LEARN HOW WE ARE
MAKING THE MOST IMPACT
Our Vision:
Uniting passionate ministry sponsors with dependable Kingdom laborers in need
Creating powerful partnerships that drive meaningful change and empower communities. Together, we can transform lives and fulfill our divine purpose by filling the gaps the on-the-ground ministries face everyday.
Our Story
The Antioch Initiative draws its name and vision from Barnabas's story in the Book of Acts (Antioch was his hometown). The Bible describes his passionate funding and involvement as a launching pad for world evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.
This is also the story of our Fellowship. In the early 1970s, Pastor Wayman Mitchell saw revival sweep through the Jesus People Movement. As young men and women were being radically saved from brokenness and rebellion, he recognized their potential. He trained them, discipled them, and released them to preach the Gospel.
From that single small church in Prescott, Arizona, a global movement began. Today, we are a fellowship of over 4,000 churches across 120+ nations, all committed to one cause: the Great Commission.
The Antioch Initiative was formed to continue that legacy by supporting those still answering the call, going to the highways and byways, and building the Church in every corner of the earth.
“And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold [it], and brought the money and laid [it] at the apostles’ feet.”
What We Do
We channel resources directly to grantees requesting investments in:
Pastoral Aid — providing emergency assistance, housing, and ministry support for shepherds
Building Projects — helping congregations leap over significant hurdles to create space for worship
New church plants — funding startup costs and outreach efforts
Evangelism campaigns — empowering disciples to reach their cities with the hope of the Gospel
Leadership development — investing in long-term Gospel laborers as they train workers
Our Values
-
Every dollar is accounted for and mission-focused.
-
These are not just handouts. They are seeds that will grow into mighty trees.
-
To Christ, to His Word, and to His Great Commission.
-
Investments not just for today, but for generations to come.
-
Similar to Barnabas, our purpose is to support and uplift those who work tirelessly for the Gospel.
