What World Missions Does
A fellowship that sends, supports, and stays.
Throughout the Bible, God moves through ordinary believers who carry the Gospel beyond their own borders. AEGA World Missions exists for that work. The division supports AEGA-credentialed missionaries serving in foreign countries, helps plant local churches, and equips pastors and ministers in their own languages and contexts. Where there is need, the fellowship responds. Where there is harvest, the fellowship sends.
The AEGA World Missions Division is the arm of the fellowship that funds, supports, and resources missionary work outside the United States. AEGA missionaries plant churches to win souls for Christ, deliver Bibles and tracts in English and native languages, provide medicine and medical supplies to the sick, conduct yearly minister conferences for credentialing and training, build Bible schools and provide theological training for pastors, run the Annual Christmas Box Project, and respond with disaster relief when crisis hits a region where AEGA carries ministry. Every project is administered through a credentialed minister in good standing with AEGA.
Our Vision and Projects
Six ways AEGA World Missions moves the Gospel forward.
AEGA-credentialed missionaries plant churches, deliver Scripture in native languages, carry medical supplies into hard-to-reach regions, train pastors at yearly conferences and Bible schools, run the Annual Christmas Box Project, and respond when disaster hits a region the fellowship serves.
Church planting on the field.
AEGA provides support to missionaries in foreign countries planting churches to win souls for Christ. Every plant is led by a credentialed minister and rooted in a local community. The fellowship covers the missionary; the missionary builds the church.
Bibles and tracts in native languages.
AEGA supplies Bibles and tracts in English and other native languages so pastors and evangelists can place the Word of God directly into the hands of the people they serve. Scripture in the heart language is the foundation every other project rests on.
Medical relief.
AEGA provides medicine and medical supplies to the sick in regions where care is scarce. The fellowship partners with missionaries on the ground who carry the supplies into clinics, villages, and remote communities alongside the Gospel.
Minister conferences and credentialing.
AEGA conducts yearly minister conferences abroad and provides proper credentials and training to pastors and ministers serving outside the United States. The credential ladder runs the same overseas as it does at home, with the same Board of Examiners review and the same covering on the back end.
Disaster relief.
When earthquake, flood, hurricane, or famine hits a region where AEGA carries ministry, the fellowship moves resources to the credentialed minister on the ground. Relief flows through the same trusted hands that already pastor the community.
Bible schools and theological training.
AEGA builds Bible schools and provides theological training for pastors, ministers, and anyone who wants to learn more about the Word of God. Trained pastors plant healthier churches, and healthier churches reach more lives. The fellowship invests in the long teaching arc, not just the short outreach.
How the Money Moves
Every gift reaches a credentialed minister doing the work.
AEGA World Missions is not a fundraising overlay sitting on top of a denominational bureaucracy. It is the same fellowship that credentials ministers in 60+ countries directing resources to the ones already on the field. When a donor gives to World Missions, that gift travels through AEGA's 501(c)(3) and lands with a missionary, a Bible school project, a Christmas Box distribution, or a disaster relief response that AEGA leadership has approved. AEGA is a relational fellowship. The leaders giving accountability over missions giving know the missionaries by name. The missionaries answer to AEGA the same way every other credentialed minister does, with annual ministerial reporting and renewal. For donors who want to partner with a specific project, AEGA can route gifts to a named missionary, a named country, or a named project. Contact the office to designate a gift.
Why AEGA
A covenant fellowship behind every missionary it sends.
AEGA missionaries carry the same four-pillar promise that holds every credentialed minister in the fellowship. The covering does not stop at the border.
Covering.
Biblical, spiritual accountability that protects missionaries and affirms their God-given assignment. Where there is no accountability, there is no responsibility. AEGA-credentialed missionaries carry covering that does not expire at the airport gate.
Community.
A relational fellowship where missionaries are known by name. The Grapevine monthly newsletter. The Annual Conference Retreat. International leaders connected by relationship to U.S. leaders, not by bureaucratic line.
Coaching.
Practical leadership development through the yearly minister conferences abroad and Bible school training. AEGA invests in the teaching arc so missionaries grow as pastors, not just as fundraisers.
Credibility.
AEGA carries a 501(c)(3) on file since the 1970s and 49 years of continuous standing. Donors give knowing the fellowship behind the missionary has been answering to the IRS, the AFCB, and the VA for nearly five decades.
Annual Christmas Box Project · Bible Schools
Two projects that mark the AEGA year.
The Annual Christmas Box Project is the heartbeat of AEGA World Missions every December. Boxes packed with essentials and Gospel literature are distributed through AEGA-credentialed missionaries to children and families across the countries the fellowship serves. For many of the families receiving a box, it is the only Christmas gift that arrives. For the missionary delivering it, it is the open door that introduces a household to the local church. Bible school construction is the long-arc project. AEGA builds Bible schools in countries where formal theological training is otherwise out of reach for local pastors. A Bible school in a region multiplies the credentialed ministers AEGA can recognize there, which multiplies the churches those ministers can plant. One building, decades of fruit.

How to Support
Four ways to partner with AEGA World Missions.
01
Give to World Missions
A one-time or recurring gift to the AEGA World Missions general fund. Gifts cover missionary support, Bibles and tracts, medical supplies, Bible school construction, and disaster relief response wherever the need is greatest that month.
02
Partner on a project
Designate a gift to the Annual Christmas Box Project, a specific Bible school build, a named country, or a named missionary. Contact the AEGA office to set up project-designated giving and receive the reporting that follows.
03
Send a missionary
Pastors and churches sending a missionary into the field can carry that missionary under AEGA credentials and AEGA covering. The same Ordained Minister credential that holds in the U.S. holds abroad, with foreign affiliation handled through AEGA's Foreign Affiliation Division.
04
Sponsor a Bible school
Bible school construction in a country where AEGA already credentials pastors is one of the highest-leverage gifts a donor can make. One building trains generations of credentialed ministers. Contact the office for current build opportunities and budgets.
Frequently Asked
World Missions, answered.
What is the AEGA World Missions Division?
The AEGA World Missions Division is the arm of the fellowship that funds and supports missionary work outside the United States. It covers church planting, Bibles and tracts in native languages, medical supplies, yearly minister conferences and credentialing abroad, Bible school construction and theological training, the Annual Christmas Box Project, and disaster relief. AEGA is a Spirit-filled fellowship of ministers serving in more than 60 countries.
How does AEGA decide where the money goes?
AEGA leadership reviews project requests from credentialed missionaries and affiliated ministries abroad and directs World Missions giving accordingly. General-fund gifts flow to current needs across church planting, Bibles, medical relief, Bible schools, the Christmas Box Project, and disaster response. Designated gifts route to the named project, country, or missionary. Every recipient is a credentialed AEGA minister or AEGA-affiliated work in good standing.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. AEGA Ministries International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with an IRS group exemption on file since the 1970s. Gifts to AEGA World Missions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law. Receipts are issued by the AEGA office.
Can I designate a gift to a specific missionary or project?
Yes. Donors can designate a gift to the Annual Christmas Box Project, a specific Bible school build, a named country, or a named AEGA missionary. Contact the AEGA office to set up project-designated giving.
How does someone become an AEGA-supported missionary?
An AEGA missionary is first an AEGA-credentialed minister. The credential ladder runs Ministerial Apprentice, Christian Worker, Licensed Minister, Ordained Minister. Ministers serving abroad typically carry Licensed or Ordained credentials and connect to AEGA through the Foreign Affiliation Division.
What is the Annual Christmas Box Project?
The Annual Christmas Box Project is AEGA's December outreach. Boxes packed with essentials and Gospel literature are distributed by AEGA-credentialed missionaries to children and families in countries the fellowship serves. For many recipient families, it is the only Christmas gift that arrives, and for the missionary delivering it, it is the open door that introduces a household to the local church.
