Missions

Stephen and Amelia serve the Hakka people in Taiwan. Of the 4.6 million Hakka people, only 0.5% of them are Christians. The Hakka people originated from Mainland China, but have scattered all around the world, mainly due to persecution. Predominant religion of the Hakka is Chinese Folk Religion and Hakka people are known for being practical, family oriented, hardworking, and traditional.

Stephen and Amelia are serving at Stephen's sending church as youth leaders, are preaching and running a kids program at a small church plant, serving on the SEND GCM (Global Chinese Ministries) leadership council, and serving new missionaries who come to Taiwan (lang. prep, supervision, orientation, etc.).

Over the last few years, Stephen and Amelia have felt the Lord changing their direction toward Central Asia. They were accepted by the team there and plan to transition there in the near future, ending their ministry in Taiwan at the end of August 2025.

Serving with Pioneers, a mission which focuses on unreached peoples, in Croatia, where the majority of people are culturally or traditionally Roman Catholic.

Most people in Croatia do not even know anyone who is a true follower of Jesus Christ and only about 0.1% are evangelical Christians (1 in 1,000).

Our local ministry is focused on work in and through the Baptist Church in Belica, preaching/pastoring, leading worship, women's ministry, English and other ministries for evangelism and discipleship. Benjamin and Heidi's ministry as Area Leaders covers a range of responsibilities in overseeing and administration of the Pioneers teams and members in Croatia and Serbia.

Locally and in the broader area, our focus is pointing people to and helping them know and follow Jesus Christ.

Becci works specifically with women, seeking to encourage, develop, and invest in them, as well as those they seek to reach.

TEDS is a broadly evangelical school that prides itself on theological diversity and encourages respectful engagement in difficult conversations and topics while remaining committed to the inerrancy of Scripture. Since our founding, we have taught creative and critical thinking while upholding gospel fidelity in an effort to fulfill the age-old adage, “in the essentials unity, in the non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity.”

We are a diverse community of cultures, church traditions, ideas, experiences, and stories. Our students come from all walks of life, different parts of the country, and around the world with a variety of experiences, hopes, and dreams. Yet we share the same DNA. We are all entrusted with the gospel—which requires us to know it, live it, and make it known. We seek to join faith and learning in a distinctive way at each of our TIU schools, inspiring possibilities as you explore how your Christian faith impacts every area of life.

Our collective desire to worship in faithfulness, mentor in hope, and build bridges in love unifies us all as we pursue academic excellence.

We exist to glorify God by multiplying transfor­mational churches among all people.

We aim to deepen theological knowledge with thought-provoking insight; remember God's faithfulness to His people; reverse division and expand the kingdom among all people; learn from leaders multiplying transformational churches; cultivate disciples at home and around the world; find inspiration and wisdom from pastors and leaders; explore the diverse, powerful work of EFCA churches; and engaging culture at the intersection of church and culture.

Pray for guidance and help in making disciples, leading churches, extending ministries, planting churches, reaching all people, and engaging the intersection of church and culture.

Journey Quest shares the hope of the Gospel with teens and families through adventures in the wilderness, utilizing rafting, rock climbing, backpacking, peak hikes, and challenge courses.

Our goal is to glorify God while sharing the hope of His Gospel with all who come on our trips, keeping Jesus Christ at the focal point of our ministry.

Each and every trip, whether it is a week-long combo trip, a full-day Royal Gorge adventure, or a 1/2 day family float trip has a much deeper purpose than just the adventure itself. Our guides seek to build a deep trust with their guests, directing the conversation to a meaningful spiritual conversation that will ultimately glorify Jesus Christ and proclaim the good news of the Gospel. We use intentional questions, thoughtful listening, relevant analogies, sharing from God’s Word, and allowing the Spirit of God to lead.
