Ministry Overview


Mission Statement


Ministries In Action's mission is to share the WHOLE GOSPEL with the WHOLE PERSON. We accomplish this by working through local churches.

Programs


Ministries In Action is an interdenominational Christian missionary organization serving the people of the Caribbean, Latin America and South Florida. MIA works with local churches to help them share the love of Jesus.  The majority of MIA's efforts are implemented through three programs, which are designed to help churches meet bring both spiritual and physical hope to their communities.

Evangelism and Church Growth: MIA helps churches to more effectively share the good news of Jesus with their communities.  Keep Reading...

Theological Training: Many pastors in the area we work do not have access to tradition means of theological training, so we take the training to them.  Keep Reading...

Project Ebenezer (Social Outreach): This is currently the largest area of our ministry. Project Ebenezer works with churches to help them meet the physical needs in their communities.  Keep Reading...
