OUR STORY

In September of 2000, the Hatmachers and Hendersons met in Sanford, North Carolina to discuss the possibility of starting a mission agency exclusively dedicated to taking pastors and churches on short term mission trips.  After many months of research, prayer and legal advice, Churches In Missions became a reality and incorporated June 2001 in North Carolina.  Churches In Missions, Inc. is a 501 c3 nonprofit religious organization.

EARLY DAYS

Paul Hatmacher served as president, Larry Henderson as vice president and CEO with their wives, Barbara and Bea doing the accountant work and correspondences.  In order to get started, Larry personally met with all his supporting churches and pastors to explain the ministry of Churches In Missions and encouraged them to use CiM to take a mission trip.   Pastor Rick Flowers of First Baptist Church of Flint, Michigan accepted the challenge and lead his church on CiM’s first mission trip to Northeast Brazil.  

ABUNDANT SPIRITUAL FRUIT

In 18 years, CiM has facilitated over 250 mission trips, witnessed over 20,000 people accept Christ as Savior, helped to build to completion 14 churches and conducted over 150 Pastor Care Seminars.
