- Learning Activity: Buddhism
- Buddhists do not worship a supreme being. Buddhism is based on the experience of a man named Siddhartha Gautama, a member of a royal Hindu family who lived around 560 B.C. He left his family to live in the wilderness and contemplate life and death. He claimed he found the key to “enlightenment” and became and “enlightened one,” a Buddha. He is now called Buddha and some people worship him as a god. His writings form the basis of Buddhism, which embraces reincarnation, the belief that people return to life in cycles or pass into nothingness. A person’s quality of life is thought to be based on behavior in earlier lives.

Pray.
The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.
Give.
You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.
Serve.
Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
