Every Nation Churches & Ministries

What Every Nation Churches & Ministries does

Every Nation Churches & Ministries is a US-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1994 in Manila, Philippines, by Steve Murrell, Rice Broocks, and Phil Bonasso (originally as Morning Star International, renamed in 2004). It operates a global church-planting and campus-ministry network organized around the mission of establishing Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, and socially responsible churches in every nation. As of October 2025 the network spans 711 churches across 84 nations (plus 10 territories) and reaches 1,405 university campuses through its affiliated Every Nation Campus program, with regional Global Teams covering Latin America, North America, Europe, West Africa, Southern Africa, Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Central Asia, Philippines, and Oceania.

The organization delivers its mission through a vertically integrated set of affiliated ministries and resources: the Every Nation Campus program places church-based missionaries on university campuses; Leadership 215 provides global minister training and ordination (launched 2016); Every Nation Seminary (launched 2021, with its Statement of Faith adopted network-wide in 2022) offers formal theological education; Every Nation Music (launched 2014) produces worship content; and a publishing catalog of 58+ books plus discipleship curricula — We Believe, We Believe Next Gen, We Go, and One2One (in 20 languages via iOS and Android) — extends doctrinal and missional content through digital and print channels. Distribution is supported by the Every Nation App, the Every Nation Podcast, and the Every Nation Music Podcast, alongside annual events such as Go Conference and Pentecost Sunday. ECFA accreditation and annual independent audits by Capin Crouse LLP backstop financial accountability.

The revenue model is donation-driven, relying on ministry partners who give through regional portals (US, Europe, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa) and the Ministry Expansion Fund; secondary revenue comes from book sales through Amazon and other retailers. The organization is headquartered at P.O. Box 1787, Brentwood, Tennessee, with a training facility in Manila and operations led by cofounder Steve Murrell as President under governance by an Apostolic Council and Oversight Team. Mission 2029, launched in 2025, drives the current growth strategy targeting 20 new nations with campus-reaching churches by 2029.
