Alliance 436 sums up our goal of being an “ally” to serve and encourage brothers and sisters engaged in fulfilling the great commission.
The first century Barnabas provides a model of a generous brother who not only provided support, but was involved in field work by joining the apostles in missionary journeys. In Acts 4:36, Luke introduces Barnabas, which was actually a nickname prescribed by the apostles meaning “Son of Encouragement.”
Our mission is to reach unreached people groups (UPGs) and support other organizations and field workers engaged in UPG disciple making efforts. Through crisis, God has brought many refugees to American cities; these families come from areas of the world that have little or no gospel access.
We are engaged in projects, starting in Dallas, to serve the mission community, strengthen missionary families, and serve the local church by offering platforms for collaboration.
