Valley Creek Church partners with a variety of mission organizations and missionaries to "go and make disciples of all nations." Matthew 28:19. Our partners bring the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to different cultures and distant lands. Below are mission organizations and missionaries that we partner with in spreading the Gospel.
Elam Ministries (Iran)
The mission of Elam Ministries is to strengthen and expand the Church in the Iran Region and beyond. The training of existing and emerging Iranian church leaders is at the heart of Elam's strategy. Since 1990, Elam has developed various programs for leadership development. Their goal is to train Iranian church leaders and workers who will effectively serve the growing Iranian church. A second key component of their strategy is to equip the church in Iran with the Bibles, books and resources they need for effective ministry. To this end, Elam is involved in Bible translation, production and distribution. Thirdly, Elam works directly in the field by sending trained leaders and workers to strengthen existing churches and establish new ones. They also produce television programs designed to provide Iranians with a clear presentation of the Good News. Visit the Elam Ministries website at http://www.elam.com
