Our Mission:
To equip churches to bring healing, hope, and lasting change to their communities through God’s Word and prayer.
Our History:
Our founders, Stephen and Tricia Stringer, have spent 25 years working with oral communities to make God’s Word accessible to everyone.
During the Stringer’s time on the mission field, they’ve met experts in orality, church planting, trauma healing, community development, Bible translation, and technology. Some of those experts worked with the Stringers to establish the Multiplying Hope initiative in 2016 and the FIA project in 2023.
In 2025 several of those experts combined their decades of experience, already established partnerships, and ongoing trusted initiatives to create Word Collective.
Today, we work with churches in over 40 countries. Collectively, we’re transforming communities through access to God’s Word.
Our Vision:
God’s Kingdom alive and growing as God’s people live God’s Word.
-
Everything flows from and returns to the centrality of Christ.
-
Transparency, accountability, and integrity are non-negotiable.
-
Relationship is the bedrock of everything we do.
-
God’s people empowered by the Spirit and equipped with God’s Word are the engine that drive everything we do.
-
We serve, not direct churches as they work in their local communities.
-
We nurture faith, health, and skills for the long term.
