serving globally
“…and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”. Acts 1:8
And yet we are compelled by the Bible’s presentation that God’s message is good news for all people, not just people in Collierville, Memphis or the US. It is a message that is good news for all of humanity; coffee farmers in Indonesia, orphans in Kenya, business leaders in Central Asia, and pastors in Nicaragua. God’s message is a global one.
With the same zeal that we seek to care for those neighbors that live close to us, we also seek the welfare of those that live farther away. In places like Kenya, Indonesia and Nicaragua we strive to a clear proclamation of the message of Jesus and a beautiful demonstration of His love, care and compassion. Words and works. Bibles and buildings. Living Water and Clean Water. Church planting and business start ups. This is the way in which we engage in mission, in serving our world globally.
Discover the areas of focus we have, who we partner with and the global work in which we’re engaged.
