What is Muniak Family Ministry about?
Our Ministry
We are a family who ministers in the Tri-state area. We share the gospel and seek to equip and encourage other believers to get out and share the gospel. We have had this desire for the past 5 years.
"And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." - Mark 16:15
Some are called to go to China. Some to Africa. God has called us to proclaim Him here in the tri-state area

Our Future
What are our ministry goals?
- To reach the lost of the Cincinnati Tri-State area through various evangelism efforts.
- To disciple those who come to saving faith through our evangelism effort, teaching them basics of the faith and biblical evangelism
- To equip and encourage the saints of the tri-state area to be bold witnesses for Jesus Christ
What could we do if we went full-time? What would full-time ministry for us look like?
- More time spent on our radio shows, making them better and perhaps longer
- Additional radio/podcast programming
- More time to spend on campus ministering to a humanistic generation that is gospel ignorant
- More opportunities to teach others how to share their faith through one day courses or conferences
- More time hitting the streets with the gospel. (Many outreaches we currently do have time constraints due to work schedule)
- More time for follow-up and discipleship.
- More resources could be developed through our ministry to equip others to share their faith
- More abortion outreaches and pregnancy counsel
Why do we need to be out there more? Isn’t once a week or a couple times a week enough?
The need for American missionaries is great.

Increase in persecution
- People losing their jobs/being prosecuted for refusing to compromise on their views regarding gay marriage
- Scientists and professors can lose their jobs for daring to question darwin’s theory of evolution
-
Increase in secular humanism
- Recent poll says atheism is up especially with millenials (those born in the 90s and early 2000s) while complete faith in a Creator is at an all time low http://www.inquisitr.com/2539980/atheist-beliefs-in-america-2015-pew-poll-atheism-religion-spiritual-church/
-
Abandonment of God’s commands
- Sexual Immorality is celebrated, flaunted everywhere
- God is being removed from everywhere – public areas, schools, workplace
- Abortion is rampant and some would love to make it more available to women
-
The laborers are few ( Matthew 9:37-38, Romans 10:10- )
- Church increasing in immorality
- Indifference to the plight of the lost, no desire to step out of their comfort zone
- Even some who are out preaching are preaching the wrong message (JWs, Mormons, Westboro, etc)
