Our mission
At Raise the Nations, we exist to equip and raise fearless sons and daughters of God who bring transformation to their communities. Through biblical teaching and personal coaching, they learn to carry His presence to the nations.
We are passionate about seeing believers grow to their maximum potential. In addition, we long to see them experience the supernatural power of God. Through these encounters, they take bold risks of faith and walk confidently in their divine calling.
Core values
Built on biblical principles, these values shape who we are as a Christian discipleship and missions ministry, living by God’s Word and power.
- Intentional Living: We choose to be hearers & doers of the Word.
- Spirit-Let Life: We follow the Holy Spirit & live in His power.
- Ingrity: We pursue closeness with God & work in honesty & purity.
- Love and Generosity: We believe in people and give freely, just as we have received.
- Community and Teamwork: We embrace relationships, value collaboration, & honor one another in love.
“For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.” – I Corinthians 4:20 (NLT)
