About this organization
Mission
We spend our greatest energy on the worlds greatest needs as an active response to the Gospel. So, we do tough things, we sacrifice, we go the extra mile to help – in prayer, giving, serving, running, cycling or hiking. Through this we meet dire needs, restore dignity, and provide Christ's hope. We desire to help the least resourced, least reached people in the world. Our program centers on discovering God at work in the world and in us, and we adhere to the Nicene Creed, the Bible, and teachings of Jesus Christ. We also work with multiple denominations, but are not affiliated with any particular denomination.
