Our Mission
Encourage
Part of our mission is to encourage the body of Christ to reach out to their neighbors, family, and friends who are struggling physically, emotionally and spiritually; and to encourage pastors and leaders as they minister to their congregations and communities.
To Heal the Hurting.
Equip
The second part of our mission is to equip pastors, churches and organizations in areas where we minister with leadership skills training, equipment and supplies, so they can more effectively reach the needy in their spheres of influence. This is accomplished through short-term missions teams using their skills & passion on the mission field.
To Equip the Body of Christ.
Engage
The third part of our mission after Encouraging and Equipping, is to Engage the church to take action in reaching out beyond the walls of their church, to the lost in their communities, in their region, and to the Church around the world, by supporting, sending, and going.
To Discover and Fulfill Their Destiny.
