Each ministry program represents a unique opportunity to experience freedom from poverty. Give on the individual ministry page or follow the “Designate” button to select the program that speaks to your heart. Enter your gift in any amount and we will honor that gift by providing for the unique needs of that program.
*Limitations exist for programs in Africa. If you wish to designate a gift, please contact us.
With God’s help, every decision we make, every program we undertake, every single thing we do aims at freedom from poverty of body, mind, and spirit. How we reach that vision changes according to the culture and context in which we serve. Our ministry programs, spending, and future goals reflect that reality.
