In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
– Acts 20:35

Current Opportunities available:
Adopt-a-Mission Partner
Please sign up to adopt a local or global mission partner by coming alongside them in various ways. The most important way you can help is through your commitment to pray for their specific needs. Many of our partners have newsletters or prayer calendars to allow you to pray for specific needs. There are other ways to adopt your partner which is includes building relationships, serving at their location, and donations. When you adopt a partner, your first step is to commit to prayer and then allow the Lord to direct next steps.
