Ordinary people, called to extraordinary obedience.


ὅπλον (hoplon) — a tool, an implement, a weapon.

Hoplon is an international missions organization of Christian men of action. We go to places of crisis, conflict, and desperation, forming lasting relationships with local believers who share our passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Together, we help them build lasting impact in their own communities through Gospel missions, medical missions, orphan care, discipleship, education, and farming.

That work now spans three regions. In East Africa — South Sudan — we are confronting an orphan epidemic born of decades of war, and a food crisis driven by conflict, flooding, and broken infrastructure. In West Africa —Nigeria — we are aiding our Christian brothers and sisters who are being persecuted on a massive scale. In Southeast Asia —Burma— standing alongside the suffering people navigating their own decades of civil war and displacement. There we serve through medical missions on the front lines and Gospel programs in the IDP camps.

Hoplon relies entirely on donor support as we act as the hands and feet of Jesus in some of the most difficult and dangerous places on earth. Partners who share our passion for loving those in need, fund every part of our mission: medical equipment, vehicles, building materials, Bibles, educational curricula, feeding programs, well drilling, and more.

"Do not go on presenting the parts of your body to sin as instruments (ὅπλον) of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your body's parts as instruments (ὅπλον) of righteousness for God." ‍ ‍

—Romans 6:13

We are dedicated to spreading the good news of Jesus Christ, so that people may be reconciled back to Him. Our mission is to give hope to those in desperation and enable them to provide for their own needs, to affect true, lasting change. We aim to aid and equip those around the world who are called to these same purposes.
