Whole World
Kaleo's International Ministry exists to delight in God above all else, to exalt His name among all people, for God's Glory through Jesus Christ. We do this by extending all available support to the international fight for the Glory of Christ. By supporting the spread of His word, by supporting the founding of His communities, and by supporting those who have fallen for God's glory in all areas outside of the United States with a special focus on those nations who have limited exposure to the Lord's Word particularly those with limited financial resources.
How does Kaleo do this?
World Community
The Lord shows us how the Whole World is linked under Christ Jesus to our Communities. To those who preach His word we are made like brothers in arms. To those tormented for His glory we also are burdened as their own family.
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember,I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Mathew 28:17-20
Most of us will never get a chance to be a missionary to far away lands. But as the Macedonians supported Paul in his church planting trips, we also can bring help to our brothers and sisters in Christ, Saints who are fighting for our Lord's glory in their homelands. For this our Missional Communities are partnering with church planters in India, Africa, Asia, and elsewhere as the Lord leads us. As their brothers in arms, we struggle with them in the battle for Christ glory. Our prayers, our hearts and our resources are joined with theirs for the glory of our King.
"Remember those in prison as though you were in prison with them, and those tormented as though you too felt their torment." Hebrews 13:3
As with being a missionary it is near impossible for us to visit those who have been imprisoned for their faith. But the Lord has blessed us with the modern technology and has given us a mail system by which we can visit and pray for our brothers and sisters being tormented for their faith with our prayers and letters of encouragement. Thus our Missional Communities, in partnership with Voice Of the Martyrs and Open Doors UK, are "adopting" Christians who are in prison in nations like China, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Iraq, Pakistan, and elsewhere as the Lord leads us. For those imprisoned and tormented, our hearts are also tormented. We pray for them, their tormentor, and their families, as if they were our own.

World Mercy
God uses our hands to help those victimized by the evils of this sinful world. To show the world His Mercy and to teach us His Love.
“On the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, on the day that you were born. And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you in your blood, 'Live!' I said to you in your blood, 'Live!' I made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall and arrived at full adornment." Ezekiel 16:4-7
In these United States we often take pride in how we are the most powerful and richest nation in history. However those riches are not of value when measured by God. For how many times does the Lord show that riches benefit a man nothing, yet most often lead to his destruction. Have we not have become as the Lord condemned by the word of the Prophet Isaiah, "Woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, until there is no more room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land." ( Isaiah 5:8). Let us remember how our Father in heaven showed us mercy and when we were yet sinners, how we were destitute of all things that hold true value, broken, and lost. Therefore depending on the Lord for our sustenance let us share that which the Lord has blessed us with with those in need. Give God the glory by sharing the Love He gave us and battle against the evil ways of man that leaves so many in poverty and suffering with mercy and love.

World Kingdom
Building Sanctuaries and other infrastructure needs:
We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part... I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.... that your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness. As it is written, "Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack." 2 Corinthians 8:1-8:15
All around the world communities of believers struggle under oppression and poverty. As it was in the Church of Jerusalem, often they do not have the funds or opportunities to provide for their needs, especially with infrastructure. As Paul encouraged the Corinthians, who as with us were one of the trade and financial centers of the world, he encourages us also to show our love. Thus Kaleo is working with our international partners to build churches and community infrastructure needs where ever the Lord calls us.
