Our Mission

Our mission is to equip and empower the global Church and partner organizations to engage in cross-cultural discipleship, foster cross-cultural leadership, and cultivate cross-cultural collaboration.

The Problem: God connects the dots between us and the world He loves. However, there is a significant gap in churches and organizations when it comes to engaging in cross-cultural discipleship and fostering cross-cultural leadership. 

  • Many disciple people who are like them or from similar backgrounds, but Scripture also calls us to go beyond our own culture or background and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). 

  • Most training, resources, and strategic planning for cross-cultural discipleship and leadership focus on overseas missions, but God calls us to engage cross-culturally both at home and abroad.

The Solution: International Life exists to equip, empower, and train churches and organizations to engage people from other cultures in discipleship, seeing them as co-laborers and leaders in the harvest, both in the U.S. and abroad. We believe this will bring us closer to fulfilling Jesus' mandate to make disciples of all nations.

Our focus will be on the following:

  • resource development

  • training (including Cultural Intelligence, or CQ)

  • networking & collaboration

  • strategic planning

  • leadership development through a spiritual and biblical framework  

Goals for 2025:

  • To collaborate with and equip five churches or organizations—four based in the U.S. and one internationally—in cross-cultural discipleship and leadership. Learn more by clicking below!

  • Your gift will be handled with complete integrity through the 501(c)(3) organization of International Life and under the accountability of our prayerfully selected Board of Directors.

This is the International Life Roadmap, which outlines our Action Plan for the first few years of our existence. We are currently in Phase 1.
