IOM America Update

This year we celebrate twenty-one years of IOM America.

This year we celebrate twenty-one years of IOM America. For those of you who are new to our ministry, IOM stands for Institute of Ministry. We began our humble beginnings in Phoenix, AZ.

Our mission? Provide a quality Christ-as-Life discipleship ministry for the Body of Christ. We began with 15 online followers. Today, we reach over a million inboxes annually. God has blessed our outreach.

The year 2022 has continued to challenge us. Continued separation, isolation, anxiety, and uncertainty have most certainly contributed to our network members' insecurities. During the global unrest, our ministry continued to grow in outreach. With this growth, the cost of maintaining our online presence has also increased. However, due to our network members' financial challenges, our donations no longer sustain our ministry expenses. 

We continue to meet fear and uncertainty with the strength and courage of the Lord. The more uncertainty we face, the wider net we cast to impact more people within our outreach. In doing so, we diligently work to find new ways to connect, share the Life of Christ, support our people, and maintain expansion and growth. While we have many days of temptations to “feel” defeated, we remember the mission and God's promise to sustain it. 

On one of those trying days, we received a note from a lady in the mail. She found one of our brochures in a laundromat. Her precious note was filled with encouragement and spurred us to remain faithful to doing what we do. As always, we do so with the Grace, Love, and Compassion of Jesus.

Please view our donor page, see all that the Lord has accomplished through our donors despite these challenges, and join us in celebrating our years of service unto Jesus. He was busy this past year!

We thank our donors, ministry partners, prayer supporters, and network members for navigating a difficult year with us. Bless you for continuing on this life journey with us.
