Missions
​
​Our mission at Cheney Faith Center is to help people know Jesus and live for Him daily. Jesus told us in Acts 1:8 that helping people know Jesus and live for Him starts in your own city and extends to the ends of the earth. We are thrilled to partner with missionaries that are helping others know Jesus here in Cheney and in remote parts of our world. It’s our heart that everyone would get an opportunity to believe in Jesus as their savior and live for Him everyday. You will find individuals and families that have made a great sacrifice to serve Jesus around the world. It is our privilege to support them with our prayers, finances, and love as they preach the gospel in their demographic. Joining missionaries as they serve Jesus is a great way for us to Know, Grow, and Go for Jesus too. Please consider how you could pray and give financially to our missionaries. God Bless!

Think Small Global
Gary and Paula founded thinkSMALL and now train up teams within each outreach country to minister to children ages four to 14. This safety-based program has been invited into public schools in closed countries because trafficking and abuse are so prevalent.​ With the help of our church partners, including Cheney Faith Center, thinkSMALL currently supports, 14 thinkSMALL Training Teams in Thailand, Burundi, Congo, Kenya, Peru and in 2 restricted countries (we cannot mention their names). These Training Teams have trained over 1000 local Church Teams to reach, disciple and protect children.
Since 2007, over 485,000 (including over 75,000 adults) have made decisions to follow Christ through thinkSMALL ministry and over 80 percent have entered discipleship.
Hundreds of thousands of children have been helped through thinkSMALL Gospel Child Empowerment outreaches that empower children to resist abuse, trafficking and drugs.
​
Please pray for:
-
The transformation of nations worldwide-- through the protection, evangelism and discipleship of children for Christ!
-
Pray for churches worldwide to rise up and work to fulfill the Great Commission from Jesus! (Matthew 28:19-20)
-
Pray for children around the world to be protected, saved and discipled to become lifelong Jesus-followers.​​​​​

Natalie Going
Students International
My name is Natalie Going and the Lord is currently calling me to be a missionary in the Dominican Republic. I will be doing both evangelism and discipleship through relational ministry with the organization Students International. The Lord has equipped me with Spanish language training for the past 7+ years and through my recent college degree in global ministry. Although I am currently called to the Dominican, I am willing to be uprooted and moved as the Lord calls. I simply desire to go to wherever and do whatever the Lord asks and my prayer is that you would do the same.
Tysen Stephens
Cru - Eastern Washington University
As someone who came to Christ in college, I am excited to serve God and work as a part of the amazing community that brought me to Him. Eastern Washington University is an incredible place that brings people from all walks of life together. I believe that stepping into a leadership role alongside the people that have grown my faith and to show Jesus to incoming college students is one of the best jobs in the world. It's my hope that every student on Eastern's campus has the opportunity to hear the Gospel.
Ways to support!
1) Continued prayer for God to move in powerful ways on EWU's campus.
2) Monthly or one time donations are vital to supporting my ministry.
3) Expanding my support team. If you know anybody who may be interested in hearing about my ministry, please feel free to contact me.

Athletes in Action
We serve with Athletes in Action on Eastern Washington University's campus & also in the Greater Spokane Area. We work to develop college athletes into becoming the Total Athlete - someone who is physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy. We dream of the day where there is a Christ-follower on every team on every campus in every nation. We are chasing after this by trusting God to build multi-ethnic spiritual movements in every athletic department that impacts the campus, community, and the world for Christ.
We want it to be impossible for any athlete to come through EWU and not encounter someone who truly follows Jesus.
Taylor and Cassidy Griffin
Chi Alpha - Central Washington University
Taylor & Cassidy’s vision is to create a Spirit-empowered, diverse community of believers on Central's campus, declaring in word and lifestyle their faith in Jesus Christ, equipped to fulfill their purpose in God’s global plan. Day to day looks like: meeting with students 1:1 for an hour each, planning and leading a small group, creating community and helping lead the weekly large group meetings.
