The Global Justice Ministry at Encounter Church exists to alleviate spiritual, social, and economic poverty among the most neglected people in the world as a tangible expression of God's love. Our hope is that people from every language, culture, and ethnic group experience the joy, hope, peace, purpose, and eternal life that comes only through a personal relationship with Jesus.

​

This support takes shape in four beautiful ways:

​

1. Financial Support

Encounter provides funding that strengthens our partners' ability to do ministry well, especially as they plant churches and meet the practical needs of the people around them.

​​

2. Raising the Platform of Partners

Our role is to amplify, not to lead. By coming alongside our partners with humility and respect, we help them reach new communities, deepen trust with local residents, and build credibility as they plant churches and serve. We hope to be a bridge, one that connects, supports, and extends the reach of a partner's ministry long after a team returns home.

​

3. Encouraging Local Workers

Many of our partners serve faithfully in places with limited outside support, often carrying the work with great courage and heart. Our presence reminds these workers that they are seen, valued, and cherished. Through prayer, shared meals, and simply showing up with open hearts, we hope to bring encouragement and affirm that their work matters deeply. The most meaningful thing we offer isn't our skill, but our solidarity. 

​

4. Mobilizing the Home Church

Short-term trips are as much about what we receive as what we give. We believe these experiences grow our faith, reshape our priorities, and stir new passion for God's global mission. When team members return home, they carry a wonderful opportunity to share what they've seen and experienced, so others in our church family might be inspired to pray, send, and go. We return changed, as storytellers and advocates.
