We have one month left to reach our Global Companionship goals for this year.
We are inviting your support for an additional $48,000 by the end of March!
Why Global Companionship?
The goal of mission is not primarily aid (humanitarian assistance); it’s not even partnership. We engage in mission to establish friendships that lead to the formation of a new people in the world... If we are in Christ, we have become part of a new creation.
