Our Advocacy Plan
We work to help advocates, like you, find healthy ways to live out James 1:27 obediently. We desire to help you on your journey to understanding your role in caring for the world's most vulnerable.
Join us in praying for our partners, their ministries, and those they serve through our Partner Prayer Newsletter – an email every other month letting you in on specific ways to lift up Geoffrey, Rose, David, and Chris.

GO
Going on a large scale encompasses Jesus command to both go to the nations to proclaim the Gospel and also to go to the widow and the orphan in their distress. We provide opportunities for advocates to GO and visit our partners both to encourage them, help them in their ministry, and to gain vision and be equipped for the larger work of vulnerable community care.
Join us for an upcoming GO Trip or through Virtual GO, our SMS based GO opportunity that allows you to experience a week with our partners through daily devotions, local recipes, and more!
