We believe with all our hearts that the Lord is both our provider and our provision. That being said, this ministry does have financial needs, and we believe that while the Lord is the ultimate answer for all our needs, He does, in part, choose to use people as vessels for His provision.
We always need financial partners, whether it’s to support individual pastors and missionaries, to continue meeting our general budget, or to fund specific ministries and projects. If you would like to become a financial partner, simply click on each heading below to read about our various ministry needs and current donation designations, prayerfully consider how the Lord is calling you to contribute, and click the button for your preferred donation method.
If you’d like more information about any of the needs presented here, or if you feel led to support something you do not see listed, please send us a message and we’ll be happy to work those details out with you.

Current Needs & Designations
No matter how you choose to make your donation—whether by mailing a physical check or by donating online—you will need to indicate the partners, ministries, or projects you wish to financially support.
Click on the headings below to review our current designation options—the words in bold print—under each one. Once you determine the appropriate designation, simply write it on your check or in the corresponding box in the online donation form.
Missionary Support
We cannot do what we do without the dedication and sacrifice of our full-time missionary staff. While some missionary staff may be with us only for a season, others have been called to this work as a life-long vocation, and still others may participate on a volunteer basis from their homes around the country. Regardless of the duration or location of their missionary service with us, our missionaries need financial support to ensure they are able to dedicate their focus to the work the Lord has set before them. Please consider joining their monthly support team as a way of fulfilling Paul’s command to “carry one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
