The Trewern Family
The Trewerns are passionate about reaching both the national and international population of Southern Europe. Leading in a multi-ethnic, multi-generational context is not just their calling, but something that brings them both great joy!
The Trewerns will be the first missionaries for Assemblies of God World Missions to have in the city of Genova. Genova is a city of half a million people, with less than 2% identifying as Evangelical Christian. This city is an international hub, attracting immigrants and refugees from around the world. An international church conducts services in both English and the countries native language (Italian).
“We believe God is already at work in the city of Genova and that many souls will experience redemption, restoration, community and life as a church is built from the ground up.’ Holly Trewern
Agape
International
Ministries
Girls as young as seven years old are being sold for sex every night. This is absolutely unacceptable, so we are relentless in our mission to rescue, see them healed, and empower them to be free from trafficking. Cambodia’s unique economic challenges, history and geographic location make it a hub for targeting, transporting and harboring trafficking victims. Although previously known to be the child sex trafficking capitol of the world, we are now seeing effective change taking place.
For these girls to truly heal and grow, they need to feel the unconditional love of Christ. When this love is shown, survivors understand their true worth and value, and then they are able to become abolitionists themselves; raising their voices and fighting for the freedom of other girls. In addition to this, our protection programs are targeting the root of the issue by addressing the demand for purchased sex and protecting the vulnerable in the community.
Bridges For Peace
Founded in 1976, Bridges for Peace seeks to be a ministry of hope and reconciliation. Through programs both in Israel and worldwide, we are giving Christians the opportunity to actively express their biblical responsibility before God to be faithful to Israel and the Jewish community.
The desire is to see Christians and Jews working side by side for better understanding and a more secure Israel.
Living Stones Ministry
Living Stones Ministries, established in 2008 by Pastor Moazzam Waqas, Salina Waqas, and their family in Okara, Pakistan, is driven by a deep passion for God and profound compassion for people.
In a country where Christians face discrimination and are considered second-class citizens, Living Stones Ministries strives to bring about a transformation within the Christian community. Their vision is to equip a generation of Christian children with a solid education, helping them develop a strong faith and a confident Christian identity. Through their ministry and schools, they offer hope and a brighter future to the impoverished and marginalized families residing in the slums of Okara and isolated rural regions of Punjab.
Currently, they operate two schools that provide essential education to 600 children between the ages of 4 and 16. Additionally, Living Stones Ministries pioneers the equipping of rural pastors and evangelists, conducting outreach worship and revival meetings in isolated rural areas that are underserved by mainstream churches.

Jeremy Williamson- restoration project
The Restoration Project believes that nothing is more dangerous to evil than when the sons of God remember and reclaim who they truly are.
In a world where too many men lead lives of isolation—working, providing, and offering their best, often at the cost of losing their souls—the Restoration Project seeks to change this. They recognize the deep longing within men everywhere for connectedness, brotherhood, and restoration in their souls and families. However, many men don’t know where or how to find it.
The mission of the Restoration Project is to catalyze a worldwide movement of restored men. These restored men are healing their wounds, reclaiming their true stories, knowing God intimately, and bringing restoration and kindness to their families, communities, and the world.
Jeremy, a key leader in the Restoration Project, has a multi-faceted role. He leads the team that designs and executes dozens of experiences, inviting hundreds of men into wilderness encounters each year. These experiences are designed to help men encounter God, heal from their wounds, and rediscover the meaning of sonship, brotherhood, and fatherhood.
Jeremy also ministers to pastors and ministry leaders in need, offering counseling, sabbatical coaching, and intensive spiritual and emotional care to those facing crises. Additionally, he is building a global network of churches to ignite a movement of sons across the globe who bring restoration and life to their families and the Kingdom. Recognizing the challenges of leading men’s ministry, Jeremy works to empower the Church by providing resources and fostering relationships, ensuring that men’s ministries worldwide are better equipped to reach and disciple men effectively.

KINSmen
Kinsmen curates deep conversations for men, centered on faith, fatherhood, and work. They do this because they believe community must be reimagined for men who follow Jesus. Their organizational outputs include publishing, podcasting, and creating intentional gatherings for men.
Their hope is to further the redemptive work of Jesus in the lives of men by providing a living demonstration of what it means to be adopted into the family of grace, as well as how to faithfully follow Jesus in the present day as men.
Fully Equipped Bible Institute
The Fully Equipped Bible Institute is dedicated to providing high quality online Bible programs leading to bachelor’s or associate degrees for pastors and Christian leaders around the world. They equip students with the biblical foundations and practical ministry tools they need to be “equipped for every good work”, whether in the pulpit, church, ministry, or marketplace.
Hope Church is currently sponsoring 10 scholarships each month through the Fully Equipped Bible Institute, supporting 10 specific students who apply and qualify for the program. This initiative is helping pastors across 14 African countries where new laws require a formal Bible degree to continue leading their churches. Without this support, many could lose their pastoral roles and congregations will be dismantled. Our partnership, which began in late 2024, is part of an urgent effort to equip these leaders with the education they need. Pastor Gary, a founding board member of the institute, continues to play a key role in this mission.
