OUR TEAM:

Our team seeks to serve the missionaries and the donors in all the various needs associated with glorifying the Lord in this work. Employees at HeartCry must have a servant's heart, a passion for the lost, a burden for world missions, and a strong work ethic to glorify the Lord.

-There are only two human heroes in the HeartCry story: the missionaries who go down into the abyss to rescue the perishing, and the donors who hold the rope for them. HeartCry is merely the rope. We are stewards serving two heroes and their God.

HEARTCRY: The goal of our ministry is to glorify God and bring the greatest possible good to humankind through the preaching of the gospel and the establishment of biblical churches throughout the world by means of equipping and mobilizing indigenous churches and missionaries.
