02 / About us

Who We Are

BEREA INTERNATIONAL EVANGELICAL & BIBLE STUDY MINISTRY is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious corporation operating entirely through unpaid volunteer service. Founded with a mission to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our organization focuses on supporting Ethiopian, Eritrean, and other immigrant populations in North America and globally. We embrace multiculturalism and inclusivity in all we do.

We believe that strong spiritual foundations equip individuals and families to face the challenges of migration and settlement, and we see ourselves as partners in this journey. Our teaching and support structure adapts to technological realities and community needs, making the message of faith accessible, understandable, and deeply personal.

Sustained only by donations and grants, our ministry remains independent of commercial interests. Integrity, stewardship, and the commitment of volunteers form the core of our service as we continue to reach across borders and cultures, seeking to demonstrate Christ’s love in practical ways.
