Our Global Partners

Cristian and Cintia Mikkan – The Mikkans serve in Mendoza, Argentina, leading a rapidly growing church called Comunidad Cristiana de la Ciudad (Community Christian of the City, or simply C3). Several years ago, they launched a ministry called Dream Center, which focuses on providing specific help, hope, and new opportunities for people in need. They also have a mobile version of the Dream Center that they can take to places of extreme poverty in Argentina. Additionally, they engage in ongoing missional activity within their city through an initiative called Yo Amo Mi Ciudad (I Love My City), of which Seven Marks participates yearly in the month of October.

Chad and Jami Bader – The Bader family serves in the impoverished rural communities of Guatemala. They are co-founders of a ministry called Transformando Vidas (Transforming Lives). Their mission is to provide leadership, guidance, and resources to see communities redeemed spiritually, socially, and economically for the glory of God. Currently they are heavily involved in the communities of San Jose Guachipilin, Escuintla and Santa Rosa, watching them transform by the power of the Gospel.

Helbert and Barbara Castellanos – The Castellanos, who are native Guatemalans, are the co-founders of Transformando Vidas and partner with the Baders in meeting both the physical and spiritual needs of the poor in remote rural communities in Guatemala. Their knowledge of the land and the people has proven invaluable as they reach these communities.

Marilyn Reeck – The Reecks worked as missionaries for Wycliffe Bible Translators for many years translating and supervising the translation of the Bible into several languages around the world. Though Roger has gone home to be with the Lord, Marilyn continues working tirelessly to bring the gospel to those who are hurting in Honduras. Marylyn works with Wycliffe’s partner organization, the Trauma Healing Institute, to help those with physical and mental trauma before presenting them in the gospel.

Alison Howard – Alison Howard serves with Garifuna MIssionary Association (AMIGA) in La Ceiba, Honduras to make disciples that make other disciples. AMIGA specifically supports indigenous Garifuna churches throughout Honduras and Belize through leadership development, theological training and church planting.

Stephen and Erica Switzer – The Switzers work with Embraced International — a nonprofit based in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Embraced believes that kids deserve to grow up with their families and that families deserve support. When kids are separated from their families due to poverty or difficult circumstances, Embraced works to remove all obstacles and make it possible for kids to be reunited with their families.

Nelson Ntanda – Nelson, who is a native Ugandan, has been pastoring and reaching the lost for Christ in Uganda for 30+ years. A few years ago he and a pastor friend launched Mercy and Grace Ministries, an NGO that serves some of the poorest communities in Uganda. Together they are meeting the physical needs of poor communities, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, supporting the education of impoverished children, and helping to plant healthy local churches.

Jonathan and Amelia Salas – Jonathan and Amelia Salas are missionary pilots dedicated to sharing the hope of Christ with people living in remote and unreached regions of the world. Through aviation and discipleship, they seek to bridge the gap between isolated communities and the transforming message of the gospel. Their ministry enables church planters, medical teams, and disciple-makers to reach communities that might otherwise remain untouched by the message of Jesus Christ.

The Neals – Adam and Kaitlin Neal started The Refuge Retreat in 2018. Their mission is to unify a generation of college students to be disciple-making followers of Jesus. They believe in college students and their capability to make a difference in this world. They strive to accomplish their mission through weekend retreats, weekly Zoom Bible studies, and meet-ups.

Dr. David Nelms – Dr. Nelms is the founder and president of The Timothy Initiative (TTI). This organization has planted thousands of churches through training and multiplying disciples around the world. David believes that TTI’s strategy to make disciples who make disciples is a simple method for spreading the Gospel to the ends of the Earth that echoes the book of Acts. He believes that as the body of Christ works together, we can finish the task Jesus gave us 2,000 years ago—to make disciples of every nation and people group.
