Abba Heart Ministries · Eric & Kameron Swithin
Abba Heart Ministries exists to spread the Gospel in the darkest places on earth through word and deed—to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ.
And they will proclaim My glory among the nations.
Isaiah 66:19
The name “Abba Heart” expresses the ministry's desired character: the compassionate heart of the Father toward orphans, the poor, the sick, the displaced, and those living in spiritual darkness. Our call is to translate the love of Abba Father to a dying world.
To multiply movements by preparing the neglected and spiritually resistant land to receive the transforming love of Jesus — partnering with local pastors and producing mature disciples and healthy churches, all for the glory of God.
Abba Heart Ministries exists to spread the Gospel in the darkest places on earth through word and deed—to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ.
Hosea 10:12 and Jeremiah 4:3 call us to prepare soil, seek righteousness, and refuse to sow among thorns — cultivating conditions in which the Word bears lasting fruit.
Two expressions of one calling: direct, relational work in difficult places — and books, films, events, and support that carry the message far beyond our field presence.
Presence, service, trust, local ownership, and multiplication — resisting dependency and celebrity-driven ministry.
Lessons, stories, and training from the field reaching wider audiences, and a platform for collaboration and resourcing.

After a decade in youth ministry and fatherless ministry, Eric and Kameron Swithin felt called to expand the scope of their work: to share the Gospel as far and wide as possible, and to raise up the next generation of ministers.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit.
