THE P.E.A.C.E. PLAN

Go to the people

Live among them

Learn from them

Love them

Start with what they know

Build on what they have

But of the best leaders

When their task is done

The people will remark

"We have done it ourselves."

...Ancient Chinese Proverb



A few years ago our church community was deeply impacted by two separate sermon series titled “ Give us your Poor” and “Justice for All". Little did we know how God was going to challenge us to greater levels of compassion, serving the poor and under served people in other countries.


The good news is we have answered His call and followed in His footsteps coming along side our Global Partners to impact their communities in Haiti, Guatemala, Dominican Republic and to the ends of the earth!
