Sharing the gospel of Jesus around the world...
Throughout its history, Assemblies of God World Missions has maintained a singular focus expressed
in 1914 at the second General Council of the Assemblies of God. There, delegates approved this resolution:
“We commit ourselves and the Movement to Him for the greatest evangelism the world has ever seen.”
In living out this commitment, AGWM has always relied on missions-minded pastors, congregations
and individuals. People like you.
Your prayers and giving and personal involvement in missions ministry are the backbone of what God
is doing through AGWM around the world.
Every resource in this catalog is designed with you in mind. Whether you are looking for tools to take your
church’s upcoming missions convention to the next level, or printed material to inspire readers to come
alongside a project in a specific region or nation, or media to give voice to your congregation’s heart for
the lost, there is something in these pages that can meet that need.
Take a look at our full-color monthly magazine, WorldView. Check out our posters that powerfully capture
human need around the world. Explore missions resources that can fit any budget.
We want to be your partners in proclaiming the good news of our Savior to Every Tribe I Every Nation.
Let us help you amplify your voice of hope to our dying world. We want everyone to hear the good news.
Let’s get started... Andy Raatz

The gospel is for everyone. It doesn’t matter
what your background is, what your culture
is, where you come from, or the language you
speak. Try to name a restriction, and you can’t.
The gospel is for everyone. And everyone
means everyone.
That’s the message AG World Missions is
heralding in its Every Tribe I Every Nation
theme. It’s a message that connects with
the life theme of the Early Church’s first
great missionary, the apostle Paul. “I am not
ashamed of the gospel,” he insisted, “because
it is the power of God for the salvation of
everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16, NIV).
In contemplating that journey to belief,
Paul also asked the most probing question
in missions history: “How can they believe
in the one of whom they have not heard?
(Romans 10:14).
Every Tribe I Every Nation must hear the
good news. Every resource in the following
pages is designed to let us partner with you
in making that happen.

From the ‘Killing Fields’ to the Mission Field by Kirk Noonan 717-413
Dareth Ly was only a child when he was interred by the Khmer Rouge in one of Cambodia’s notorious death
camps. How he survived, was miraculously adopted by a family in the United States, and then returned to his
homeland to share the hope of the gospel, is a story of undiluted grace.
“Miss Greve, Is That You?” by Kristel Ortiz as told by Ann Greve 717-417
In post-war Cambodia, God’s promise of a ‘hope and a future’ seemed unattainable. Destroyed by years of cruel
dictatorship, the nation was reeling and without hope. Yet as missionary Ann Greve discovered, God’s plans for
restoration are beyond imagination, His vessels perfectly prepared, and His timing impeccable.
Martyrs’ Isle by Bryan Webb 717-415
On Vanuatu’s Erromango Island, in the heart of the South Pacific, the ultimate sacrifice of missionaries John
Williams and Jacob Harris in 1839 at the hands of a murderous tribe is bearing spiritual fruit today. And a
miracle of the tides is still a testimony as tangible as the church today’s Christians have built.
Waylaid: How Two Bandits Met Christ by Kristel Ortiz as told by Mary Ballenger 717-416
Accosted at gunpoint one night while traveling a dark forest road, Togolese missionary John Walada was
unaware that Someone was preparing to take his captors by total surprise…and none of them would ever be
the same.
A Missions Family Tree by Scott Hanson 717-414
Scott Hanson’s story of missions service encompasses his family’s multigenerational commitment to Africa,
and is reflected in the narrative of his friends Pastor Balela and Pastor John. A 20-year journey brought spiritual
transformation to a remote unreached people group and raised up missionaries there to push the gospel into
new and challenging mission fields.
When Fathers Fail by Kristel Ortiz as told by Don Triplett 717-418
Young Sara was resolute. Her father was coming home. She was so certain that she declined any further
prayers over the matter. Missionaries Don and Terri Triplett, who saw Sara’s family disintegrate a few years
earlier when her father ran away with another woman, could only stand by and trust.

Saved From Suicide
by Scott Hanson 717-421 719-054 I 25¢ each
A Northern Asian man felt that he had become a
“sweep star” – a source of bad luck to himself and
everyone around him. His despair was so deep that
he began to wish for death and hell. Due to the time constraints of gathering
