Empower Pastors, Transform Communities: Join Our Global Mission

A Call to Faith in Action

At the IMF, we believe that faith can move mountains and transform lives. For over 67 years, we’ve been dedicated to serving and equipping pastors with the training, credentials, and resources they need to spread hope, love, and the message of faith in their communities. Now, we’re ready to take this mission global—and we need your help to make it happen.  Around the world, countless communities lack access to trained spiritual leaders. Pastors in remote and underserved regions often serve without formal education, credentials, or support, limiting their ability to nurture vibrant, faith-filled communities. By expanding our reach, we can empower these leaders to share the gospel, provide guidance, and foster hope in places where it’s needed most.  

Our Vision: A World United in Faith

Our Vision: A World United in Faith

Our global mission is to serve 100,000 pastors by: 

 • Credential Pastors: Provide accredited theological training and official certifications to ensure pastors are equipped to lead with confidence and authority.  

• Support Local Ministries: Supply resources like Bibles, teaching materials, and technology to help pastors connect with their communities.  

• Build Global Networks: Create regional hubs to foster collaboration, mentorship, and ongoing support for pastors worldwide. 

 • Reach Underserved Regions: Extend our service to areas where access to spiritual leadership is scarce, from rural villages to urban centers.  

With your support, we can empower 10,000 pastors in 20 countries over the next two years, creating a ripple effect that touches millions of lives.  

Why Your Gift Matters

Why Your Gift Matters

Every dollar you give has the power to change lives: 

 • $50 provides credentialing for one pastor for one year.  

• $500 covers the full credentialing process and training for one pastor, equipping them to lead their community. 

 • $1,000 supports the establishment of a regional hub, connecting dozens of pastors for mentorship and resources. 

 Your generosity doesn’t just fund a program—it builds a legacy of faith, hope, and transformation. Imagine a village where a newly trained pastor brings families together in worship, or a city where a supported leader inspires youth to embrace values of compassion and integrity. Your gift makes these moments possible and furthers the kingdom of God.  

Stories of Impact

Stories of Impact

Here is a great example of how IMF is credentialing, training and empowering the next generation of pastors in Kenya. Pastor Victor Wanambuko and his wife, Pastor Monica were recently ordained by IMF President and General Overseer Rev. Dr. Paul Marzahn. Both Pastors also attended a special training for recent pastors. Pastor Monica was also trained and mentored by Pastor Deb Marzahn at a special women’s conference. 

This is one example of a young couple who is now empowered to minister and plant churches together in Kenya. They will have ongoing site support by local leadership such as Bishop Justus Wanjala who oversees the Kenyan Ordination Review Board.
