Ministries
These ministries are grouped into spiritual, developmental and leadership ministries. The first four are spiritual ministries, the next six are for development peace building, and the last one is for leadership of the ministry, which includes governance, administration and management of all the ministries. We pray that God will push us faster and further than we have planned, beyond the places we have reached so far, to do more than we could ever imagine. To God be the glory.

The purpose of MOM is the Worship of the Living God and intercession for missions and nations. We aim at engaging ourselves and teaching people to praise, worship and adore the Living God while also praying for the Church, Missions and Nations.
MOM establishes prayer centers in different communities and countries. Currently, Mizeituni Adoration and Worship Center (MAWC) is established with more than 500 prayer warriors meeting twice a week to worship and fellowship.
This center serves as the the RIM Hub for Central Africa Missions and Sustainable Development.
We have also established twelve of twenty five planned prayer centers in Minembwe, D.R. Congo. However, some of these centers were destroyed by the wars.
We would like to establish such Prayer Centers in all the countries of our operations.

The purpose of this ministry is to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ across national, cultural, and linguistic borders and assist existing churches in building on the foundation of Christ. This is the core ministry for initial church planting. It works to identify unreached areas, and to recognize people called for missions. It recruits, trains, sends them to the unreached places, and follows up with continued support. This ministry plants native churches, entrust them to natives who are mature in the faith, and equipped to lead. The hope at the center of each church plant is that they would reach out to the surrounding people groups. This ministry also works with existing churches to empower them for missions and sustainable development.

The purpose of Release International Mission planted churches is to provide properly discipled believers. What makes Release churches different is that they are connected to a network that exists on a local level as well as a national level. The network offers contextual support to the individual communities while maintaining alignment to the calling of the Gospel and the Great Commission. Initially, a few churches are planted in the target countries, with the charge of reaching the unreached communities around them. So far, RIM has planted 22 churches in Kenya, Canada, US, and Australia with more than 50 churches planted by members of RIM churches.

Building off that experience, Release Education Ministry (REM) deals mainly with educational institutions and capacity building programs. Some of the institutions that REM is planning to establish include:
Release Group of Schools: These are primary and secondary schools that will be established in different countries.
Release Higher Education Institutions: They include Release University of Minembge (RUM), Release University of Hargeisa (RUH).
Technical Vocational and Educational Training Institutions (TVETs): There is need of skills to do work. One day in class for life time work.

May the Lord God make these dreams realities.

That peace will pave way for development and well-being of the people and nations.
