Engaging BOTH Locally and Globally

• Seamless Links: Connecting our Local Churches with the Global Ministries of our International Workers.  Seamless Link Covenants have become an increasingly helpful way for our churches to get involved in the ministries that our Global Advance Fund supports through the work of our IW’s on the field. Partnering with our own International Workers in these covenants connects the Local Church to missions and least-reached people groups all around the world!
