About
We serve alongside locally-led efforts in Zambia, Costa Rica , and around the globe caring for women and children.
These women and children are in impoverished communities. They may be facing homelessness and hunger. They may be refugees. They may have been dehumanized. They may be alone or in families. They are our brothers and sisters. We work with local leaders to meet their needs.
We emphasize sustainable capacity building of local leaders as well as meeting spiritual and physical needs (according to James 2) of women and children.
We focus on nutrition, education, spiritual resources and mentoring, drug and alcohol counseling, and economic empowerment.
You can serve.
This is where your field of study or expertise meets the mission field. Serve long term, short term, online, and abroad.
Ways we serve needy communities:
1) providing interns (U.S. & internationally)
2) child sponsorship
3) missionary support staff to assist indigenous ministry long term
4) professional development trainings and resources – professional trainings for local NGOs, FBOs, governmental groups serving needy communities as well as directly providing training for women in need.
5) donor development and response
6) community relief aid
7) church partnerships and charity events
