If we are not sharing the good news ourselves, we can still be part of the work by supporting those who are. The ministries listed below were founded by friends I met in ministry school—people whose lives, calling, and fruit I have seen firsthand.

Street Ministries
Ministries serving people directly in public spaces through presence, prayer, and the love of Christ.

Arit Edwin-Enyenihi
Jesus For Every Soul Ministries
During ministry school, I had the privilege of helping in the early stages of getting Jesus For Every Soul Ministries started as part of a class project. During that time, I met Miss Arit, whose passion for Jesus and commitment to reaching lost souls in our community deeply inspired me. I have often referred to her as a missionary to the United States, as her ministry faithfully takes the gospel to the streets of our towns. Follow the links below to learn more about her mission and discover ways you can support her ministry.

Tim & Lisa Mahan
Spirit Life Ministries
Tim and Lisa Mahan are the co-founders of Spirit Life Ministries and have been ministering together since 2009. They graduated from Ministry School in 2014, where Spirit Life Ministries was born. Although I did not attend Charis Bible College at the same time as Tim and Lisa, their ministry is one I believe is deeply needed in the times we are living in today. While many churches faithfully support missionaries overseas — and they should — there is a growing need for strong local outreach. Every church should carry a vision for reaching its own community, remembering that the Gospel is meant for both the nations and the neighbor next door. Spirit Life Ministries helps meet that need. Each month, they gather believers to go into the streets, share the Gospel, and equip churches through evangelism workshops, prayer ministry coordination, Bible studies, and hands-on ministry training. I encourage you to explore their ministry below and consider partnering with or supporting the work they are doing.

Restoration Ministries
Ministries walking with people through healing, recovery, and freedom after deep pain or trauma.

Maria Guerra Carpenter
Grace Place Restoration Center
I met Maria in ministry school, where I watched her and our classmates establish Grace Place Restoration Center as part of a school project. Through this, I came to understand her deep compassion for women who have had or are considering abortion, as these experiences often leave lasting wounds for both women and men. Grace Place offers a path to healing from life’s difficult choices. Follow the links below to learn more about her ministry and discover ways to support her mission.

Seth Bueno
Rise Up Ministries
I met Seth in ministry school, where I saw firsthand his heart to create a safe place that brings healing, restoration, and hope to those who have been abused and victimized through human trafficking. As part of a school project, Seth—along with help from several classmates—laid the foundation for this ministry, and since graduating, he has continued to build and establish this work beyond the classroom. If you feel led to help in this area, follow the links below to learn more about his ministry and discover ways to support the calling God has placed on his life.

Equipping Ministries
Ministries focused on training and equipping believers to walk in their calling and gifts

Criss and Brad Roberts
Criss Roberts’ Ministry
I met Criss in ministry school while we were practicing street evangelism, and it was there that I began to see her heart for sharing the love God has for every person. During her time in school, she built a strong foundation in the Word that later led her to found and establish Criss Roberts’ Ministry. Through her ministry, she dives deep into Scripture to bring clarity, truth, and healing to those who are seeking. A central part of her work is Healing School, where she partners with churches by presenting Healing School services, training prayer ministers, and helping congregations establish and grow their own healing ministry.

Missionaries
Missionaries called to reach cultures, regions, and people with the message of Christ.

Torben & Phoenix Brandt
Berets of Light
I met Torben and Phoenix at Bible College, where I pursued the Ministry Track, and they were in the Global Training Track. It was during this time they fell in love and later got married. Currently, they’re in Kenya with GoToNations as missionaries in training, developing the skills they need to embark on their mission work independently as a ministry to raise & empower men.

Joel & Jennifer Biyinzika
Global Seeds Of Hope
I’ve known Jennifer since she was a little girl, and I’ve known Joel for a few years now. Joel has always carried a deep passion for the children in his hometown in Uganda, and together, he and Jennifer are now in Uganda, building the first five classrooms of a new school. The community’s excitement and interest have been so overwhelming that it’s clear five classrooms won’t be enough to meet the growing needs. Yet, step by step, they are working tirelessly to provide for this community. Follow the link below to learn more about this ministry and discover ways you can help support this mission.

Churches
Churches serving their communities while building Christ-centered fellowship.

Pastor Sheryl and Dana Samm
Charis Bible Church
I met Dana and Sheryl during my first year in Bible college. From the beginning, we became friends, and that friendship continued to grow through all three years we were in school together. During that time, I came to know the deep passion they both have for the Lord. After graduation, I admired their determination to step out and plant a church in Colorado Springs. Pastor Sheryl’s heart to teach the balance of grace and faith is evident in the messages she shares—messages that are enlightening, inspiring, and draw us closer to God. Their lives and ministry reflect a genuine love for God and for the people they serve.

Scott Silverberg
L.I.F.E. Church
I met Scott in ministry school, where I learned of his heart to serve the Lord and others. After graduation, Scott sensed the Lord leading him to return to Southampton, New York, to plant L.I.F.E. Church. Even before attending school, he had faithfully taught Bible studies in his home for more than 40 years, served in children’s and youth ministry, and played drums on the worship team. He also founded and directed RaphaEl Medical Missions, traveling to Zambia, Africa, and Guyana, South America from 2007 to 2020, and has ministered on five continents with Bridge for Peace based in Wading River, New York. His life reflects a long-standing commitment to faithful service, obedience to God’s leading, and a heart for both local and global ministry.
