Explore IgniteWhere We Work
We serve partner churches and communities across three continents — each with unique needs, unique challenges, and a unique opportunity for the gospel to advance.
The Designs For Hope team brought their expertise on this very successful clean water project; however, it was their emphasis on ministering beyond clean water by reaching out into the community through local churches that had the most significant impact for the Kingdom. We are very thankful for our friends at Designs For Hope!
One Size Does Not Fit All
Our international partners have difficulties and challenges unique to their location and communities. That's why we use A.D.D.I.E. — a comprehensive design process that evaluates each problem based on culture, needs, sustainability, and leadership.
Join The Tribe.
Donations from our monthly donors help sustain the ongoing work of empowering and equipping disciple-makers in the developing world. By meeting the physical and spiritual needs of the communities where our partners live and minister, we open the door for gospel conversations.
