The AMEN Team

    

AMEN is a conduit for channelling resources to many overseas Christians working to make a difference in their own countries. An Indian couple making films with a Christian message reaching 6 million Indian children each week; Nigerians helping churches provide AIDs support in Nigeria; a Filipino Pastor working with High School kids in a very tough area of Manila. These and many other AMEN partners across the world are serving God and seeing amazing things happen. 

   

We would really appreciate  your help in spreading the Gospel through the nations.
