"I'm deeply impressed by the vision, integrity, leadership, and effectiveness of SOS International in training leaders around the world to share the gospel, make disciples of Christ, and plant churches. The results speak for themselves as local and regional leaders continue to successfully advance the cause of Christ in some of the most challenging parts of the world, and at great personal sacrifice. I'm happy to provide my endorsement of SOS International."

"SOS International is a Great Commission ministry equipping pastors and leaders to fulfill God's assignment in their lives.  I'm very confident in the SOS leaders who are faithfully linking teachers and learners across cultures and communities for the glory of God.  My experience with the ministry has been very positive."

Gary L. McIntosh, Ph.D., Writer, Speaker, Professor

“It’s my joy to recommend SOS International. To my knowledge, no organization has done so much to train and empower church leaders throughout the world in the last decade. Dr. Rich Frazer and his team have conducted themselves with excellence, honor, and respect. SOS International has developed a strong reputation for delivering contextually appropriate training throughout the world.”

Dr. Gil Stieglitz, President of Principles to Live By and Adult Ministry Pastor at Bayside Church, Granite Bay, CA.

“I am excited to support the ministry of SOS International as it works around the world with Christian leaders and Pastors.  The work of helping the under-resourced has such a huge impact.  This is a vital and exciting ministry of equipping local leaders with the tools they need to follow Christ at new levels.  I have personally been so touched by how the various leaders that SOS International has helped have multiplied my ministry and changed the lives of so many in various parts of the world.”

Rev. Jerome Daley, Executive Co-Director of The Vining Center

“In my experience, the culture of SOS International can be defined by a single word: generosity. SOS International is a giver, an encourager, and an equipper. We are blessed to support their work in leadership development and humanitarian aid around the world!”
