A movement where Christ is named

Cadence International

Prayer & missions · Founded 1954 · by Jesse Miller · Englewood, Colorado, USA

Cadence International is an evangelical mission agency founded in 1954 by Jesse Miller as the Overseas Christian Servicemen's Centers, later renamed Cadence International. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, it is dedicated to reaching United States and foreign military personnel and their families with the good news of Jesus Christ. Through hospitality homes, Bible studies, and personal discipleship near bases around the world, it walks with service members in their faith.

What they do

Cadence International places missionaries near military bases in the United States and overseas, where they open hospitality homes that welcome service members for meals, fellowship, and rest away from base life.

Staff lead Bible studies, retreats, and one to one discipleship for military personnel and their families, sharing the gospel and helping new believers grow in Christ.

The ministry also runs youth and family programs for military communities, walking with people through the unique pressures of deployment, relocation, and service.

The Scripture behind the work

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)
“So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.”
1 Thessalonians 2:8 (KJV)
“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
2 Timothy 2:2 (KJV)

Where the door leads

Cadence International points military members and their families to Jesus Christ through genuine hospitality and steady friendship, sharing the gospel around the dinner table and in daily life. It disciples new believers in the Scriptures. A natural next step is to visit a Cadence hospitality home near a base or connect with a Cadence missionary to study the Bible together.
