Bob works with translation teams and consultants. As the Director of the Jerusalem Center for Bible Translation (JCBT) he oversees the Center, where Bible translators from many cultures and countries come to study and learn.

Both Bob and Amy are using their expertise so that the least-reached peoples will have God’s Word in their own languages. LifeSpring and the Carters have been partners since the mid 1980s.

They are affiliated with Wycliffe Bible Translators, Seed Company, and Jerusalem Center for Bible Translators.

With a passion and calling to reach people with the Gospel of Christ, Daniel and Noelia Irwin serve with Team Expansion in Granada, Spain. LifeSpring began supporting the Irwins in late 2020. While Daniel spent a portion of his growing-up years in Spain, Noelia is a native. Reaching the people of Spain for Jesus and engaging in disciple-making are natural ministry objectives because of the Irwins’ background.

Daniel & Noelia utilize social media posts to catch the attention of Spaniards who are (consciously or unconsciously) wrestling with spiritual questions. People who show interest are connected with Believers who can meet with them in-person. The posts are targeted towards cities across Spain where Christians are available to engage these seekers in Discovery Bible Studies, which with the leading of God’s Spirit can take them into disciple-making groups and eventually church plants.

In addition to social posts, the Granada team engages in regular prayer walks through the villages in the region and strive to meet and pray for people who are open to exploring their questions of faith through continued discussion, with the intent to come to know Jesus Christ.

The Weber Family was called to serve in New Zealand beginning in 2023. New Zealand is a post Christian culture with a very small community of Bible-believing Christians and mature Christian leaders are needed to train and mentor Christ’s disciples. Their past experience in the mission field, training, counseling and church planting equips them well to do effective Kingdom work in the Auckland, NZ area.

Bill and Verna are missionaries sent by New International and are focused on mentoring and discipleship training (Bill & Verna Weber – New International). Donovan is on staff at Shore Community Christian Church. Jocelyn is a Lecturer of Counselling at Laidlaw College, the largest theological college in New Zealand.

LifeSpring supports the Weber family through prayer and encouragement. They’re very open to hosting visitors from LifeSpring!

IFI Cincy is a community organization that works in partnership with universities and Christian volunteers to promote friendship and hospitality for international students, scholars, and their families. They seek to help international students and scholars meet practical needs and develop relationships around social, cultural, and spiritual interests. IFI Cincy partners with local churches and other non-profit organizations to provide custom opportunities for local groups to engage in international student ministry.

LifeSpring has had members involved with IFI Cincy since its establishment in 2004. They work with international students studying at the University of Cincinnati in a variety of ways, including being Conversation Partners, hosting dinners and leading Bible studies. With Lifespring’s support, IFI Cincy desires to see God’s love extended globally in partnership with spiritually vibrant international students.

Lakeview Life Centre (previously Lakeview Bible College & Seminary) provides men and women with a life-transforming education that equips them to effectively impact their communities for Christ. In addition to acquiring a deep spiritual foundation based on Biblical truth and committed discipleship, Lakeview’s residential students obtain direct hands-on experience ministering to local and cross-cultural communities through weekend ministries and summer internships. Their time at Lakeview prepares them well to share Christ’s love and offer of salvation in their workplace and local communities.

Lakeview also offers dual-degree programs in partnership with the University of Madras, online certificate and diploma programs, and training seminars and conferences for Christians working in the marketplace.

MOHI was founded in 2000 by Wallace & Mary Kamau to bring the hope of Christ to 3 million people living in extreme poverty. They use a holistic strategy to educate, empower, restore, and redeem. Their goal is to establish 100 schools, plant 100 churches and educate 100,000 students.

LifeSpring partners with two communities through MOHI: Kosovo in the Mathare Valley slum of Nairobi, Kenya and Molo Milimani which is a farming community in the Great Rift Valley region. LifeSpring families are currently sponsoring over 200 MOHI children at MOHI schools throughout Kenya.

In 1994 LifeSpring sent a missionary family to forge a partnership with two Ukrainian churches after the collapse of communism. Because of rapid church growth, TCI was launched in 1997 to train pastors, church planters, and church leaders in Eastern Europe. TCI now also has extensions in schools in Central Asia.

Through the years, many LifeSpring members have traveled to Kherson and TCI, and our church remains a critical partner. Since 2022 TCI’s efforts have included humanitarian relief for those displaced by war.
