Serve The World

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” — Luke 10:2

Going into all the world…

Johnson Street Church of Christ has always been a mission minded congregation. Through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we have been fortunate to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus alongside many wonderful people, and help support ministries locally, regionally, and globally. Here are a few of the ministry opportunities that we have the privilge of helping to support.

Central America

The Biblical Institue of Central America (BICA) serves the regions of Guatemala & Honduras. It supports and trains local people to minister to other local people, who in turn are trained to minster to others, who in turn… This “multiplying” ministry has started 12 churches and baptized over 2000 people. The concept comes from 2 Timothy 2:2 where Paul instructs Timothy to teach others what he had learned from Paul.

Brazil

Antenor and Phyllis Goncalvez started a new church 50 miles south of Sao Paulo in a town called Itu, Brazil in 1996. The church as grown by leaps and bounds! It has over 300 members and has already planted 3 new congregations in just ten years. They support an orphanage, a halfway house, and a T.V. ministry.

Kenya

We are privileged and honored to partner with Jennifer Ashlock in Kitale, Kenya. Jennifer grew up at Johnson Street and was a very active member of the JSCC Youth group and Christian Campus Center going on several Mission trips to Mexico. She felt the Lord calling her to the mission field in Africa and started working there in Uganda. After some time serving in Uganda, she was connected with the Kenya Church of Christ Children’s Home, KCCCH, in Kitale, Kenya. Jennifer wears many hats at KCCCH including leading a Bible study for the staff and every grade level of student at the home. She is in charge of spiritual formation of the students including service projects that she coordinates to show the students the love of God through service to others. She helps with the administration of the Children’s Home by dealing with staffing issues, student issues, and serving on the board of the Children’s Home.

India

Isaac Palaparthi is an evangelist and the International Sanctuary Ministries director of operations in India. Isaac and his wife, Mary, are sharing the Gospel throughout India - with tribal peoples in the hills, to a leper colony and local widows, with people of Hindu faith, and others. They care for orphans and children from unfortunate circumstances at the Sanctuary Home for Children–providing them with safety, love, mentorship, a healthy life, and showing God’s love by teaching the children of His grace and salvation. They just opened a government-accredited Christ-centered school on campus in 2024. They help to provide clean water to villages, and are feeding and educating children in a slum area they renamed “Hope Village.”
