CHE seamlessly integrates evangelism and discipleship with disease prevention and community-based development. The work is holistic, seeking to meet the whole need of individuals and communities by following what Jesus directed us to do.
Aid workers first used CHE in the 1980's in Africa. The program is a true best practices model. Today, it's used in over 100 countries by churches, denominations, mission agencies, non-government organizations, and national and local governments. CHE can lift whole communities out of cycles of poverty and disease. You can read more about it on their website.

The greatest story ever told is at our fingertips! Every page of God's Work displays his love for mankind. So, how can we get his life-sustaining love off of the pages and into someone else's heart? Sharing Jesus can be awkward and weird in most social contexts, especially when we feel pressured to remember complex evangelistic methods for sharing Jesus. So, most of us shy away from it.
However, Jesus himself shared the Good News of the kingdom of God by sharing simple stories with people. He didn't insist that people completely understand the stories nor did he even explain the stories. He simply told stories and waited on the Holy Spirit to enlighten the listeners and empower their hearts to change and grow.
Our next storytelling workshop is Jan. 25, 9am-4pm in Kansas City. Lunch will be provided. Cost is $25 for an individual or $20 each for a group of five or more.
Global Experience Gatherings: Good Food and Relationships!
Dates: All Gatherings take place on the 3rd Friday of the month, 6:30pm-9:00pm. See the Calendar for a complete date list.
Location: All Nations' Training House at 13008 Grandview Rd / Grandview, MO 64030.
Once a month, All Nations hosts an informal get-together with friends, good food, and an exciting array of stories from the field. Come and get to know other people interested in missions! It's a rare chance to meet seasoned church planters from the field, hear their stories, and ask questions.
Past speakers have included missionaries from around the world. They're people involved in unique and exciting projects. Often, their stories stem from experiences in what we call "creative access countries" where the gospel is growing most and the dangers just as numerous.
If you're looking for a first-hand, unfiltered, on-the-ground report of what God's doing in the world, come and join us!
