Many Christians want to partner with an effective local leader but don’t know who to trust or where to start. 127 introduces these Christians to our ministry partners who are already caring for the disadvantaged with excellence. Our partners are experts in the local culture and understand the complexity of the need facing their neighbors. By facilitate ongoing relationships between local leaders and western believers, we help them work together effectively so that, as the global church, we direct the giftings of the entire body of Christ toward empowering vulnerable communities to flourish.
EQUIP
We support partners through coaching & granting for specific collaborative projects aimed at empowering vulnerable communities & we provide ongoing educational and discipleship opportunities for advocates to support partners in healthy ways.
We equip our partners through coaching and trainings geared towards building Gospel-centrality, independence, and best-practices knowledge aimed at empowering vulnerable communities.
127 equips western Christians in best practices for vulnerable community care so that their partnership empowers vulnerable communities to flourish.
