“For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."   -- John 6:40

Our Mission
The mission of Sonflower Ministries is to support the year-round ministries of churches in Central and Eastern Europe, with a focus on church planting and church revitalization. The work is carried out through short-term mission trips within long-term partnerships between US and overseas churches. Our operational approach emphasizes the establishment and expansion of networks of in-country resources, promoting cooperation, collaboration, and the efficient use of resources. Team-building in the US is designed to help participants better understand their calling to Christian service and mission. Where possible, family participation is encouraged so that lessons learned while “on mission” can be reinforced around the dinner table for years to come, adding a new dimension to their sense of family identity.

Why "Sonflower" Ministries?

 Distinctive Characteristics

• Family participation is encouraged
• Projects focus on villages instead of major urban centers (although results directly support ministries in the urban centers)
• Lay leadership
• Emphasis of short term missions within long-term partnerships
• Intentionally including non-believers in teams, where practical, as a means of reaching them: translators, parents, and government, school, and other community leaders.
