  • national missions (Washington, D.C.)

    There are close to 700,000 displaced Ethiopians in and around the DC area, with very Ethiopian protest churches. So we work with Ethiopian church plants by providing them with training, resources, and any other needs requested by our partners.

      

    The goal is to get the gospel to as many Ethiopians as possible and assist our partners with developing strong churches in which they can be discipled.


  • INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS (BOLIVIA)

    We partner with Catalyst Missions and support their efforts in Bolivia.

  • INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS (gUATEMALA)

    We partner with a local church in Guatemala City called Sol de Justicia to help them in their goal of becoming a healthy church. We are specifically equipping and teaching their leaders on what a biblically healthy church looks like, helping them to become more gospel fluent, and showing them how to reach their community with the gospel of Christ. 


    Our partnership will last 5 years and will include multiple trips to Guatemala each year. 

  • INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS (ETHIOPIA)

    In Ethiopia (Addis Abada), we partner with missionaries Rudy and Katie Gleason to care for orphans and vulnerable families by meeting their basic needs, while leading them in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
