Medical workers at the Koutiala Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Mali, one of the poorest countries in the world, report that the Great Commission Fund (GCF), the central funding vehicle for The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), is saving babies’ lives.
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.
