Yet most churches are not engaging this way.
127 Bridges the Gap
We connect churches and individuals with trusted local leaders who are already doing transformative, gospel-centered work in their communities.
Not to lead for them. Not to replace them. But to walk alongside them.
Barna Group, The Great Disconnect, 2025
Why This Work Matters
Our work matters because how we engage in global missions matters
It matters that we:
Honor
the leadership of those closest to the need
Invest
in solutions that are sustainable and culturally rooted
Build
relationships over short-term solutions
Reflect
the humility and love of Christ in how we serve
This is what partnership looks like: Joining what God is already doing through His people, in every corner of the world.
What Our Advocates are Saying
Through 127 Worldwide, God expanded my heart for global ministry. …Seeing vulnerable widows strengthened and young children eager to learn about Jesus left me blessed beyond measure.
Most importantly, supporting 127’s local partners — those who truly understand the community, culture, and needs — showed me that serving alongside and encouraging them is one of the most meaningful ways to live out James 1:27.
Kim New
127 Advocate, KY
Through this partnership our church has become more involved in global missions. We have had multiple members travel with 127 to Africa and our pastor even participated in the pastor training in Kenya.
I see vulnerable communities in Kenya, Uganda and Guatemala growing in Christ and flourishing through the programs 127 supports. The partner grants have been instrumental in supporting the ministries in a way that the local leaders have requested. It is a great way to put contributions where they are most needed.
