Countries We Are Located In

Christians Empowering Organizations Ministries Inc. is one organization helping many. Whether it is feeding the poor, sharing the gospel, educating children, or standing for truth and freedom; CEOM empowers groups and individuals (aka Agencies) to do more of what God has called them to do.

To be an Agency with CEOM, they must be a Christian Group holding to the basic beliefs. See our About page for examples.

Second, their purpose must be to help people, whoever and however that may be (Christian or non-christian).

Third, they must be accountable to CEOM by submitting two reports twice a year: a financial report and a ministry report.

This allows CEOM to follow the proper CRA guidelines according to the laws of Canada for Non-Profit-Organizations.

Basically, we help people help people and we do so ethically, legally, and Biblically.

Below are listed CEOM Agencies and what they do.

Agencies of CEO Ministries

Started by Vicki Conley the center is completely run by the participants.

The program lasts 13 months for each student and the life transformations are incredibly powerful.

Haitian children who do not participate in schooling of any form have a higher risk of being exploited into sex trafficking.

Edith Fast Christian School: Directed by Pastor Namphy Telusma with two main buildings: the new kindergarten building and an elementary school.

Hogares Victory (Victory Homes): An evangelism and discipleship program that literally goes into the garbage dumps to carry men out, lead them to Jesus, and disciple them back into society. Pastor Ronni and his team see miraculous results such as healings, restoration, and salvations.

Romania & Ukraine

When Vladimir Putin sent 200,000 soldiers into Ukraine, he assumed he could sweep up the capital in a matter of days and depose the leaders. After a series of humiliating retreats, his initial invasion has clearly failed, but Russia's war is far from over.
