Randy Alcorn is the founder of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching biblical truth and drawing attention to the needy and how to help them. EPM exists to meet the needs of the unreached, unfed, unborn, uneducated, unreconciled, and unsupported people around the world.

"My ministry focus is communicating the strategic importance of using our earthly time, money, possessions, and opportunities to invest in need-meeting ministries that count for eternity," Alcorn says. "I do that by trying to analyze, teach, and apply the implications of Christian truth."

Before starting EPM in 1990, Alcorn co-pastored for thirteen years at Good Shepherd Community Church outside Gresham, Oregon. He has ministered in many places and continues to make an impact worldwide.
