Please note: This message is not a mass email. This is the only email that will be sent to the full readers list. From here on out, it is sent exclusively to our faithful donors and ministry partners who have chosen to stand with IOM America. We deeply value your commitment and want to communicate personally and directly with those who make this work possible.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to unite those whose hearts beat for the advancement of Christ’s indwelling Life & Kingdom.

When our donors stand together, their individual gifts become a collective force—fueling a ministry that reaches farther, loves deeper, and shines brighter than any one of us could alone.

A STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD: Read the donor story, told by Dr. Stephen Phinney, of how every challenge pressed against the limits of our strength—yet through it all, Yeshua reminded us that His power is perfected in weakness, and His sustaining provision arrives through faithful members of His Body. ​READ THE FULL STORY​

YOU | OUR CHRIST-AS-LIFE PARTNERS

Recently, the Lord would not let me fall asleep until I got up to hear what He had to say. We were in the middle of one of the most challenging times we have faced in 26 years of ministry. Through multiple medical crises, the flooding of our basement, the sudden failure of our office AC unit, painful family challenges, and our financial resources reaching an all‑time low, we found ourselves pleading with God for a miracle. It was as if every area of life—physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual—was being tested at once. Yet amid exhaustion and uncertainty, our cries became prayers of surrender, trusting that the same God who called this ministry into being would sustain it through the storm.

As I poured out my heart before the Lord, He gently rebuked me for not staying in closer connection with our faithful donors. The truth is, I have always despised asking people for money. Yet for 26 years, IOM America has operated solely through donations. While I reached out occasionally, I neglected to bring our donors together in one place—to hear how the Lord has used their faithfulness to sustain the work He entrusted to us, and to care for them because they are part of our family. In that moment of conviction, the Lord made it unmistakably clear: it is time to establish the Covenant Partners Circle.

This will serve not only as a dedicated email communication exclusively for our donors, but also as a portal to free resources, special events, private donor space, and trusted donor‑only benefits—allowing each partner to experience the very impact they are helping to sustain.

Finally, we will occasionally highlight the businesses and ministries represented by our donors—providing links that help readers become familiar with the organizations that support us and contribute to long‑term donor stability.
