Our heart and mission statement is to provide our missionaries with a dependable home office that processes their donations and handles all the logistics involved in raising funds for their ministries. Our values can be summarized in this statement: We are a God-glorifying, Christ-centered, Gospel-driven, missionary service organization that was established by missionaries for missionaries.
