ARK International exists to see the Church planted—not buildings with walls, but people who make up the Body of Christ.

 

Our heart is the Great Commission in the Gospel of Matthew 28:
“Go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

​

We believe this is done simply:

Disciples who make disciples.
Leaders who make leaders.
Churches that plant churches.

Simple. Reproducible. Self-Sustaining.

Simple.
We follow the model of Jesus. As seen in the Gospel of Matthew 10, we go where He leads and look for those the Holy Spirit is already drawing.

​

Through discipleship, Discovery Bible Study, and obedience-based teaching, we walk alongside new believers—helping them not only hear God’s Word, but live it out.

​

Just as in the Acts of the Apostles, we don’t focus on buildings—we focus on people. The Church is planted in homes, in villages, and in everyday life.

​

Reproducible.
This mission is not meant for a few—it is the calling of every believer.

In Second Epistle to Timothy 2:2, we are instructed to pass on what we have learned to others who will do the same.

​

As believers are taught to obey Jesus and teach others to obey, discipleship naturally multiplies—from one life to another, from one home to the next.

​

Through simple, biblical discipleship, the Gospel spreads without barriers and without dependence on costly structures.

​

Self-Sustaining.
We believe the Gospel should not only grow—it should endure.

​

Jesus teaches us that if someone is thirsty, we give them a drink (Matthew 25).
So we meet real needs—while building long-term sustainability.

​

We provide clean water through wells drilled by local teams of trained pastors and Christian leaders—opening doors for the Gospel in their own communities.

​

But we don’t create dependency—we invest in people.

​

We equip church leaders and families with practical skills and opportunities to generate income and provide for themselves.

​

Through agriculture, irrigation systems, and use of existing land, families are able to produce consistent income.
Through animal farming—chickens, goats, and cattle—communities gain both food sources and financial stability.

Through small businesses—such as sewing, local trade, and pharmacies—leaders and their families grow in dignity, provision, and influence.

​

This is not just support—it is multiplication.

​

As churches become self-sustaining, leaders are trained to pass this model on—discipling new believers, planting new churches, and equipping the next generation of leaders to do the same.

​

What is learned is not kept—it is multiplied.

​

In this way, the Gospel spreads…
churches grow…
and communities are transformed—spiritually and practically.

​

Today, ARK International is serving in Africa, Central America and Asia—reaching communities where many are hearing the Gospel for the very first time.

​

We are seeing lives transformed.
Leaders raised up.
And churches multiplying.

And this is only the beginning.
