The world

Who We Are:

International Messengers is an evangelical, interdenominational missions organization comprised of an international staff team. We are committed to making disciples of all nations through partnering with local churches to renew, train and mobilize believers for active involvement in reaching the world for Christ. We believe in obeying Matthew 28:18-20. Approximately 50% of our staff do church-planting/discipleship and 50% do compassion ministries. Every summer we send volunteer teams and church teams overseas to partner with our staff in putting on English Language Camps and other camps in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

 

Quotes from Short-Termers

"The main benefit was in the area of building relationships as opposed to being on a short-term mission and engaged in construction. I learned how to give a good testimony. You guys have great training material for anyone going on a first time trip." Jim – Ukraine 

“I have learned to trust God with all the little things and big things. I have found Him completely trustworthy. I feel so safe with Him. I always want to do things God's way, because I know that that is where the real joy of life is.” — Kathryn – Romania

“It was a great opportunity to put self aside for a period and learn to 'decrease, that Christ might increase.'" — Robert – Poland 

“Family English Camp has renewed my hope for the people in my life who have not yet put their trust in Jesus. The camp continues year after year to invest in non-believers and to share the Good News with love--some say yes to Jesus the first year, some the 8th year, and some never do. I never know who in my life will put their trust in Jesus the next time they hear the Gospel. Just like at camp, I only need to continue inviting, continue sharing, and continue loving. I also benefited from the experience of team unity. That is the kind of unity I want to see on any team or in any church I am a part of!” Sara – Poland 2016

"Every time we go out on a missions trip we come back even more excited than the previous trip. Winning souls for the Lord is more and more exciting. We would love to go again soon." Mel & Jessie – Slovakia

"I have grown closer to God. I see God's hand in so many situations and in so many people's lives. I have since become more aware of His presence back home. I am also awed by His power, love, protection, and to what ends He will go to ensure not one of His children are 'lost'. Praising Him, not just thanking Him, but praising Him has now become part of my relationship with Jesus." Deb – Poland

“My relationship with Christ always grows because I have to be more dependent on Him as I am out of my comfort zone. He never ceases to amaze me; how each missions trip is unique and different from previous ones. And my life is always enriched with many new friendships.” — Mary, Poland

“This trip has reinforced in my heart that you can never go wrong showing someone that you care. You can never go wrong sharing a bit of Christ with someone everyday.” Todd – Romania

Gypsy Ghetto

Gypsy Ghetto

 

Several grey, concrete apartments stand clustered on the outskirts of Kosice, Slovakia, forming a community of their own. Unlike other apartment blocks in the city, however, this complex, known as Lunik IX, has no grass underfoot and no swings or slides for the children. Instead, an abandoned Fiat draws kids and teens like a magnet. The car’s doors are ripped off, its windows are smashed, and a teenage boy hammers on the dashboard while his buddies watch and cheer. Garbage lies in heaps around the place, and many of the buildings’ windows are shattered.

Lunik IX is the largest gypsy ghetto in Eastern and Central Europe. Approximately 6,500 people live here. Sometimes three or four families share a two-bedroom apartment. Electricity is available only in the mornings and evenings, and heat and hot water are usually non-existent, but there’s no shortage of alcoholism, gambling, usury, abuse, and incest. The unemployment rate is 98 per cent. Poverty and hopelessness pervade. In the midst of the darkness, however, the Light of Christ shines – thanks partly to the ministry of International Messengers missionaries Karla and Brad Thiessen from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
