Our mission and principles
Mike and Jeanette Propp served as missionaries for more than two decade in south-east Asia. During that time the began several ministries, including an orphanage, a refuge for victims of domestic violence, and a discipleship school They joined the Jonathan Project and began passionately starting small, simple reproducible churches, training new believers to live their lives in such a way that they, too, could be part of making new disciples who would themselves make new disciples. The church community rapidly expanded, and later, through the Jonathan Project, they trained church planters from multiple Asian nations. As the ministry's reach grew they felt a passionate conviction that the Church from the developing world is called to go into all the world, making disciples. All Nations Initiative was born as a ministry to support missionaries from the developing world Church. These developing world believers will be trained, equipped, and sent into other nations where the Gospel still needs to take root among unreached people groups in those lands.
All Nations Initiative exists to bring the Gospel to new people in new places, as well as supporting other holistic ministries, such as Village of Hope, Educate Bohol, and Refuge of Hope.
After praying over the name of the new organization, we agreed on All Nations Initiative. It was sometime later when it struck us: In Bisaya, a widely spoken Filipino language, the word ani means, "The Harvest" or "Harvesting". In Javanese, spoken widely in Indonesia, ani is the sickle used in harvesting.
Tom grew up going to church. In High School he went from knowing about Jesus and believing in him, to falling deeply in love with him. His heart has been captured by the love that Jesus has for all people. Tom believes, “The more people get to know Jesus, the more they will love him!” He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Theology and Ministry from Boise Bible College and a Master of Arts in Global Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary. He often says, he is far more interested in transformation that in acquiring information.
Tom wants to see people know Jesus--that passion drives him as he leads All Nations Initiative in reaching more people in more places with the Gospel.
Cash, check, credit card, and many different online platforms can be used to make donations. On occasion we also collect donated items in America to ship to foreign projects. For more information visit our Donate page.
Yes, as long as your visit would not jeopardize anyone's safety, including your own. There are certain programs, though, such as human-trafficking intervention, where respect for privacy would prohibit visiting the victims served, but meeting national volunteers and team members could be possible. Please contact us if there's a program or field you would like to visit.
Accountability and integrity are important to us. All funded programs are required to provide an accounting for funds entrusted to them. We have created a system where receipts can be digitized and audits performed anywhere in the world. These reports can be made available digitally for review, as long as doing so does not jeopardize anyone's safety.
Furthermore, All Nations Initiative strives to have at least one representative visit the foreign based projects at least biennially. These visits will include interviews, financial reviews, and other oversight activities to ensure that funds are being used as intended.
There are safeguards in place to be sure that we are in compliance with federal laws regarding the funding of terrorism. Every organization we work with is required to show us a list of their officers and principals, approved by their nation's government. Twice a year All Nations Initiative checks those names against the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control's Specially Designated Nationals (OFAC-SDN) list. Also, through the use of technology, names of foreign organization's principals will be monitored automatically, triggering alarms should any of them ever appear on the list. Every foreign organization will be required to recertify themselves with All Nations Initiative annually, and whenever there is a change to that organization's principals.
