Frontiers is working to fulfill the Great Commission among Muslim people groups that do not know the saving message of Jesus Christ. Its global priorities focus on the regions with the largest concentrations of unengaged Muslim people groups. Frontiers recruits, trains, and sends church planting teams to live in the Muslim world. John and Laura train and equip field team members, team leaders and overseers who serve in over 40 countries. In addition, John has created a handbook and website for a successful peacemaking program that has been in high demand by many other Christian ministries, especially in areas of conflict. The program was developed out of years of leadership and peacemaking training that John has conducted. They, like other ministries, have successfully made the transition to teach their courses online in 2020.

Icthus helps young people who live in poor communities to learn about Christian service and leadership. They exist in 15 countries in Latin America and the US. Each group runs like a club in partnership with a local church. Today, 11,000 young people are being taught lessons in Christian character, skills, and good habits. Many Icthus children go on to become guides for the next generation. More than 100,000 young people have been through the program. Latin America is experiencing growing hardship because of COVID-19.  It is affecting the lives of every Icthus child, their families, churches and communities. Kids are isolated and prevented from getting together for Icthus activities as well as school. In response, they started a program called Icthus At Home. One of the activities is delivering food to help families affected by low employment.

When people get the opportunity to read the Bible in a language they understand best, scripture comes alive and lives are changed. This is Brian and Julie O’s passion and life work. Brian’s focus on the Russian language has led them to a region in need of a translated Bible. He has continued to work with a team of translators in Russia to translate several books of the Bible into one of the Caucasian languages. A bold timeline has produced successful translations of Ruth, Esther, Jonah, 9 parables from Luke, and Matthew. Acts and Genesis are currently in different stages of development.

ITS works with churches and organizations throughout the world to identify men and women who demonstrate capacity, characteristics and commitment for spiritual leadership. Students come from over 20 nations throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe. Upon graduation, the students return to their home countries as pastors, professors, missionaries, and denominational and community leaders to transform their local communities into vibrant places of worship, mission and justice. A partnership with ITS has provided ACC with exceptional global mission partners to work with. Helping them develop and realize their visions for ministry has been a mutual blessing. The pandemic was a catalyst for launching a new distance learning program in 2020. Improving access to a rigorous US degree while significantly reducing travel and cost of living expenses is hastening their global mission.
