About Alliance.

The vision for this ministry first developed in late 2020. In 2022, Alliance 436 formed and became a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to serving missionary laborers with a goal of healthier families and longevity in the field. All of this is ultimately to further the growth of the Kingdom and see every people group represented among believers of our Lord Jesus Christ!

The name.

Just like Barnabas did for the early church (who is introduced in Acts 4:36), our goal is to be an “ally” to serve and encourage brothers and sisters engaged in fulfilling the great commission.

Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.

– Acts 4:36-37

We provide…

Missionary care customized to the needs of each of our missional partners who are individuals and families God has placed in our path through existing relationships. Our missional partners do not “belong” to Alliance 436, nor are we a sending organization. Many of our partners have affiliations with other organizations. We celebrate this and we’re happy to come alongside!

It’s not just what we can do, but how we can partner with other believers to mobilize care.

God has a purpose for every believer to serve in His kingdom. As saints join us in serving others, we strive for mutual edification: all believers drawing closer to God, better serving one another, and increasing their discernment of His call on their lives.

We partner…

With churches, other believers, and other ministries to offer as many aspects of care to our missional partners as possible, including but not limited to:

–Proactive communication via text, email, and messaging apps to stay in touch, regularly pray for, and identify potential needs

–Debriefing opportunities, listening prayer sessions, and scholarships for Biblical counseling

-In-person fellowship gatherings and opportunities to connect with churches and advance mobilization (for local partners)

–Video calls, in-person visits through care trips, and sending care packages for our partners serving overseas or in other North American cities
