New Mission Systems International

New Mission Systems International or NMSI for short is a non-profit international Christian missions organization. Based in Fort Myers, Florida the organization was founded in 1989 by the Brune Family. Ralph and Cheri Brune were long time missionaries for Christian Missions Fellowship when they hatched the idea for a new way to do missions.[1] Each word in the name of the organization represents something vitally important to the organization. New represents the new and changing approach NMSI does evangelism to keep up with a constantly changing world.[2] Mission signifies the central goal for NMSI which is to bring together God with the world and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.[3] Systems is the way they holistically and systematically analyze the countries they go into to find the best way to evangelize the gospel to the people.[4] International represents their belief that all people should be able to hear the gospel no matter where they live. NMSI is founded on the non-denominational church movement and acts according to non-denominational principles.[5]
