Our story.
Abba Heart Ministries was birthed out of a desperate desire and calling to make Abba Father's love known to the least, last, and lost. He is a loving and perfect Father.
Abba Heart Ministries was birthed out of a desperate desire and calling to make Abba Father's love known to the least, last, and lost. He is a loving and perfect Father. We do this in two ways:
1. In the Trenches: direct, relational work in difficult places—serving, demonstrating love, raising leaders, and developing disciple-makers.
2. Casting a Wide Net: through books, films, events, and support for other ministries, we travel beyond the ministry's direct field presence.
Abba Heart Ministries is a Christ-centered ministry called to serve in spiritually and materially difficult environments—especially “unplowed ground,” neglected communities, and places where the Gospel has not been meaningfully embodied. The ministry's approach begins with visible, practical love and trusted presence. We feed the hungry, provide clean water to the thirsty, free slaves, care for orphans, tend to the needs of the sick and rescue the vulnerable from the grips of oppression.
Then we move toward Gospel proclamation, discipleship, leadership development and church planting. In other words, we earn the right to share the gospel by proving our love through physical manifestations of God's love.
Eric Swithin is a filmmaker, speaker, and disciple-maker who has spent over two decades reaching the broken and forgotten. With Kameron by his side, they've built Abba Heart Ministries on prayer, obedience, and radical faith. Together they've launched movements, built communities of believers, and created powerful media like the Show Me Your Glory movie and book.
We go where others won't.

We tell stories that shake souls.

Abba means Father.
“Abba” means Father — the intimate, holy name Jesus used when crying out to God. Everything we do flows from this revelation: we are sons and daughters, loved by the Father, and sent to share that love with the world.
Abba Heart Ministries isn't a brand — it's a family. And you're invited to be part of it.
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.
Rooted in abiding in the Lord, as described in John 15:1–8.
Revival begins with a return to simple, profound truths.
Christ before Christianity
…because following a person is different than fitting in to an institution.
Continually seeking, hearing, and obeying
…because seeking God, hearing His voice, and obeying Him is our greatest calling and where true satisfaction is found.
We must decrease, He must increase
…because God's glory is of primary importance — not our comfort, our agenda, or our desires.
Bible over culture
…because God has spoken, is speaking, and will speak in and through His Word. We are committed to remaining faithful to His Word in all that we think, say, and do — no matter what is popular or unpopular.
In the world but not of it
…because all people need Jesus, we will go into dark places and dark spaces in order to win the lost. Our goal is to develop relationships through which people come to know Jesus and grow in their life with Him.
Cooperation over competition
…because we value community collaboration in all areas of ministry.
Excellence in all things
…because the quality and creativity of our work is a reflection of God and is done for God.
Integrity in all things
…because holy character honors God and allows us to engage in our mission without compromising our testimony.
Put the Father's love on display.
Every gift goes toward sharing the Gospel, training and sending disciples, and serving the least, last, and lost.
