Friends of Colegio Moriah
Colegio Evangélico Moriah is a Christian School serving Haitian and Dominican children in a village on the outskirts of San Pedro de Macorís. We support their work through regular giving to the administration and upkeep of the facilities. Our Sunday School offerings are also used to sponsor students at Colegio Moriah.
Domestic Missions
Outreach within the United States…
Risk Takers for Christ
Risk Takers for Christ‘s mission is to reach at-risk youth and the community at-large with the Gospel of Jesus Christ by engaging them in athletic competition and providing positive male role models.
Based on 35 years of prison ministry experience, RTC is convinced that a leading cause of criminal behavior is the lack of a positive male role model in the lives of young men.
The goal is to reach at-risk youth with the Gospel before they get into trouble with the law.
Our Daily Bread
Our Daily Bread Publishing is committed to feeding the soul through books that foster growth and godliness in the lives of God's people. Our materials remain focused on Scripture to show reverence for God and His Word, to demonstrate the relevance of vibrant faith, and to help equip all to live out God’s truth in our daily lives.
