Overview

Mission

In Touch Mission International seeks to partner with and enhance the ministries of godly national Christians who are reaching their communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and making disciples.

What it reported doing in 2024

Partners with national christians and u.s. Citizens who have lived long term in the field. These individuals face a variety of challenges as they reach their communities for christ and present the gospel to the people they serve. We trust god to provide for their needs and the tools necessary to reach their communities through funds provided by charitable contributions. Their needs include facilities, education, training, funding for bibles, and other needs. We chose to partner with those supported because of their knowledge of their communities, including culture, local needs, they speak the language, and because the cost is far less than sending and maintaining american missionaries in the field. We have ministry partners in poland, romania, south africa, sudan, uganda, zambia, and india.
