International Mission Fields

Reaching the unreached, planting churches, demonstrating Christ’s love since 1978

Mission Statement: “To make disciples of all nations through evangelism, church planting, indigenous leadership development, and holistic compassionate ministry.”

Our Missions Heritage

Since Dr. Duane F. Steeves founded Liberty World Ministries in 1978, missions has been at the heart of everything we do. For over 46 years, we have sent workers, planted churches, supported orphans, and trained indigenous leaders across multiple continents.

Dr. Steeves believed that missions should be holistic — addressing spiritual needs through gospel preaching while also meeting physical needs through acts of compassion. This vision continues today through our dedicated network of missionaries, national partners, and supporting churches.

“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” — Matthew 9:37–38
