Missions at Northridge

At Northridge, we believe we are to take the Gospel to our local community as well as partner with missionaries to take it to the ends of the earth. When you give at Northridge, we also give to these local and international organizations.

Northridge has some mission partners in sensitive locations. Please see our missions wall in-person to learn more about them!

UPCOMING TRIPS

Global Missions

Pioneer Bible Translators work to ensure the Bible is available in every language across the world. Our missionary assists the translators by ensuring that nothing has been added, removed, or misunderstood from the original text. After this thorough review, the translators can then make the scripture accessible to their communities.

Africa Hope (Kenya)

Tim and Lorna are both the founders and directors of Africa Hope ministries in Kenya and have been serving alongside a dynamic team for the last 20 years in church planting and maturation, community transformation through food and water security interventions, education development, water sanitation and hygiene programs, family partnerships and economic empowerment.
FAME (Everywhere)

FAME’s purpose is to send help and hope in the name of Christ to the world’s most vulnerable through medical evangelism. This happens through emergency response to disasters and specific needs, building hospitals and clinics, shipping medical supplies, and sending medical teams to meet the physical needs of people in hard-to-reach places, so they know that Jesus and his followers care about their body, mind, and soul.
Frontiers (Middle East)

Frontiers is working to fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples among Muslim people who don’t know the saving message of Jesus Christ. They work to recruit, train, and send teams of workers to live in Muslim communities and bring Christ’s message to those who have yet to hear it. Our missionaries are currently serving and ministering to Syrian refugees in the Middle East.
Kerela Christian Mission (India)

KCM is primarily a church-planting mission in Kerela, India that is striving to plant at least one church a year and be self-sufficient within 10. They also have a leadership training program for future pastors, a hospital that partners with FAME in helping the physical needs of those in their area, a home for orphaned girls, and a senior home for aging adults with no resources to care for themselves.
Kevin and Cynthia Weldon (Nepal)

The Weldons have been serving the people of Nepal since 2013 and were called to build a children’s home there. In addition, they work with at-risk street children and with rural communities to assist in disaster relief. They have recently started focusing on training locals in theological training and ministry. They support various medical relief trips and church-building projects wherever they see the need.
KORE (Haiti)

KORE’s goal is to go “Beyond Relief” by focusing on treating the underlying cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. Through their two churches, they not only disciple families, but they work with families to improve their agriculture practices for better production so they can feed their families and produce a surplus to generate income. They also supply animal protein to malnourished children and help farmers develop their own businesses.
Luke101 (Haiti)

Thanks to strong local leadership, Luke101 continues to provide hope in the most extreme poverty found right off our shores. They exist to pray, teach, evangelize and love in the name of Jesus Christ and they accomplish this through church activities, youth and kids’ programs, athletics, education assistance, medical and dental care, biblical studies and leadership training for local ministers.
Mark and Andrea Michaels (Scotland)

With a mission to help people find their unique place in God’s story, Mark and Andrea live in Edinburgh, Scotland, serving as Regional Directors for a growing team in the United Kingdom and Ireland. They oversee these, primarily first-term, missionaries, providing coaching, oversight and care to help them thrive in their new country. With their ever-expanding network of local leaders and ministries, they love to help make connections between people with a heart for missions and the needs across the UK and Ireland.
MOHI (Kenya)

MOHI empowers disadvantaged communities in Africa through education, healthcare, economic development, and evangelism, breaking the cycle of poverty and sharing the hope of Jesus. Our strategy is holistic: The whole gospel for the whole person. Our integrated programs address brokenness in every area of life to bring hope in Christ. Every MOHI program seeks to educate children, empower families, restore health, and redeem lives.
Pioneer Bible Translators (Everywhere)
Ryan Sudsberry (Dominican Republic)

As the Executive Director of Church Planting with Go Ministries, Ryan oversees the church planting efforts in Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and now in Venezuela, Argentina, Costa Rica and Mexico. With over 154 churches planted, he is excited about how this multiplication effort will continue to transform communities in those countries.
Travis and Emily Weeks (Ethiopia)

The Weeks have served with CMFI’s church planting team in Ethiopia since 2013. Travis runs a training center for pastors who lead churches throughout western Ethiopia. There, pastors receive instruction on Old and New Testament scripture, church history, theology, and practical ministry skills as they pray, worship and engage in spiritual formation practices together. Travis also oversees the team’s church planting work among the Oromo people and works closely with church planters to bring the Gospel of Jesus to unreached parts of southwest Ethiopia.
