Purpose
Economic Development, Education, Health, Spiritual Development, & Water are the key areas that make a real and sustainable impact in the communities we work in around the world.
Mission statement
To provide the people of American churches, communities, and families with a bridge to the churches, communities, and families of Kenya, Haiti, Uganda, & Guatemala, nations of great need.
Statement of faith
We accept and hold strongly to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that in Him, and Him alone, eternal salvation can be found. Because of the nature of our organization and God's calling on us to serve His people, we allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon the Bible.
No such differing interpretations or denominational differences should become an issue that hinders the ministry to which God has called us. We are committed to a calling that surpasses denominational lines and unifies the body of Christ in such a way that God would be glorified and people would experience His grace and love.
