Global Missions

Globally, we support these ministries:


  • REALIS

    Sergiy and Irina Tymchenko founded REALIS in Ukraine. The organization first started as part of the underground church. As needs change, so does the service of Realis. Currently they minister with a team that provides trauma counseling, theological training and aid to internally displaced refugees.

  • Frontera de Cristo

    Mark Adams and Miriam Maldonado Escobar serve migrants and help others learn about the challenges of migration at the US Mexico border in Arizona. They provide jobs, resources, and community to many as a means of sharing their hope in Christ. They are missionaries with the Presbyterian PCUSA. Small groups are encouraged to visit and learn about the challenges that migrants face when seeking a safe place to live.

The home cares for 104 children & young adults; the school’s population is about 553 children. In addition, ByGrace offers community-based care in various Kenyan locations in partnership with local churches.
