World Missions Ministries Announces 2025 Antioch Grant Awards
- World Missions Ministries Communications Office
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — World Missions Ministries (WMM), with the help of many generous, missions-oriented congregations, has awarded nine Antioch Grants for 2025 totaling $734,600.
In 2014, WMM began to strategically emphasize Antioch Grants as part of its departmental budget through the Global Outreach Offering. Over the years, these awarded grants have served to establish IPHC Headquarters in various countries, develop infrastructure for International Bible Schools, expand congregations, and so much more. WMM directs these funds to provide for ministry projects viewed as vital to training leaders and pastors, expanding IPHC's reach into new countries, and ultimately fulfilling the Great Commission.
This year, WMM saw a record number of Antioch Grant requests. To help meet the vast needs witnessed globally, IPHC conferences and local churches stepped in, through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, to fund these projects.
“During the WMM Council meeting, and since, members and pastors have been spontaneously and supernaturally prompted by the Holy Spirit to make faith sponsorships for specific, unfunded Antioch Grant requests,” WMM Executive Director, Bishop Talmadge Gardner said. “This created a very sacred moment during our meeting as the Lord did what we could not do. We are indebted to these Conferences, Pastors/Churches, and the generosity of a bequest for helping us respond to these opportunities proactively.”
The nine awarded Antioch Grants are being allocated as follows:
World Missions also recognizes the generosity of the 2024 top giving conferences (see the Four Column Giving Report by Conference) and churches to the Global Outreach Offering. These contributions have proven crucial to the funding of each awarded 2025 Antioch Grant.
