Mission

Praise International, supporting pastors and their families in the most impoverished areas of the world.

We at Praise International are committed to supporting, equipping and training pastors and evangelists in third world countries for the work of ministry. Our prayer is that by providing this assistance to those who have dedicated their lives to the service of Jesus Christ, we’ll be able to faithfully and accurately present His Word to all who will hear.

Praise International was founded as Praise, Inc in 1979 to help provide the Christian community in Idaho with performances by nationally known Christian artists.

Praise redefined its mission by producing Bible recordings, both in King James and Revised Standard translations. The goal was to produce the Bible on cassette and make it available for sale at the lowest possible price. This expanded to producing low cost recordings of the Bible in other languages as well.

The pastor support program began to assist indigenous pastors struggling to minister and serve in the midst of extreme poverty, hardship, and discrimination. Today, the Indigenous Minister Assistance Program is our core ministry focus.

The business side of the ministry has come about because we believe the best way to help churches in the long run is to empower local pastors and churches to stand on their own.

We stand beside them as they grow the capability to stand on their own. We do this by helping them develop income-producing activities that will sustain their families and their churches.

We appreciate your participation in these on-going efforts.

I would encourage you to contact any of us here at Praise for additional information, and investigate how the Lord would allow you to become a partner with this vital world wide ministry.

Serving Him Together,
Jim Cardillo
Chairman, Board of Directors
