In 1990, on our first mission trip to Nigeria, Africa, the Lord spoke to Karen, “Does anyone have compassion or care for my people?” Karen responded, “Lord, I do.” It was then that the Lord spoke to us to give our lives up for the Nations. In 1992, the Lord called us to full missionary work and gave us Ambassadors To the Nations.

Pastors Darey and Karen have been taking mission teams, building churches, schools, medical clinics, and more in Nicaragua, Mexico, Philippines, Cuba, Nigeria, and many other countries. We take to heart the scripture in Psalms 2:8 and try our best to see this come to pass in the lives of the people we work with.

“Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” – Psalms 2:8 (ASV)

“Would you be willing to radically change your lives for the sake of My people?” That was the question the Lord asked Pastors Darey and Karen Jolley twenty years ago. The Jolley’s was willing and agreed to follow God’s plan, and as a result, Ambassadors to the Nations (Ambassadors) was founded in 1992.

Ambassadors is an international mission’s ministry based out of the Jolley’s home church in Charlotte, North Carolina, Freedom Christian Center, Inc. Their missionary work focuses on meeting the most impoverished communities’ physical and spiritual needs in Central America and North America through short-term mission projects.

The Jolley’s have launched in Nicaragua four Pre-school/kindergarten programs through eleventh-grade schools in Nicaragua. The ministry has also established churches and medical clinics.
