In our story so far, we've invited you into our journey: from our individual calls to the mission field and the challenges of an independent path, to the divine confirmations that led us to this expanded vision for Eternal King Ministries. We've shared how our experiences have shaped us and how God led us to this point. Today, we are thrilled to share the heart of EKM: some of the specific ways our church ministers, and how we envision our mission branch will serve missionaries, all for the glory of our Eternal King.

Eternal King Ministries: More Than an Organization, It's a Calling

The name "Eternal King Ministries" is not just a title; it's the very foundation of our purpose. It speaks to our unwavering belief in the unchanging, sovereign reign of Jesus Christ. He is the Eternal King, and our ministry exists to serve His Kingdom and uphold those He sends to proclaim His name. Our approach to every aspect of EKM is rooted in His authority, His love, and His power.

Our Commitment: How EKM Will Minister and Serve

EKM is a church dedicated to ministering in the active and living faith of Jesus Christ. With our 14 years of combined experience on the mission field, our goal is to make Jesus known, whether in the church or outside of it, locally and globally.

Some of our church's ministries include:

• Preaching the Gospel: We love reminding the Body of Christ about the finished work of the cross while also carrying the Gospel to areas that have not yet heard the name of Jesus.

• Teaching the Word of God: We are honored to teach God’s Word, trusting the Holy Spirit to unveil His truth and draw people into a deeper relationship with Him.

• Discipleship: We help believers deepen their relationship with God and encourage them on their journey to become faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

• Prayer: We are humbled and honored when people trust us enough to share the details of their pain with us, and we are dedicated to praying for the sick and for those in spiritual bondage. We have witnessed the Holy Spirit ministering to their needs with His power.

• Church Planting: We are passionate about the mission of planting new churches and enjoy partnering with God in uniting His people to worship and seek Him corporately. Beyond our direct church ministries, we have a specific and passionate focus on supporting missionaries, whether they're already on the field or being sent. This is the heart of our mission branch.

Our Vision for the Mission Branch

Building on our own experiences and the needs we've observed, our vision for the mission branch is to provide comprehensive support so that missionaries can thrive and focus wholeheartedly on their divine assignments. We want to honor the individual journey of each missionary, and provide a flexible framework of resources that empowers their work without imposing a rigid structure. We are working towards these goals as we raise the necessary funds to build our team:

• Financial Support: As a ministry of giving, our goal is to offer all of our missionary assistance for free, including direct financial support, training, administrative support, and any other services in the future. We aim to cover all operational and bank fees associated with donations. By doing this, we ensure that the missionaries we support receive the full amount of every contribution, and that their donors can make tax-deductible gifts.

• Individualized Support: We recognize that every person and every calling is unique. Our commitment is to respect the distinct path God has for each missionary, which is why we will always reject a one-size-fits-all model. Instead of imposing rigid regulations, we plan to offer a wide range of services designed to support the missionaries we hope to serve—not restrict them. All of our resources will be available, but none will ever be mandatory.

• Spiritual Care & Mentorship: The mission field can be isolating. We will work to provide a lifeline of spiritual encouragement, prayer support, and mentorship to foster resilience and deep spiritual health.

• Targeted Training: Our vision is to equip missionaries with relevant skills for their unique contexts, including cultural adaptation and practical training such as how to steward their relationship with God, effectively share the Gospel, make disciples, and create a structured routine.

• Community Building: We want to create a sense of belonging and network among independent missionaries, combating loneliness and fostering collaboration.

• Prayer Mobilization: We hope to create a dedicated prayer support structure, actively rallying people to connect with missionaries for specific prayer requests. This is designed to promote consistent communication, ensuring missionaries know they are not alone and are being upheld by a community of intercessors. Our ultimate goal is to strengthen the hands of God’s messengers, advancing His Kingdom across the globe, and mobilizing the Body of Christ to participate in the Great Commission. We want to do this with great love and respect for the independent and unconventional callings God places on many of His messengers.
