As severe drought, skyrocketing food prices, and political unrest become the norm for the people of Africa’s Sahel region, Alliance workers bring hope to the hopeless.
One in three children does not reach the age of 10 in Burkina Faso, mostly due to waterborne illnesses. Envision Culture—a movement to mobilize Alliance young adults to serve God on a global scale—is partnering with like-minded groups to dig wells in Burkina.
I walked over to the sliding glass doors that have a view of our neighborhood and joined God in a conversation. Lately that conversation has been circling back to one question: “Why am I here?” It’s not an angry question. It’s an honest one. And last night, God honored it with an honest answer.

On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered the greatest destruction and loss of life since World War II. A 9.0- magnitude earthquake, followed by a devastating tsunami and nuclear reactor accident, created a “triple disaster.”
One year later, Alliance workers are bringing help and hope to the people of Ishinomaki, one of the hardest-hit areas of the catastrophe, located in Japan’s spiritually “dark region.”

Right now in Burkina Faso, Esther Schaeffer is working with Alliance people to provide emergency relief assistance to Tuareg (an Arabic term meaning “abandoned by God”) refugees.
As a result, hundreds of Tuaregs, historically, staunch adherents of the majority religion in the region, are learning about the love and compassion of Christ.
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.
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.
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.
