Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

By the end of 2024 we are asking God for the privilege to serve Him in:
190 Countries
790 Languages
310 UUPGs
165 NT Translations underway
3.2 million house churches among unreached people

1. RESCUE unreached people from the evils of slavery
Since 2014 RUN Ministries has rescued, sheltered, and offered hope to more than 280,000 refugees. Our local teams provide food, shelter, and aid while sharing our faith in Christ.

2. EMPOWER leaders with training and tools for evangelism and discipleship.
A key to RUN's impact is providing continual, practical, leadership-focused, outcome-driven training for in-country house church leaders. RUN has trained more than one million house church leaders to establish micro-businesses and to plant healthy, reproducing churches in some of the most restricted nations on earth.

3. MULTIPLY movements for good.

RUN Ministries cultivates a leadership development and church planting movement culture by providing every house church leader training opportunities as a part of it's 5 year leadership track. As leader's grow in their capacity they take responsibility for:
Church Planting, Micro-Business, Humanitarian Relief, Scripture Translation and a number of other focused efforts. National and regional leaders help oversee the direction and growth of the various church planting movements.

We are currently in 170 countries, more than 780 languages and 3 million churches.
