Ministering the healing love of Jesus to the nations.

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.

Our Impact & Reach

    The Encounter Family

    Encounter Missions was born from the heart of Encounter Ministries—a movement dedicated to forming disciples to live in and minister out of the power of the Holy Spirit. As leaders watched students catch fire through schools of ministry and events, a question kept rising: “What could it look like to bring this same training and activation beyond our borders?”

    What began as a desire to equip disciples at home naturally overflowed into a call to go. Encounter Missions emerged as the outward expression of Encounter Ministries’ identity—forming men and women who not only receive the love of God, but carry it to the nations.

    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.
