CSI Ministries exists to bring people closer to Christ through short-term missions

Bringing people closer to Christ through short-term missions since 1967.

CSI Ministries is a short-term mission organization serving in Jamaica, Belize, the United States, and beyond. We want to see people empowered in their humanity through the local church and we do that through our numerous projects including building homes, providing solutions for those impacted by natural disasters and systemic neglect. As a result, seeing new spiritual life begins with people hearing about their need for Jesus Christ as their Savior.

A Letter from Andy Stout

Executive Director, CSI Ministries

Short-term missions have always been at the heart of CSI. They still are. What’s changing isn’t the method, it’s the way we tell the story.

For over 50 years, CSI has been sending teams to places like Jamaica, Belize, and beyond. I've been part of that journey myself, first as a team member in the early '90s, then as a missionary serving long-term in Belize, and now back here in the U.S., helping lead this work forward. Through all those seasons, one thing has remained true: God uses short-term missions to spark long-term transformation, in communities and in those who go.

This isn't just about a week of service. It’s about discipleship. It’s about walking with local churches, standing shoulder to shoulder with believers in different places, and letting the experience shape the way we live and lead back home. When done well, short-term missions don’t just build things, they build people. They build bridges. They deepen faith.

That’s the story we’re telling more clearly now. Not a different direction, just a deeper one.

So whether you’re a church leader looking for the right mission partnership, a returning team member who’s seen this firsthand, or someone new to CSI, I want to say: you’re part of this story, too. There’s a place for you, through prayer, through giving, through going.

Let’s keep pressing in. Let’s keep showing up. And let’s keep trusting God to use every step, short-term or long, to bring people closer to Christ.

For the Kingdom,
Andy Stout
