CHUCK TODD’S BIOGRAPHY
Chuck Todd, the Founder and President of World Missions Alliance, has been leading cutting edge missionary projects in the “hot spots” of the world since 1990. Under his leadership hundreds of American Christians, called to fulfill the Great Commission, took the Gospel to the former Soviet Union, India, China, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Israel and Iraq.

Chuck has spent over 30 years sharing the Gospel in the world’s hot spots and giving Christians an opportunity to fulfill the Great Commission. Chuck Todd calls a mission trip a “Date with God.” His message to the church in America is to revive the passionate, intimate, personal relationship with God by fulfilling the Great Commission. He believes that every Christian will deepen his/her relationship with God by stepping out into the mission field, even if for a short time. He also believes that “God doesn’t send the qualified, but qualifies those whom He sends”.
His ministry started with the work in post-Communist countries at the break up of the Soviet Union. Once trained as a soldier in the military to fight the Soviet Union, he felt profound compassion for his former enemies. In 1998 he traveled to the Muslim Kyrgizstan where he stood on the border between with China and prayed for the last stronghold of Communism. Six months later, in May 1999, he flew into China on the same day when NATO accidentally bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. While rioters shut down the American Embassy and held the Ambassador hostage, Chuck Todd preached in a Chinese church where no “Western” person has spoken in 50 years. The next day he signed an unprecedented agreement with the authorities of the Bao’an District allowing groups of missionaries to share the Gospel and distribute Bibles in district’s Three-Self Churches. His ministry in China continued with great success for the next 20 years.
The same year Chuck Todd founded World Missions Alliance with his wife Helen as a two-fold mission of spreading Christianity and involving the body of Christ in short-term missions.
When the war started in Iraq in the spring of 2003, Chuck Todd felt the call to Babylon. In November 2003 he pioneered WMA outreach in Iraq. During his work there, he survived the danger of kidnapping and death during the Fallujah crisis, met with Iraq’s Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and started a church in Duhook in the Northern Iraq. World Missions Alliance work in Iraq is ongoing.
Chuck Todd met his wife Helen in the early 90s while living in Russia as a Missions Director for Revival Fires Ministries. He has witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union and two coups that took place in Russia during these days, and saved Helen’s life when she was caught in the random crossfire during one of the coups. They have been married since 1993 and have two sons, Phillip and Spencer.

“We recently had Chuck and Helen Todd from World Missions Alliance in our pulpit to share what their organization has been doing and the powerful effect they have been having in countries throughout the world, including Northern Africa, East Asia, and former Soviet countries. Their authenticity, enthusiasm and conviction to bring help and hope to those who have never heard the Gospel is truly inspiring. We love being a part of missions organizations that are doing great work in “hot-ground”, planting the seed of the Word of God.” – Don Caywood, Pastor Odessa Christian Faith Center
