Our History

The concept of International Messengers (IM) actually took place in the mind and heart of Robert Rasmusson in 1980. It was four years later when God opened the doors for this new missions organization to be born as a branch of Oak Hills Fellowship in Bemidji, Minnesota. IM became an independent, nonprofit mission organization in 1989. The offices were moved to Clear Lake, Iowa, in 1992.

Our Mission

International Messengers is an evangelical interdenominational missions organization comprised of an international staff team. We are committed to making disciples of all nations through partnering with local churches to renew, train and mobilize believers for active involvement in reaching the world for Christ. We see ourselves as partners with the local church to equip and send people into the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Our Values

We believe that the spiritual revival of the Church is a primary key to effectively reaching this world with the love of Christ. We are committed to serving the local church, helping her move towards renewal, and then to again envision her central role in spreading the Gospel locally and globally. We see ourselves as partners with the local church to equip and send people into the world with the truth of Jesus Christ.

What We Do

International Messengers has approximately 285 missionaries serving in more than 25 countries; more than half of our staff are foreign nationals. Career missionaries with IM focus on relational evangelism and discipleship, serving the local church through their various ministries. Missionaries are encourage to follow God’s leading in the development of their personal ministries, and are therefore involved in a very wide range of ministry opportunities.

Short-term ministries continue to be an effective tool for sharing the Gospel in many places around the world. Teams of diverse ages and backgrounds join together to build international friendships and share the Gospel overseas. Many of the teams are sent from their local church and serve for two weeks during the winter, spring or summer. There are also teams comprised of individuals from various locations across North America. IM handles all the arrangements and provides the materials and training for each team. IM typically sends 20-25 teams per year to do English language outreaches. There are also short-term opportunities to do ministry through hiking and sports camps, motorcycles and horses, VBS and children’s clubs, as well as through construction and service projects, just to name a few.
