A GLOBAL NETWORK OF BELIEVERS, CHURCHES, BUSINESSES AND ORGANISATIONS FOCUSED ON RECONCILING PEOPLE TO GOD, BUILDING KINGDOM, AND GETTING PEOPLE WORKING AND THRIVING.
CONNECTING THE LOST TO CHRIST
GETTING THE POOR WORKING
We ask the question: "What is the best thing you can do for a poor person?"
We equip those with a heart for working with the poor to bring real transformation to their communities by helping them get practical! We teach people how to climb down into the pit of poverty and to equip those suffering in the pit to build a ladder out. Through this the body of Christ is grown!
