Ananias House

Ananias House strengthens the Church across the Middle East and North Africa by equipping local believers through training, discipleship, Bibles, and practical aid. Their mission is to see resilient leaders and communities of faith grow—even in places marked by persecution and hardship.

Their Mission

  • Bridging Prayer, Training & Resources
    Ananias House connects believers in the West with growing Christian communities in MENA through prayer, Bible training, and both physical and spiritual resources—all aimed at building up God’s global family amidst increasing hostility.
  • Empowering Leaders
    The ministry focuses on delivering pastoral and women’s leadership training, tailored for local pastors and female leaders who often face significant hardship. This includes theological education, discipleship, trauma-healing, and economic equipping.
  • Providing Practical Relief & Educational Support
    They respond to urgent needs—offering food, medical aid, clothing, safe meeting spaces, and helping both brick-and-mortar and tent schools continue biblical education.
  • Making the Gospel Accessible
    A standout achievement is obtaining a legal permit to print and distribute Bibles and Christian literature locally, making Scripture accessible even under challenging conditions.

Gospel Express Ministries

Gospel Express Ministries, a non-profit ministry, was founded in 1984 by husband and wife duo Nelson and Sarah Coblentz. What started out as a desire to spread the gospel through a singing and prison ministry soon grew to incorporate multiple international ministries in Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya and India. Since the project began in 2021, around 40 houses have been built. 

Their Mission

We believe these three Biblical mandates from God’s inspired Word form the core of our mission:

  1. Evangelism: “And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’ ”  Mark 16:15
  2. Discipleship: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”  Matthew 28:19-20a
  3. Compassion: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.”  Matthew 25:35-36
