A New Rhythm

You gave a young teenager a way out of drugs and into a relationship with God.

Eleazar wasn’t interested in God or church. His parents were pastors in Tijuana, Mexico, but going to church and reading the Bible was just part of a boring routine for Eleazar. When his family moved to another part of the city for his parents’ ministry, Eleazar’s life changed—but not for the better.

Hearing the Christmas Story

Resonate Global Mission missionaries and the churches they work with use Christmas as an opportunity to share the gospel with people who rarely set foot in church. Last Christmas, Sunday School teachers at a church in Honduras staged a pageant.

Equipped to Share the Gospel

“Kids who come to church often invite their friends from school or next door to join them,” said Caspar Geisterfer, Resonate Global Mission missionary in Honduras.

‘I Want to Make This Christian Walk My Own Walk’

‘Jesus Is God’

Arman* had no idea he was looking for Jesus—not until your Resonate Global Mission missionary Ray De Lange told him that Jesus is God.

Open to a New Message

Born in the Middle East, Arman was surrounded by Islamic ideas, customs, and beliefs. Arman did not find peace in Islam, but he never questioned his religion—he couldn’t question Islam. Not in his country. Not unless he wanted to face harsh consequences.

Ministry in the Mountains
You’re helping people in a remote area hear the good news of Jesus.
Amid the rocky terrain of one of the world’s highest mountain ranges in Central Asia lives a people group who had never heard about Jesus. There are no schools on these mountaintops, no health clinics, no electricity. There are no roads and no easy routes for visiting.

But because you sent Resonate missionary Matt* and his team, these isolated people heard the gospel.

Called to Share God's Blessings
A message from director Zachary King

You can help people here in North America find out what it truly means to love like Jesus.

One of the church plants you partner with through Resonate has found that, sometimes, what people need most is a neighbor. Hesed Community Church in Detroit grew out of the deep roots of the CRC. They rely on the support of trained pastors and missionaries, and mission-minded people like you. But their ministry doesn’t look like a traditional church—it looks like a home.

An Open Heart and Mind
Nana* could recite Bible verses word for word, but it took many years for Nana to open her heart to the truth of the gospel. Resonate Global Mission missionary Laura* discipled Nana every step of the way, and God revealed himself to Nana in miraculous ways.
A Disconnect between the Head and the Heart
Nana’s mother was the first Christ follower in a Muslim-majority village where Laura serves. Nana grew up going to church and hearing Bible stories, but she also grew up teased and picked on for her mother’s faith.

A Ministry to "Taco ‘Bout"
Resonate Global Mission missionaries Charles and Hensel Oh in the Philippines have started a taco shop ministry.

“Almost everyone can get a job here in this country … but the jobs they can easily get pay no more than 60 cents per hour after taxes and Social Security,” said Charles. After rent, food bills, and transportation costs, the meager salaries aren’t enough for people to live on.

“Just barely enough to survive,” said Charles.

The Struggle of “Reaching Out” to Your Community
Anxious faces. Defeated plans. Frustration. Losing heart. Is this what we signed up for when we joined the Missions and Outreach Committee at church? We wanted to be part of spurring our church on. Encouraging them to love and good deeds. We tried to fulfill our mandate, and we thought we had people on our side, but in the end everything we tried failed. What’s wrong with our church? What else can we do? We think we might tell the council it’s time to fold the committee.
