Our Core Values

He Builds…We Strengthen…His Church

The following Core Values and Distinctives set Empower Ministries International(R) apart as being unique in the world of Christian missions. God has breathed life into this ministry and has commissioned us to strengthen and equip national church planting ministries.

  • Approachable by national church planting movements seeking assistance
 

Financial Standards of Conduct

We practice:
  • Dependence upon the Holy Spirit to bring in needed funding for projects and administrative costs

that utilize pressure to elicit funds from perspective donors
