Building & Repairing Churches
Serving pastors and churches across America by recruiting and coordinating volunteers for construction and evangelism projects.
Read their story +
Marcus and Jeanea serve as missionaries in the U.S. through Mission America Placement Service (MAPS), which coordinates workers to assist churches and ministry institutions with construction and evangelism projects. Many of their volunteers travel and live in RVs while constructing or remodeling churches in their region.
“We do that through RV Volunteers, Church Teams, and Missionary Associates. One of the great aspects of MAPS is that it serves the other ministries of U.S. Missions as well as local churches and in turn the rest of the world. I believe if we strengthen the church in America, we strengthen our reach to the world.” — Marcus
How to pray
• Continued favor as they schedule services, mobilize volunteers, and complete projects in Georgia and beyond.
• Safety and provision for all volunteers and leaders involved with Church Mobilization.
• Lives to be changed because of this collective effort.
• Additional donors to strengthen their ministry budget.
• All those affected by Hurricane Helene — much of Georgia was devastated.

Rescuing & Raising Children
A Godly home for children rescued off the streets, out of abusive homes, and from being sold into prostitution.
Read their story +
Becky is a dear friend and woman of God. Through the years, Relate Church has supported this orphanage every month, and we also purchased a riding lawn mower for them. Pastor John has been there on a couple of occasions to see the amazing work Becky and her team are doing.
So many children have been rescued off the streets, out of abusive homes, and protected from being sold into prostitution — and all of them grow up in a Godly home. God bless them, and may He bless us to do more for His Kingdom!
Ways to support
• Pray for Becky, her team, and the children.
• Give — 100% of funds designated to missions at Relate Church are used for missions projects.

Pastor Mihai Dumitrascu
A thriving church that has housed and fed thousands of Ukrainian refugees — many of whom found Christ.
Read their story +
Emanuel Christian Church is a thriving body of Christ in Romania. Pastor Mihai and the congregation are passionately reaching people for Christ. This house of worship is an absolute oasis in a desert.
In the past few years they have housed and fed thousands of refugees from Ukraine as they fled for their lives, and many of those refugees found Christ! Relate Church has been a faithful supporter of this ministry for many years. What a blessing it is to have had a part in providing a place for thousands of people to be protected and saved in such a time of crisis.
Moldova · Europe
Training Pastors · Reaching Nations
Training new pastors for the former Soviet states and reaching Muslim populations across Europe.
Read their story +
Victor Pavlovski is the Bishop of the Pentecostal Union in Moldova. Pastor John has personally been there and seen the work being done. Victor and his team are heavily involved in training new pastors to go out into the former Soviet states. God has given him great favor with the heads of state, and the churches he oversees are significantly involved in evangelism nationwide.
Dale Van Steenis is the president of Leadership Strategies. He is a huge presence in many countries all over Europe and has been reaching Muslim populations for decades. Through partnerships with ministries like Dale’s, thousands have been reached for Christ. Leadership Strategies provides humanitarian relief through local churches — clothes, food, wheelchairs, and more — giving those churches influence in their communities while meeting real needs.
Tamara Bucur is one of their greatest assets in the Kingdom — a church planter and soul-winning powerhouse. Relate Church faithfully supports these ministries every month as they make a huge impact in the former Soviet Union.
