Since Jesus first commissioned His disciples to carry His gospel to the ends of the earth (Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8), supporting missions and missionaries has been a necessary and vital part of fulfilling that call. While we cannot personally go to every corner of the globe, we can partner with and support those who are sent (Rom. 10:14-15). At Christ Bible Church, we are committed to furthering the gospel both locally and globally through our support of various ministries and missionaries.
Compassionate hope: Moses home
Compassionate Hope Foundation is dedicated to ending child exploitation and trafficking in Southeast Asia, specifically in Thailand, Laos, and the Philippines. Through their network of Homes of Hope, they provide orphanages run by local Christians, offering safety, education, and hope to the fatherless. Christ Bible Church sponsors the Moses Home, one of these Homes of Hope, where children receive care and the opportunity for a better future.
nikkel family (tyler and Abby) - Czech republic
For over six years, we have been blessed to support Tyler and Abby Nikkel. Starting as missionaries in Borneo, they now serve in the Czech Republic, one of the most atheistic nations in Europe. The Nikkels continue their work of sharing the gospel and building relationships in a culture deeply in need of the hope found in Christ.
heartcry missionary society
For over thirty years, HeartCry Missionary Society has been passionate about spreading the gospel to all nations. Their approach focuses on equipping and supporting indigenous missionaries, enabling them to reach their own people with the message of Christ. Christ Bible Church is honored to be a part of this important work.

Hope Haven Ministries, based in downtown Kingsport, TN, provides shelter and care for homeless men, women, and children during their time of crisis. With an emphasis on compassion and practical support, Hope Haven offers a safe and clean environment for those in need. We are grateful to support this ministry in our local community.
hope house
Located in Kingsport, TN, Hope House serves women and
children through a variety of services, including maternity shelter, housing,
food, clothing, transportation, and prenatal care. Additionally, they offer
education, job placement, and self-sufficiency training. Christ Bible Church
partners with Hope House as they seek to empower and support women facing
challenging circumstances.
Bible Study Two
Bible Study Two serves underprivileged youth in the Kingsport City School system. Our goal is to provide these students with support, a safe environment, and the hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ. In the past, several men from our church helped transport kids home after Bible Study. COVID took a toll on our numbers, and as a result, that need diminished. Thankfully, we’ve bounced back, with growing numbers and the addition of new groups, including Bible Study Girls for young women.
With this growth, we now have a renewed need for help with transportation. If anyone is available and willing to assist in getting these kids home after Bible Study, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Nathan Skeens, skeensnathan238@gmail.com
