Pray about giving

Why We Give

Missions giving is separate from our regular tithes and offerings. Gifts to missionary support go directly to the missionaries we support, helping them share the gospel, plant churches, and serve their communities around the world.

Give generously to be an extension of God’s Kingdom—supporting missionaries, funding ministry, and helping meet real needs so the Gospel can reach more people.

Hope for the whole child.

Operation Give Hope exists to give children in Kenya access to quality Christian education—helping them grow in mind, body, and spirit. Through Tiwi Academy, students receive daily meals, quality education, and the love of Christ that gives them hope for the future.

The Timothy Initiative
Church planting

Disciples who make disciples.

The Timothy Initiative believes the best way to fulfill the Great Commission is by making disciples who make disciples and planting churches that plant churches in the most unreached parts of the world.

For the Lord gave us this command when He said, “I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.”

Acts 13:47
