After 10 years, Encounter Ministries is bringing the power of the Gospel to more nations—equipping leaders, transforming communities, and demonstrating God’s love through signs and wonders.
Today, the need is growing rapidly.
Parishes are asking for formation. Nations are asking for training. Leaders are asking to be equipped.
We believe the Lord is calling us to respond—with faith and boldness.
We see a future where leaders are formed and sent into every nation, where this mission is sustained through regional leadership, multiplying campuses, and formation available across languages and cultures.
This is not about building an organization. This is about building the Kingdom of God.
Your gift helps make this possible.

about & history of encounter ministries
raising up disciples to do “do the works of Jesus and greater works” (Jn 14:12)
Founded in 2016 by Fr. Mathias Thelen & Patrick Reis after profound experiences with Christ in the Eucharist, Encounter Ministries has spread globally. We exist to unleash the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in the world through teaching, equipping, and activating disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. Drawing from the richness of our Catholic heritage and in conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer the Encounter School of Ministry, dynamic conferences, training events, and media to provide the best opportunities possible to empower disciples to love like Jesus.
