IMMEDIATE CONCERN ABOUT THE DISRUPTION(S)

Q: How did all this start?

A: This started when the ANKC Board made demands on the ILT to initiate an outside investigation with respect to allegations by a young missionary against a local church in a foreign country where he is serving. The ILT felt that it did not have authority to investigate a local church but there is a group of local pastors in the city in multiple denominations who are overseeing and who issued a joint statement. They are willing to handle this at a local level in their culture. This core difference kept growing. Eventually, ANKC decided to commission an outside group to gather grievances against the ILT. Mary informed ANKC that they could share the grievances directly with her, with all or part of the ILT, or with our legal counsel. She also offered for the entire ILT to meet with the ANKC Board.

However, ANKC Board voted to leave the All Nations family.

The following is a link to a message shared on June 15, 2026 by Dr. Mary Ho and the All Nations International Leadership Team and Board: https://tinyurl.com/3xhm223k

Q: What is the report ANKC has commissioned?

A: We understand that a number of ANKC workers had concerns about a particular church and pastor on the field in another country. While debriefing with field workers and helping them process their experience is a valuable exercise, we are concerned about how this was reported.

The complaints are published publicly online, but the complainants are anonymous. ANI disagrees that it is wise or just to publish allegations in this way, particularly when the allegations have not been taken to the spiritual leaders responsible in the situation or tested by them.

Q: Why has ANI or ILT not had an accountability board until now?

A: In our organization’s past, the structure was fairly informal. As we’ve grown, we’ve seen the need for more structure and accountability.

Q: Do hubs and ministries have the ability to cut ties and take with them fieldworkers who want to also go and All Nations-owned processes and training endeavors?

A: As to whether individuals, hubs and ministries can cut ties, of course they can in any organization. And workers who want to go are free to do so. They cannot necessarily take All Nations resources with them, however.

Q: Has the ANKC Board endeavored to truly do as Matthew 18 and 1 Timothy 5:19 instructs?

A: 1 Timothy 5:19 doesn’t work if Matthew 18 has not been followed. It’s both/and, not either/or. To our knowledge, none of the anonymous individuals referenced in the survey summary have ever gone to the accused or to the local pastoral council who made themselves available as third-party ministers.

Also, All Nations leadership has not received any complaint or grievance from anyone in our organization or outside our organization. During this process, we invited ANKC leaders and anyone else to submit complaints either to the ILT or to our legal counsel, who could assist in making sure that people accused are not involved in responding to allegations and that a fair process happens. Now that the ILT is under the ANI Board, the Board is also able to receive allegations.

The ANKC Board wanted to talk to Mary without ILT members present, but only with a third- party present recording the interview, and they wanted Mary to commit to “collaborate” with them. ANKC Board has refused to let the ILT know what the complaints are unless ANKC controls the process. This oversteps the authority of ANKC and undermines the leadership and authority of All Nations International, and is not an appropriate way to proceed. ANKC cannot take spiritual and legal authority over ANI.

Q: Tell us about the lines of authority within All Nations.

A: The current structure of authority is that the ANI Board sets the vision and supervises Mary, who is the International Executive Director. Mary’s team is the International Leadership Team. The ILT team supervises regional areas, hubs, and national leaders that report to it. Workers on the field report to the national leaders on the field. If they also belong to a hub (perhaps in a different country), they also report to their hub.

Q: Who owns the organization name, All Nations?

A: The original ALL NATIONS trademark owners were Floyd and Sally McClung, who began using the ALL NATIONS trademark as early as 1993. Until Floyd’s passing, Floyd and Sally allowed ANKC, ANI, and all the All Nations’ Hubs to use the ALL NATIONS trademark by way of an implied trademark license – an informal, unwritten agreement granting the right to use the ALL NATIONS trademark. When Floyd passed, Sally became the sole owner of the ALL NATIONS trademark and formally assigned the ALL NATIONS trademark to ANI effective January 2026. ANI is now the owner of the ALL NATIONS trademark, which it has continued to allow the All Nations’ Hubs to use through an implied trademark license. When ANKC announced its separation from All Nations, ANI formally revoked ANKC’s implied trademark license to use the ALL NATIONS trademark, because ANKC chose to no longer be a part of All 3 www.allnations.international Nations. ANI’s IP attorney is now working with ANKC’s IP attorney to transition ANKC from the use of the ALL NATIONS trademark and all other ANI intellectual property.

Q: What is Sally McClung’s position in all this?

A: Sally is fully in favor of the new accountability structures and grievance policy. She has sent personal communication to the ANKC leader as well, attempting to course-correct in this disruption. However, ANKC’s hub leader and its board have not accepted her leadership either.

Sally McClung has shared her desires with the separating group and graciously encouraged ANKC to create its own organization and story. See the link here to view what Sally McClung shared with the separating group on June 27, 2026.

Q: Are people leaving All Nations?

A: Yes, some people are, including the Kansas City Hub and ten individuals from the Hamburg hub left. As with many growing global organizations, leadership transitions and organizational changes occasionally occur. All Nations International continues to operate under its established governance and leadership structures, and our mission, field ministries, partnerships, and global initiatives remain strong and fully operational. We remain focused on serving the Church and advancing the Gospel among the nations.

Q: Who is now leading All Nations?

A: Mary Ho remains the executive international leader of All Nations. The ANKC Board has broken off ties with All Nations International and the International Leadership Team. Meredith Johnson will be leading ANKC, but Mary remains the leader of ANI and the global All Nations family. (Before his death, our Founder Floyd McClung announced publicly in 2015 that Mary Ho would be the new International leader. She had to step into this role sooner than expected when our beloved founder became ill.)

Q: What and why is it happening?

A: The impetus for the division appears to be philosophical issues about approaches to grievances, which are explained more fully in our public statement. Beyond that, we do not know. However, we can say that All Nations’ goals, vision, mission, and its global team and fieldworkers remain true.

Q: Is All Nations in trouble?

A: No. All Nations continues to operate under the oversight of its Board of Directors and International Leadership Team. Our field ministries, partnerships, training initiatives, and global operations continue uninterrupted. ANI was already at work reforming and enhancing its structure and is using the opportunity to make additional improvements to its structure and international processes and work.

Q: Is the organization splitting?

A: All Nations International remains intact and continues to operate under its established governance structure. The ANKC Board has chosen to depart from All Nations International. While some individuals may choose to pursue ministry opportunities outside the organization, All Nations continues to move forward as a unified global ministry.

Q: Are missionaries or fieldworkers being affected?

A: We love our fieldworkers and they remain supported through established All Nations structures and leadership. While some transitions will likely be required, ministry efforts continue as normal and we will try to make sure that fieldworkers are not disrupted.

Q: Did leadership see this coming?

A: As the organization has grown globally, the leadership and the Board recognized the need for greater clarity regarding governance, accountability, and organizational alignment. A restructuring process was already underway before these recent developments emerged. ANKC Board’s concerns were under discussion, but All Nations International was not aware of their plans for departure.

Q: Is this departure related to the restructuring?

A: No. The restructuring initiative was developed as part of a broader effort to strengthen the organization for future growth and effectiveness. It was already in progress before the current situation arose. But we are using the concerns raised as an impetus for improving ANI and how we respond, particularly to grievances.

Q: Why can’t everyone just work it out?

A: We have made sincere efforts toward dialogue and mutual understanding. While we continue to desire healthy relationships, there remain significant differences regarding governance and organizational alignment. At times, philosophical differences and differences of conscience mean that people go their separate ways. However, we pray for God’s blessing on our brothers and sisters.

Q: What should I do if someone contacts me about these issues?

A: We encourage everyone to seek information directly from authorized All Nations International Leaders and Board of Directors and to avoid speculation or spreading incomplete information.

TEAM MEMBERS AND FIELDWORKERS

Q1: If we move from being a fieldworker under the current ANKC leaders, will we have the care we need as workers?

A: We are putting into place a globally-relevant network of care. We are trusting God as we work to establish the right way to approach care for each person.

Q: What is the plan for addressing care of fieldworkers?

A: The International Leadership Team is putting together a network of care as a resource to the hubs and our fieldworkers. This will bring a much-needed globally-relevant oversight and perspective in care, training, fundraising training, coaching, debriefing and more.

Q: If someone leaves, can they take teams, fieldworkers, donors, or ministry programs with them?

A: Individuals are free to pursue the ministry direction to which he/she believes God is calling them. We hope to resolve practical questions in a peaceable way, consistent with the Scripture.

PARTNERS

Q: Are donors’ gifts safe?

A: Yes. All Nations remains committed to responsible stewardship, financial accountability, and the proper use of funds entrusted to the ministry. In addition, we are confident that the ANKC Board will also exercise similar responsible stewardship.

Q: Should I continue supporting All Nations?

A: Absolutely. Our mission remains unchanged, our leadership remains in place, and our ministry efforts continue around the world.

Q: What are you asking supporters to do?

A: Pray for wisdom, unity, grace, and God’s guidance for everyone involved. Continue supporting the mission and remain focused on advancing the Gospel among all peoples.

LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE & ACCOUNTABILITY

Q: Do the hubs and ministries report to the ILT leaders? What has changed in the leadership and accountability structure?

A: Yes. The current structure of authority is that the All Nations International (ANI) Board sets the vision and supervises Mary, who is the International Executive Director of the global organization. Mary’s team is the International Leadership Team (ILT). The ILT team supervises regional areas, hubs, and national leaders that report to it. Workers on the field report to the national leaders on the field. If they also belong to a hub (perhaps in a different country), they also report to their hub.

In our organization’s past, the structure was fairly informal. To reinforce global leadership continuity, All Nations Founder Floyd McClung named Mary Ho as the new international leader per his desire to have her oversee the global organization and each hub and all global efforts. She then worked to establish an international leadership process, structure, and board. Each fieldworker and team member has both the blessing and a responsibility to know the global leadership and hub leaders and receive input, direction, and guidance throughout his/her tenure with All Nations. As we’ve grown, we’ve seen the need for more structure and accountability, which is the reason for the ANI Board’s new role and some of our new processes and policies.

Q: If someone is a leader of a hub or ministry (i.e. Wilson, Jonathon, Juergen), and they also happen to be a member of the ILT, how does accountability and oversight function from a practical perspective?

A: If someone is in two roles, they are accountable in both roles, as ILT leaders and hub or ministry leaders. The scope of their responsibilities would be somewhat different in each role—for the ILT, helping to lead the entire organization, and for their hub or ministry, making sure that is led well. In the ILT role, they are accountable to Mary and ultimately the ANI Board. In their ministry leadership role, they are accountable to the ILT. If a conflict of interest arises at any point, there may be ILT decisions they must recuse from, but there is no inherent problem in having two roles.

Our new grievance process defines how a complaint against a leader and/or an ILT member would work. In the case of a person with two roles, the process would depend on which role was being complained about. But the person would be recused from any decisions and responses related to that particular complaint. That is why our grievance policy has identified Amber Grainger as the Grievance Officer.

Q: Can we expect to hear with more regularity from global leadership (not just hub leadership) so we understand global initiatives and our role in the whole organization?

A: Yes, we will increase direct communication to each team member / fieldworker. In the past, the hub leaders were responsible to share key leadership communication, but we have come to understand that there was a gap in the communication that we are shoring up. We want to communicate more with you, and we want to be positioned to hear your concerns as well.

We are grateful that people choose to be in All Nations because the organization is known worldwide. Fieldworkers come to All Nations and attend our CPx training primarily for the longstanding history. We are incredibly blessed to be respected by global missions and ministry organizations and leaders. All Nations was built from the ground up by our Founders and has been further developed and sustained by Mary Ho, Juergen Kramer and many others. When individuals partner with All Nations, they do so because they see the God-legacy, heritage, spiritual authority, operational structure, and protection created over decades of faithfulness. It is up to each individual to do his/her part to live and work in a way that honors Jesus. The rules and boundaries that we are discussing are meant for our protection and long-term health as an organization and as individuals. We are also in a growth process as we improve our structures, and we thank you for your patience, feedback, and participation.

GRIEVANCES

Q: What is Conflict of Interest?

A: conflict of interest exists when an individual’s personal, financial, familial, or other outside interests may influence, or appear to influence, the impartial performance of their duties or decisions on behalf of the organization.

Q: When does it occur and when doesn’t it occur?

A: conflict of interest could include voting on your own salary, supervising your own spouse, or investigating your own decision.

Q: Culturally, how do we consider abuse or spiritual abuse? So much can be misunderstood.

A: All Nations International will work both with widely accepted definitions of abuse and spiritual abuse and with spiritual leaders in different countries to understand how abuse definitions are applied within particular cultural contexts. All Nations will seek to lead within its global family and model a good approach for organizations over which it does not have authority.

Q: What if someone is stepping outside his/her line of authority? What can an All Nations team member or fieldworker do to help (especially if he/she is a supervisor)?

A: If someone is stepping outside their authority, it’s appropriate to talk to that person if you feel comfortable. If not, you can take it to your supervisor or the persons’ supervisor informally. You can also take the issue to our All Nations International Grievance Officer, who can receive all kinds of concerns.

Q: What is the new grievance process for All National International?

A: Following Matthew 18, go the person directly with a desire to seek a peaceful solution if you feel comfortable doing so. If not, you can take the grievance to your supervisor or the person’s supervisor informally. You can also take the issue to the Grievance Officer, who can receive all kinds of concerns and provide direction on where it should be reported. Depending on the type and subject of grievance, it may be handled locally, nationally, regionally, or by the ANI Board.

Q: What if there is a complaint about the International Leadership Team (ILT)?

A: The new grievance process addresses how complaints are received and responded to on all levels, honoring local laws and cultures, but also ensuring that there will be a response. We have a Grievance Officer who can receive any complaint and make sure that it gets routed correctly. Complaints can be submitted to leaders, to the ILT, to Mary, to the Board, or to the Grievance Officer.

If the complaint is about a given ILT member, that member will be recused from any involvement in the response. Mary, in conjunction with the ANI Board, will determine an appropriate response, which could be a variety of approaches: a response locally, an investigation, some kind of mediated peacemaking, or other approach depending on the allegations. If there is an allegation against Mary, the ANI Board will determine the appropriate response. All Nations will manage information that comes to the leaders. We are trusting God to work through us and help us to respond righteously.

Q: Can the leadership of All Nations deal judiciously if someone brings to them a serious issue that needs to be resolved?

A: Not only are the ILT and Mary available to respond, but the All Nations International Board of Directors will be apprised of serious allegations and will assist to deal with them.

Q: What if allegations are brought by someone who has now left the organization?

A: Allegations from someone who is no longer with All Nations International will also be received and responded to appropriately.

Q: What is the alleged accusation against another ILT member?

A: We have heard that there is a grievance or complaint(s) against one or more members, but this has not been shared with the All Nations International Leadership Team or Board Members. Once we receive information, ANI leadership will evaluate how best to respond.

Q: Who was this young missionary who produced an abuse report? Where was the accountability for his efforts as a missionary?

A: This was a young man who worked under a Hub for a while, but that came to an end when he produced his report gathering abuse allegations because the Hub leaders did not know about this or approve the methodology. However, ANKC allowed him to continue and he is still with ANKC. As to other work he was doing, we usually don’t share personnel matters publicly.

Q: How can this situation give the ANKC leaders enough of a reason to cut ties?

A: As far as we can tell, ANKC leaders believe that All Nations should be responsible to investigate allegations even within a local church in another country, and this difference of approach grew until they cut ties.

Q: Has All Nations International or any of its hubs or ministries ever received misconduct complaints?

A: No misconduct allegations or complaints have been received directly against a hub or its leadership since its founding in 1993. Naturally, there have been disagreements through the years about how to direct, or run the organization, such as the recent disagreements that caused All Nations Kansas City Hub Board and leaders (ANKC) and a team from the Hamburg Hub to leave. While we have been told that such complaints currently exist, none of them have been shared so far with the All Nations International (ANI) Board or leadership, so no action can be taken yet. Since ANKC is now a different organization from ANI, it is our hope that they will responsibly share information so we can respond rather than attempt to take authority over ANI internal affairs.

HAMBURG HUB

Q: What is going on with the Hamburg team?

A: Recently, the ILT met with Salome and there was a mutual decision for Salome to resign (effective July 31). On that call, Salome explained that she had already talked with team members and some of them would be going with her. We bless her and her family. All Nations Hamburg Hub team is now led by Mostafa Baghi and Sanaz Ahmadzade, Esther Wang and Juergen and Monika Kramer.

OUR FUTURE IS STRONGER AND FULL OF HOPE

Q: What happens next?

A: Leadership remains focused on implementing the planned organizational structure, supporting our fieldworkers and ministry partners, and continuing the mission God has entrusted to All Nations.

Q: Is there hope for the future for All Nations?

A: We continue to have the same vision that we have had: to reach the least, the last, and the lost. While we are sad that some have departed, we pray for God’s blessing on them and for restoration of unity, in the Body of Christ if not organizationally. We also are trying to learn humbly from this experience to improve how we lead All Nations and serve and love one another and Jesus well.
