Finish Line Ministries International

Women Rising is an initiative of Finish Line Ministries International that strives to provide leadership, discipleship, and evangelism training for thousands of women serving in Finish Line churches throughout the remote villages of Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.

In collaboration with our African ministry leaders, our team in the United States creates ministry and mentoring opportunities designed to strengthen the spiritual lives of the 60,000 women attending Finish Line churches each week. Together, we teach, train, and disciple women to grow in their faith and reach others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! ☀☀

Our Work: Training | Equipping | Providing | Reaching

In pursuit of Gospel impact, we serve alongside the remarkable men and women of southeast Africa to train pastors, equip the church, provide for orphans, and reach the lost. Together, we create and carry out ministry initiatives designed to change lives, proclaim the message of Jesus Christ, and establish His church.

To God be the glory!

The Book of Psalms is a book of prayers and praise. It teaches us to learn about the importance of prayer and the acknowledgment of pain, as well as the power of praise. No matter the season you’re currently in, there is a word for you in the book of Psalms. Dwell in the word today! 🙏

Without our faithful supporters, NONE of this is possible. THANK YOU for investing in the lives of these wonderful men, women, and children!

Last year, God worked through the people and programs of Finish Line Ministries International to see: 👉

God hears you.

🙏

We began Finish Line's most extensive ministry expansion effort earlier this summer. The Gospel Impact project required significant funding, but we believe that God is calling us to equip our team to share the message of Jesus with 10,000 new people each year for years to come. God's people caught the vision and generously supported the project.
Today, I'm thrilled to announce that all construction, equipment, and transportation needs for the Gospel Impact Project in southeast Africa are fully funded, and work has already begun. Thank you for making this possible!

Join us in continuing to pray for the ongoing construction efforts!

Together, we create and carry out ministry initiatives designed to change lives, proclaim the message of Jesus Christ, and establish His church.

Today, 20 years ago, our Pastors Bible Institute in Malawi opened its doors! This institute was the culmination of lots of prayer and fundraising efforts. Since its first opening, over 180 men have graduated and gone on to plant churches all throughout southeast Africa!

Last week, our Women Rising team spoke at the Table Gathering event at Harvest Hills Ministries! Our speakers shared powerful insights on how and why we should seek opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We are grateful to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to making this event impactful!

Our Finish Line pastors and church planters are amid an active outreach and church planting season. They are dedicated to their calling and will work tirelessly to carry the message of Jesus to people and villages that do not have a Gospel presence!

Join us in praying for safe travels for our pastors and church planters and for many people to come to know Jesus because of these travels!

Our Bible and Bicycle Initiatives are in full swing during the summer months.

Please Pray:
- For pastors and church planters as they use their bicycles to carry the Gospel to people living in the remote villages and rural areas of Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.
- That many will come to faith in Jesus Christ.
- That believers will grow in their faith as they read and study their new Bibles.

Our Women Rising leaders had the incredible opportunity to speak at the Table Gathering event at Harvest Hills Ministries! We came together as a community of women to be inspired by the message of finding opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to making this event impactful!

Our Bicycle Distribution Initiative aims to provide a simple mode of transportation for pastors in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. This initiative allows pastors to serve their villages effectively, spread the Gospel, and establish churches in their communities. Without these bicycles, pastors would spend hours walking from village to village every day.

For just $115, you can provide a bicycle for a Finish Line Pastor to serve and preach effectively in remote villages! Visit the link in our bio to learn more! 🚲👏

Over the past several months, our team in Africa has been distributing the 25,000 pounds of clothing graciously donated by our friends in Central Ohio in November of 2023.
