CH Global
CH Global (Christian Horizons) is a Canadian organization that we partner with in Haiti. When the 2010 earthquake struck, CH Global was able to deliver help directly to several of our UB churches. CH Global also operates a child sponsorship program that allows at-risk and disabled children to receive an education, medical care, nutrition, and spiritual care through the efforts of our local UB churches in Haiti. Numerous United Brethren people sponsor Haitian children through CH Global.
US Center for World Mission (USCWM)
The U. S. Center for World Mission (USCWM) is a mission agency that helps to improve strategic decision-making and practice on the frontiers of mission, surmounting the barriers that hinder God’s kingdom from coming among all peoples. This focus is reflected in the USCWM’s many publications, programs, and projects. Members of Frontier Mission Fellowship, an umbrella organization, staff the USCWM. Two of our endorsed staff members serve with FMF.
Wycliffe Bible Translators
William Cameron Townsend founded Wycliffe in 1942. A missionary to the Cakchiquel Indians of Guatemala, Townsend caught the vision for translation when Cakchiquel-speaking men expressed their concern that the Bible was not available to them in the language they understood clearly. As a result, Townsend resolved that every man, woman, and child should be able to read God’s Word in their own language.
Since its inception, Wycliffe has made great progress in Bible translation all around the world. To date, they have played a part in completing more than 700 Scripture Translations. Currently, we have eleven endorsed staff members working with Wycliffe.
One Mission Society (OMS)
From its beginning in 1901, OMS has emphasized the training of nationals as church leaders and workers. OMS International began ministry in Japan in 1901 as the Oriental Missionary Society. Today, OMS ministers in more than 40 countries throughout Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa. OMS-related churches now number more than 7000, with a combined membership in excess of one million people. We currently have three staff members serving with OMS.
JAARS
When the organization began in 1948, they offered two services: aviation and radio. They were appropriately named "Jungle Aviation and Radio Service" and often went by the acronym, "J.A.A.R.S."
However, for more than 60 years they have consistently expanded their support services to meet the changing needs of translation teams. JAARS is a nonprofit organization committed to speeding Bible translation for all people. They provide technical support services and resources to Wycliffe Bible Translators, SIL International, and related organizations around the world. We currently have four endorsed staff members working with JAARS.
Operation Mobilization
OM's role in the Church is to mobilize people to share the knowledge of Jesus and His love with every generation in every nation. OM pioneers and leads initiatives to redeem lives, rebuild communities, and restore hope in over 110 countries. We have two endorsed staff members and another five staff from our Asian United Brethren churches that serve with OM.
SEND
SEND International is an evangelical missions community committed to mobilizing God's people and engaging the unreached in order to establish reproducing churches.
For over 50 years, SEND has started churches among unreached people groups. SEND has more than 600 missionaries in 20 plus countries, and has a variety of long-term and short-term opportunities for you to share the gospel in places where Christ is not yet known. We have two endorsed staff members serving with SEND.
World Gospel Outreach
WGO has a ministry in Honduras that seeks to serve and reach the poor for Christ, provide care for displaced or abandoned children, and provide opportunities for the North American Church to "experience the joy that comes through serving." We currently have one endorsed staff member serving with WGO.
Campus Crusade for Christ (CCC)
CCC seeks to fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit by winning people to faith in Jesus Christ, building them in their faith, and sending them to win and build others; and helping the Body of Christ do evangelism and discipleship.
Bill and Vonette Bright founded Campus Crusade in 1951 on the UCLA campus. Today it has a presence in 191 countries and over 25,000 staff. We have two endorsed staff working with CCC.
European Christian Mission (ECM)
European Christian Mission International is an international and inter-denominational organization of evangelical Christians called by God and commissioned by local churches to serve in partnership in the evangelization of the peoples of Europe.
Founded in 1904, ECM currently works in 17 countries of Europe, with 150 workers and partners from 20 countries around the world. We currently have two endorsed staff members serving with ECM.
Youth with a Mission (YWAM)
Youth With A Mission is an international volunteer movement of Christians from many backgrounds, cultures, and Christian traditions dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. Also known as YWAM (pronounced "WHY-wham"), their purpose is simply to know God and to make Him known.
They currently operate in more than 1000 locations in over 150 countries, with a staff of nearly 16,000. We have one endorsed staff member serving with YWAM.
