Background/History

Wheresoever Ministries is a Christian faith-based organization that began in 2000, being called to various places and countries around the world. We refer to these as “GO Journeys”. The leaders have led many mission trips and have been invited to preach and teach at conferences, churches, seminars, on the streets and in the bush. Much ministry has resulted from these journeys, both during the journey and in many cases as ongoing ministry after the journey. God has shown His glory in so many ways. To get a feel for the varied ministry and places, see What We Do on this website. At this time, a majority of the ministry effort is going into Mozambique, a project that started in 2004 and has resulted in many thousands of new Christians and hundreds of new churches, and with the help of the Holy Spirit will result in many more, see the Mozambique page. The teams have prayed, preached, and taught all over the world, and enjoy sharing from their mission journey experiences, as well as give workshops on prayer, movement in worship, and other topics. This ministry is available by reservation for workshops and lectures in missions, seeking greater intimacy with the Lord, Christian movement and drama worship as well as their mission journey experiences. All funds from these events are used towards Wheresoever Ministries.

Mission Bases

The international headquarters is based in Raleigh, NC, where there is a team of two full-time staff and a number of part-time volunteers. We also have a mission base in Vila Ulongue, Tete Province, Mozambique which directs all the ministry activities in Mozambique, Malawi and ther rest of Southern Africa. The African base is manned by a full-time team of up to 10 members, currently all either Mozambique citizens or Malawi missionaries to Mozambique (see the Mozambique page for more information).

Wheresoever Ministries is not associated with any denomination and is funded entirely by donations and grants. The ministry accepts donations world-wide via credit card, PayPal, cash and non-cash, and accepts check donations in the US and UK (see the Get Involved page).

In the USA, Wheresoever is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are tax deductible. When the ministry started, it was operated under the umbrella of Hope Chapel, a Foursquare church which was and still is the home church of the founders. In July 2010, the ministry was registered as a nonprofit organization in the USA and was no longer officially linked to Hope Chapel. The ministry is registered in Mozambique under the name “Ide a Todo o Mundo” (Portuguese for “Go Into All the World”). It is also registered in Malawi under its name in English (“Wheresoever Ministries”).
