We have a portfolio of partners locally and around the world. Our partnerships are built on shared beliefs and values, and a commitment to one another in true relationship. Some partnerships last for decades; others for a shorter season, depending on mutually agreed upon goals and commitments. Partnerships are invaluable for creating avenues for us to engage in God’s mission. Currently we are working with:
The Garage (Kennett Square and West Grove) works to empower youth to pursue their potential through after-school tutoring, mentoring and various programs. There’s no end to the creative ways you can serve at The Garage. But at the core, it’s all about relationships. Its mission is to empower youth to reach their potential academically, socially and spiritually. To learn more, click HERE or contact Kristin Proto.

The following partners work in potentially dangerous locations as they disciple others for Christ, and so we protect their identities by referring to their general regions and their initials.
South America—Our partners “P” and “B” serve rural areas of their region through church planting and discipleship. They have established deep relationships with their community through their long-term ministry.
Southeast Asia—Our partners “R” and “M” are involved in linguistics and translation, providing ethnic minority groups access to God’s Word. The Hill Tribe people are often seen as second-class citizens, facing poverty and illiteracy with little opportunity for success. In a predominantly Buddhist part of the world, we’re seeing lives transformed as people learn to read God’s Word in their own language, recognize their value in the eyes of their Creator and pursue a relationship with Him.
