Be a Sender

"Senders" financially support those who serve
in remote places to spread the love of Jesus.
They are the backbone of our organization!

What are XMA Senders?

Not every Christian can go on an XMA trip, but all are called to fulfill the Great Commission. Paul in Romans 10:14 asks us three questions:

1. How can they call on the one they have not believed in?
2. How can they believe in the one they have not heard?
3. How can they hear without someone preaching to them?

That's why we need Senders -- people like you who support Goers. As an XMA Sender you are truly a partner in everything we do, a co-worker alongside every XMA volunteer as they serve the unreached in Christ's name. We simply cannot be Goers if we do not have Senders backing us with prayer and financial support!

For every XMA Goer sent:

1+
comes to know Christ

7
receive God's word

10+
receive medical, dental,
or eye care

8
are discipled

17
see an evangelistic film

41
are served

Want to support a specific missionary as they venture out to the unreached people? Below are our trip leaders and in-country missionaries who are currently in the field. They have sacrificed careers and comforts in order to prioritize the mission of the Gospel. Through your financial support, they are equipped to be part of God's work. You supply the "fish and loaves," and God will multiply!

*Protecting the identities of our missionaries is vital to their ministry and safety. For this reason, some of them are turned away in their photo!

Rebeca

Rebeca is the oldest daughter of Osmany and Jennifer Hernandez, longtime XMA staff members working in Honduras. Rebeca recently graduated from high school and has been called to missions herself. She is currently pursuing a degree in education through Liberty University’s online program. In addition to this, she is working fulltime at Tiny Hope Primary Christian School in Siguatepeque where she teaches English and art classes to children living in extreme poverty. Working in partnership with XMA will allow her to focus on the work God has called her to do at Tiny Hope as well as her own education, while also providing opportunities for her to learn important skills necessary for life in fulltime ministry.

Donate to Rebeca

Your generosity can meet practical needs through XMA’s ongoing ministry projects. Help provide education and medical care, rest and renewal for ministry workers, reading glasses for remote communities, or AudiBibles for those waiting to hear God’s Word in a language they understand. Explore these opportunities and choose where you would like to make a difference.

Blessings to Nations

Blessing all of the Nations of the World through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are on a mission to see the lives of those in Pane, Honduras holistically transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are seeing community transformation and global impact through our three primary projects:

The New Life Project provides after school educational and life skills training to children and families in Honduras. Each year nearly 100 students take part in this initiative. We are seeking 100 partners to give $40 per month to support this project.

The Bethesda Clinic is the medical arm of our ministry. As we seek to provide holistic care to our community, these medical and dental services are vital to our citizens and our mission. We are seeking 15 partners to give $100 per month to support this project.

The Intercultural Mission School in Honduras is our newest project. This program seeks to prepare missionaries from Honduras to take the Gospel into their country, and throughout the Globe. We are seeking 40 partners to give $75 per month to support this project.

Tributary Retreat Center

Triutary Retreat Center

XMA is partnering with Tributary Retreat Center in the mountains of North Arkansas, a 175-acre haven offering free retreats, coaching, and spiritual care for missionaries, pastors, and ministry workers. With seven family cabins, RV hookups, hotel-style rooms, and shared spaces like The Hub, Tributary provides a peaceful setting for those who serve others—but maintaining and improving these facilities requires ongoing work. We’re seeking volunteers and donations to help with repairs, maintenance, and building projects.

ReVitaleyes

Bringing reading glasses to remote villages may seem like a small thing. But reading glasses mean improved quality of life, improved finances, and improved well-being — for the person who gets the glasses and their whole family.

“Approximately 500 million people in developing countries are visually impaired because they do not have access to reading glasses. For these people eyeglasses often are either inaccessible or unaffordable.” - World Health Organization

“Visual impairment is more than a health problem. It has economic, educational, and public safety implications. For example, in Tanzania 71% of people are farsighted and are dissatisfied with their ability to do near work such as winnowing grain, sewing, reading, and cooking food. But only 6% of the people in Tanzania who are farsighted have eyeglasses.” - RestoringVision.org

These are astounding facts! Half a billion people cannot see to take care of themselves and their families simply because they do not have reading glasses. This brings to mind the story of blind Bartimaeus in the three synoptic Gospels. Bartimaeus was reduced to sitting beside the road begging simply because he could not see. The crowd told him to keep quiet and not cause a ruckus but Jesus had compassion on him, restored his vision, revitalized his life.

As we see from Jesus’ life meeting physical needs often opens the heart and mind to spiritual needs. Sharing the Good News is an integral part of XMA’s ReVitaleyes vision care ministry. Our goal is for all those we serve, like Bartimaeus, to receive their sight, follow Jesus, and praise God.

AudiBibles

“Without serious effort on the part of Christ followers everywhere, a gut-wrenching 1.7 billion people will actually die without even hearing the name Jesus.” Tom Elliff, Past President of the International Mission Board.

Many of these people remain unreached because:
• They are oral peoples–meaning they do not read or write.
• They live in very remote, physically hard-to-reach locations.

The solution is in our hands.

We have in our hands audio recordings of the Gospel in Spanish, Asheninka, Bongay, Dargnuk and dozens of other obscure languages which these unreached people speak.

AudiBibles, solar powered MP3 players, are readily available at reasonable costs. We have teams ready, willing, and able to do whatever it takes to get these AudiBibles to remote, unreached people in Asia, Africa, Central and South America.

You can give them God’s Word.

Thanks to partners like you, XMA has distributed thousands of Gospel literature packs including AudiBibles, Jesus Film DVDs and/or printed literature. More XMA teams are in the works…but we need your help.

For only $40 you can place an AudiBible, Gospel CD, or DVD into the hands of someone searching for hope. Could you help us share God’s Word with those who are so desperately seeking by sending $120 for three Gospel literature packs? Or $400 to reach ten families with the Good News? Or perhaps $4,000 to blanket a whole remote area with 100 literature packs?

XMA is the only non-profit my family supports, outside of our local church. XMA has done, and will continue to do, great work around the world.

My schedule doesn’t allow me to get in the field, however, I am grateful that I am able to support the mission through extreme missionary adventures. I know many of the employees personally and I am confident in their work to bring people all over the world the Good News. They do amazing work in being the hands and feet. I encourage anyone looking for a great adventure with a greater purpose to check out XMA, or if you are like me and unable to get in the field consider one of the many options they have to support them financially.

XMA is an amazing organization. I've been on 3 mission trips with them and have (and will continue to) supported them financially each year. Their trips are well organized and they provide all the resources /logistics to have an impactful adventure spreading the word of God.
