The questions and answers on this page may help to provide you with a better understanding of Empower Ministries International.

The name "Empower" is taken from Acts 1:8 where the Bible tells us:

"but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

This ministry was established with the goal of of trying to empower His Church around the world - to give it the tools and necessary resources to fulfill its ministry. Thus the name "Empower."

It is true that we would be of no help in equipping the burgeoning Church overseas without funds. But, fundraising is not our motivation.

Our goal is not just to invite people to meet needs around the world. Instead, we want our partners to be confident that they are investing wisely in something that will multiply over and over again and will last for eternity. At the same time, we want our partners to be confident that they are as valuable and important to us as those we are equipping overseas.

Because national workers are:

* Fluent in their native language

* Proven communicators of the Gospel to fellow countrymen
* Culturally attuned
* Able to live and work effectively in harsh economic and hostile religious environments

The Church in America can assist the National Church in three specific ways, as reported to us by the Christian leaders in country after country around the world:

1. Pray that God will give them the courage and the opportunities to preach the Word of God.
2. Pray that God will open the ears of all the lost souls to whom they are ministering.
3. Provide needed physical tools to carry out their ministries. They need Bibles -millions and millions of Bibles! They need New Testaments and tracts. Sometimes they need a bicycle, or a motorcycle. Other times their need is for teaching materials or funding to get all their pastors together in a certain locale to teach them and to train them in the Word of God.

There are two primary ways:

1. Give them the Word of God. They need Bibles and New Testaments by the millions for new believers. Empower Ministries International prints these at low prices. For example, a Chinese Bible printed on commercial presses for the house church movement is $2.50. A Spanish New Testament is only $.65.

2. Their other great need is for short-term national worker support. You can support a national worker and his family, providing them with food, housing, clothing and some transportation money for as little as $30 per month.

This is how you can lead hundreds to Christ without leaving America: Empower national believers to win the lost and equip them to disciple His Church.
