Summary
Help for Christian Nationals is an interdenominational, evangelical missionary society which was organized in 1982, the vision of founder, John Jauchen. Jauchen's commitment is to spread the Gospel, primarily through service to Christian national workers with economic and educational assistance, and equipping them to be more effective in reaching their own people for Jesus Christ. Help for Christian Nationals ministers carry this vision throughout the world, to Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, Nicaragua, India, the Philippines, Spain and Russia.
The Words Group is in the planning stages to assist John Jauchen and his work by creating a website and electronic teaching materials based on the Thompson Chain Reference Bible studies that he shares with national pastors.

History
Program accomplishments
- Last year HCN trained 11,000 pastors and Christian workers in the Thompson Chain Study Bible workshops held in Latin America and the Philippines.
- Through these workshops, Christian Workers are equipped and trained to more effectively preach God's Word and reach their own nations for Christ.
- Through the development of national Master Teachers and Coordinators, the workshop ministry is multiplied, enabling the equipping and motivating of more Christian workers to effective ministry.
