Our Mission

Jesus’ teachings transforms the self-serving imperatives of the fallen world into relationships built on agape love and mutual respect. Through them, Empower provides leaders in developing countries with tools that allow them to become change agents in their own cultures.

Empower International Ministries combats the root cause of abuse, abandonment, and injustice, so that families can be healed, communities restored, and culture transformed.

Empower provides leaders in developing and historically non-Christian countries with Bible-based skills to become change agents in their own communities.

Our Bible-based programs teach the equal worth and potential for unity among all human beings, regardless of gender, ethnicity, social, age, or family status. We also provide trauma-recovery training and skills for caregivers of abused, orphaned, and traumatized children.

We seek to emulate the early Christian church in:

God’s love for us and its meaning for the way we treat each other in marriage, family, and community.

Our Strategy

Empower International Ministries provide church and community leaders with tools that equip them to become change agents in their own cultures. The local leaders incorporate this vision into their ministries, and are themselves in charge of applying the trainings in culturally-relevant ways.

An important component in these relationships is EIM’s openness to what we in the developed world can learn from our fellow Christians in the developing countries. We have applied what we have learned to developing Face-to-Face, study guides for individuals and for couples in the United States.

Our programs are received enthusiastically.

We have more requests for our programs than we are able to accommodate.
