Since 2004, God has used 16:15 to mobilize churches nationwide to bring the Gospel to the ends of theearth. While much has changed in 20 years, our purpose remains: 16:15 mobilizes the Church to glorifyGod, that all nations may worship Jesus for his mercy. We are passionate about empowering the local church – the bride of Christ – as the primary way tofulfill the Great Commission. By equipping, pastors, lay leaders, missions mobilizers, churches andagencies, we ensure they have the tools to advance God's kingdom, bringing the message of Jesus toevery nation, tribe and tongue. church missions coachingmissions agency coachinggreat commission resources God has used 16:15, along with partners like you, to reach countless unreached people with the Gospel!

,At the end of Acts 14, we read that the church in Antioch gathered together. Paul and Barnabas had returnedhome from their first missionary journey to encourage the church that had sent them out and to declare allthat God had done. I imagine that they were bursting at the seams to recount how God was using them tobring salvation to the nations! These stories would not have been possible without the support of the churchin Antioch.As we look to the next 20 years, we’re going back to our roots. Our vision has always focused on outfittingchurches with the resources and expertise they need to do cross-cultural ministry strategically andintentionally. By God’s grace, our fruit has produced a movement of mobilized churches and agencies forGospel multiplication. We are asking God for partners like you, like the Antioch church, who want toparticipate on the front row of God’s redemptive plan for the nations! Would you invest in reachingeven more unreached peoples by partnering with 16:15 today?By the grace of God, we’re only getting started...Matthew EllisonA NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT“And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done withthem, and how He had opened a door of faith to the nations.” Acts 14:27
