Who are we and what do we do?

Fred J. Heumann has been in ministry leadership since 1977 and has pioneered ministries in the US, UK, Latin America, and Ukraine.  He has served local churches in 3 states, sung and spoken in thousands of high schools with Wings of Light, visited 50 nations, been an overseas missionary, and worked in music production, publishing, and technology.  He was also part of the World Leadership Team of Youth for Christ International. Fred is an ordained minister with the Missionary Church with a Master's degree and an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Worship Studies. He and Judie have been married since 1982 and have an adult son, Joel.

Fred founded MusicWorks International in 1993 to support the training and development of church leaders to utilize music well in their worship and in reaching out to others with Good News.  As a ministry focused on musicians and creatives, our work since 2012 has been with the Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary in Kyiv, and the Ukrainian Baptist Theological Seminary in L'viv, teaching students and mentoring church leaders. Together, we have seen hundreds of leaders and their teams come to our seven Music in Worship conferences from across Ukraine.

ServeUkraine is a new fund created to capitalize on our work in Ukraine over these last ten years. Fred has partnered with seminaries, churches, students, and other ministries. Those relational links allow us to uniquely address the current crisis to meet physical, mental, spiritual, and practical needs. We will create innovative solutions to get people the help they need and connect to existing organizations and people on the ground to serve those displaced by this war.

MusicWorks International and ServeUkraine are part of the ACT International family of ministries.

Artists in Christian Testimony International supports and serves a family of 400+ unique ministries by handling financial and other details to free up those ministries to do the work. Incorporated in 1973 with charitable work in 50 countries, contributions made through ACT Intl are tax-deductible.

These partnership connections allow our ministry to focus on the task with fewer staff and greater flexibility.
