Mission Partners is committed to Strengthening and Restoring Families in Crisis so that all families everywhere are safe, healthy, and restored to wholeness in Christ Jesus.

​

Mission Partners has been working in the countries of Eastern Europe since the early 1990s, when God first called founders Ron and Heather Garrison to begin travelling as missionaries to countries across what was then the declining Soviet empire. 

 

Mission Partners International was officially started in London, Ontario, Canada, in 1995. Mission Partners, or MPI as it is commonly called, has operated its international head office in London, Ontario, ever since.

​

Throughout its long history, Mission Partners has met thousands of people's physical and spiritual needs. Through local partnerships across Russia, Central Asia, Ukraine, and, more recently, Poland and Moldova, MPI has been at the forefront of helping vulnerable families, seniors, and orphans receive compassionate help and care.

 

MPI has also helped to support the personal needs of pastors and their families and made it possible for strong Christian community to be developed across Ukraine, which has been vital to serving thousands of vulnerable families in times crisis.

​

Today, our goal is to minister to people the way Christ did by meeting not only their spiritual needs with the truth of the Gospel but also the deep physical and emotional needs that are acutely accentuated by war-induced trauma.

​

Our focus on unity and partnership provides the strength and resources needed to drive long-lasting, authentic life transformation. We know that we are better when we work together for a common goal and that the church of God CAN make a difference.

​

Whether it is giving out emergency supplies like food or blankets for the vulnerable, providing vital help for families in poverty, investing in sustainability projects, or advocating for the "boots-on-the-ground" ministers who serve people daily, everything we do makes a life-long impact on the lives of people in need and demonstrates the indescribable love of Jesus Christ.

​

God has placed Mission Partners at a critical juncture in history. While the world is facing a growing confrontation between East and West, MPI is ministering to people in need. Together with our partners, we are ready to be used by God to accomplish His work.

 

Our vision and mission are clear. We are passionate about strengthening and restoring families in crisis. As we strive to meet the growing, urgent humanitarian needs, we remain steadfast in sharing hope in Jesus Christ. Alongside our partners, we are creating a strong relationship-driven, community-based programs that transform the lives of children and families so that lives are forever changed.
