Heart of God International Ministries

JournEzine is just one of the many outreaches of Heart of God International Ministries.  This ministry reaches beyond our borders into third world countries, spreading the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ into regions where no one else dares to go.

Heart of God International Ministries is a family of ministries devoted to encouraging, strengthening, and building the Body of Christ.  Like any "family", all aspects of Heart of God International Ministries work together with one another for a common cause ... seeing the Kingdom of God established in the hearts and homes of people across the globe and seeking out to reach the lost, wherever and whoever they might be. 

Our purpose is to bring unity to the Body of Christ, so that we might truly be “one” as Jesus prayed: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” (John 17:20-23)

And, as “one” in Him, our goal is to build and strengthen the Kingdom of God one heart at a time.  We believe it takes individuals who are strong in the Lord to make strong families, strong communities, strong churches, and strong influences in the earth today. 

We do not seek to bring division or draw away from the local church, but to nurture believers so they will become strong leaders in their respective churches.  We do this in many ways including Bible Studies, Seminars, Retreats, Online Ministry, JournEzine (our online magazine), International Evangelism (we organize missions trips, train the team members, and lead them on life-changing trips into regions of the world where the Gospel is literally unheard and people are hungry and thirsty for the Truth), Publications, and more. 

Heart of God International Ministries has recently broadened its influence to include Soldiers Bible Ministry and Christian Military Wives as partners in the dynamic ministry to the military and their families.

To learn more, visit our website and missions blog.  Feel free to contact us with any questions. 

We covet your prayers as we continue to fulfill God's commission to "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel."
