Christ Is The Answer Ministries
CITA stands behind local missionaries and churches who share the Gospel with their own neighbors — in word, in practical care, and for as long as it takes.
We believe Jesus Christ is the answer to humanity’s deepest need. Not as a slogan — as a life lived next door. So we look for the people who already live there, prepare them, equip them and stand behind them for as long as it takes.
Believers already trusted in their own community.
Missionary and Bible schools in Ethiopia and India.
Eye care, food, media and church-planting tools.
Spiritual, moral and material support — so they can stay.
Where we serve
Four places where the model is published in detail — and the 31 other countries where local believers carry the same work.
01 Ukraine · since 2014
CITA was formally founded in Ukraine in 2014. A church and media center in Rivne followed in 2016, with the first eye clinic, and a Kyiv branch in 2020. Ukrainian regional leaders now carry the work in the west, east and south.
02 Ethiopia · since 2021
A media center in Addis Ababa and a missionary school preparing Ethiopian believers to teach and lead. The churches that followed were planted with local missionaries: 13 by 2023, 51 by the end of 2025.
No photographs, places or names — by design.
03 India · since 2022
Graduates of the Bible school CITA opened in September 2022 had planted three churches by the first half of 2024 — led by Indian believers, not by teams sent from abroad. Locations stay unpublished, for the safety of local workers.

Tools are named only where CITA publishes them — so far for 5 of the 35 countries.
Four ministry tools
Each tool is delivered by people who already know the community and remain responsible for what follows. Sponsor one, or ask to use it in your own field.
Eye examinations and glasses from a team the community knows.
Meals and food packages carried by churches that stay in touch.
Newspapers, film and broadcasts in the language of home.
Training and long-term support for congregations that last.
Field stories
Every story here is published by CITA, and each one links to its page. People are named only with their consent.
Kenya · Mombasa · since 2020
Mombasa is a hard place to grow up. Rather than run visits, Zamu Mission built a presence: Happy & Holy, a three-month course, meets more than 250 secondary school students every week, beside home groups, children’s camps and work with women and families. The most lasting work is the quietest — training local ministers who will still be there long after any visiting team has gone.
Ukraine · 2005–2014
Educational lectures in the Luhansk region in 2005, the first “Christ is the answer” newspaper and calendars in 2008, and a ministry formally founded in 2014.
Ethiopia · 2021–2025
A media center and the first mission trip in 2021, 13 churches by 2023 and 51 by the end of 2025 — each planted with local missionaries.
35 countries · 2022–2026
Eleven countries in 2022, twenty in 2023, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea in 2024 — and 35 countries listed today.

Our part is to find the people God has already placed in a community, prepare them and stand behind them. They carry the work — we make sure they never carry it alone.
Ministry director Christ Is The Answer Ministries
To love is to serve. That is why we stay — a church, a clinic, a newspaper, and the local people who keep them going long after any visit ends.

Give
Monthly gifts give local teams something they can plan around. Project gifts go to the work you choose, with reporting that names the period and the source.
We hand out the “Christ is the answer” newspaper on our own streets. People take it home, read it, and some come to church with their questions.
We fund work that is led locally. In Ethiopia the churches are planted by Ethiopian missionaries — the model we wanted to stand behind.
Giving monthly means the local team can plan ahead. I know my gift goes to people who live where they serve.
We sponsor vision care because the exam is only the start. The team that fits the glasses lives in the same town and is still there next month.
Partner with us
Ask who leads the work, how it is checked and what a partnership looks like. Write for yourself or on someone’s behalf — as a spouse, pastor, advisor or foundation. No commitment is expected.
