Since 1983, we’ve provided accelerated discipleship opportunities to short-term missionaries impacting and being impacted by people in 34 different countries. We’ve learned a lot about holistic international development along the way, and we’re inviting you to join us in these God-made and God-sustained global relationships.
We focus on providing children with the tools and opportunities they need to overcome poverty and transform future generations.
Local Leaders
All of our programs are envisioned and run by local leaders pouring into their own people.
Sustainable Programs
We work with our communities, not for them, to determine their unique needs and discover creative solutions to overcome poverty.

We're in it for the long haul.
Changing futures takes time. And often, it’s done one child at a time. Perla is a stunning example of how the tangible love of others—and Christ—sustained over a long period of time can radically transform the life of a child born into poverty.
