MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT:Cadence International

Cadence International began in 1954 as an evangelical missions agency that ministers to members of the United States military and their families through a number of programs and means, such as open-house ministries, on-base coffee houses, youth programs, after-school clubs for children, evangelistic events, and retreat ministries. 

Cadence International has grown to more than 200 full-time staff, working in about 60 locations worldwide and serving all branches of the military.

The ministry has a significant presence in Japan, and has therefore created “Cadence Japan.” It also has projects in Europe and Asia.

Cadence International desires to create a “home away from home” environment where families can feel connected through a welcoming hospitality environment and feel safe to pray, study, worship, connect and minister to one another. Through the ministry’s programs, families can build relationships and community. Especially during holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Cadence provides opportunities for fellowship and a home-type environment for those not able to spend that time with extended family.

Cadence International’s ministry philosophy can be summed up in 1 Thessalonians 2:8: “Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.”
