The Lord continues to pave the way for us to serve remarkable men and women living in poverty around the world.
Being a part of this transformational work is an incredible gift—and we couldn’t do it without your support.
For your generosity in 2015, we created this video to say, “Thank you.” We are profoundly grateful for your faithful partnership in this ministry!
