Ministering the healing love of Jesus to the world.

Answering the Call

Why do we go? Patrick Reis and Fr. Mathias Thelen, co-founders of Encounter Ministries, share the heart and impact of Encounter Missions.

Who We Are

We send Spirit-filled believers around the world to reveal God’s love, release His power, and build up the Church in the nations.

In partnership with Encounter Ministries, Encounter Missions is an international Catholic apostolate that leads short-term healing mission trips around the world. We send alumni and Year 2 students of the Encounter School of Ministry to heal the sick, preach the Gospel and demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit everywhere we go.
