Gifts of Hope

The “Gift of Hope” program is a connection site. “Gift of Hope” asks mission congregation leaders what needs they have and provides contact information so congregations and individuals can see what is needed and supply the mission with either a monetary or a physical gift. This page is a tool for congregations and individuals to find practical and tangible ways to support mission congregations.
