News & Stories

For over 120 years the story of The Alliance has been proclaimed. But not just our story — this is the story of a man that walked the earth over 2000 years ago and changed the hearts of His people.

Jesus is the foundation of our stories; the news we tell is good because He is the Good News. A global flavor is found in our stories because we are all over the world. And as you read some of the stories below, take a moment to reflect on what God is doing through His people around the world. Take a moment to consider how the vision of a few has circled the globe. And take one more moment to consider how Jesus might want you to be a part of this great story! If you have a story you would like to share, email us and perhaps we will publish it on this Web site!

We know how to farm rice, but we don’t have access to land. We could help many poor families if only there was a field. Can CAMA help us?”

These were the words Pastor Joseph and the elders from Nazareth church shared with us in 1997. My family had recently been assigned to work with church-based community development initiatives in northwestern Cambodia.

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.
