2025 has been a year we have seen God open doors that were beyond our prayers and hope.
Internationally, we have continued to build schools, provide communities with clean water, and families with financial livelihoods.
Your support has also equipped staff and volunteers to serve urgent needs in the face of conflict and natural disasters abroad and at home.
