The Alliance has a rich heritage of reaching into the dark places of this world with the message of Jesus. Are you resourced to cast that vision and to teach His Great Commission?

Caring for the Least of These

If you answered no, then read on.

To help you promote this vision, we've designed the following resources to help you advance Alliance missions initiatives in your church and community. And if you're an Alliance church looking to partner with a specific international worker, you can learn more about ministry partnerships.

The tabs below will link you to materials that have been carefully prepared to help you advance Alliance missions initiatives in your church and community.

  • Leader Resources

    • Missions Conference Promotion Kit

      Bulletins

      In July of each year, every Alliance church is mailed a Missions Conference Promotion Kit (MCPK). This kit informs you of the missions emphasis as well as provides promotional resources for your church to use.

      The 2012-2013 Missions Conference theme—Be Light—reminds us of our sacred trust to be the bearers of His light. Use the materials on the following page to equip yourself and others to be light to your neighborhood and the nations.

Then swing over to Portugal, where many people may have a heritage of Christianity, but the heart and meaning has all but been lost in so many lives.

    * Vision Trips are designed to give leaders and lay people first-hand exposure to Alliance international ministries by visiting one or more countries and interacting with our international workers in their ministry context. These trips usually involve a team of 20 or more participants and are perfect for a first-time trip for adults.

    ** Totally In Trips are specifically for leaders who are seriously considering a partnership with the field that is visited. Participants form a smaller team than for a Vision Trip and should be leaders with decision-making roles at their local church. For these reasons, participation is limited to 2-3 people from each church.

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—in our denomination, in our churches, and in our individual lives.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This central funding vehicle allows our international workers to focus on ministry rather than raising financial support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to participate in a short-term missions trip and experience missions work firsthand? We’re here to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
