"...the Lord has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound…to comfort all who mourn."
Isaiah 61:1-2

The prophet's proclamation is the heart of our apostolic call to go beyond short-term missions by sending members of our community as servants in mid-term (4-6 months) and long-term missions. We count it a privilege to participate with them in their service around the world.
