Continents For Christ (CFC) was officially launched in 2008 by Pastor Chris Ward, who is a current CFC missionary today.  After many years in law enforcement, Chris felt God call him to ministry.  He decided to go to Bible college at Seattle Bible College in Everett, WA.  After he finished his degree, Chris was a pastor in the Seattle area with a passion for reaching inner city youth and gangs in particular.  Out of nowhere, one evening in his apartment, Chris heard the audible voice of God twice.  He heard the name "Continents For Christ' and then proceeded to go to his office to write down the vision of ministry that God had suddenly given him.  From there, CFC began its journey.

CFC's early years were predominantly spent in rural East Africa, specifically in Uganda and Tanzania.  CFC became focused on impacting rural villages in Africa and Asia, specifically training village pastors who do not have Bible or ministry training.  As a ministry, our goal was to go to communities where other ministries do not go.  Over the years, CFC has also conducted many short-term ministry trips, crusades, Bible distribution programs, and other community development programs.  At one point, CFC even had a small Bible college in the Mwanza, Tanzania area.  Where CFC ministers has changed over the years.  Initially starting in East Africa, CFC has also ministered regularly in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.

In 2023, CFC officially broadened our mission beyond reaching villages and village pastors in the developing world.  While this is an important calling, we recognize that not everyone is called to this ministry, and we felt led to broaden our vision to incorporate other mission callings.  CFC is now predominantly focused on training, sending, and pastoring independent missionaries around the world.
