We believe the best way to see this plan fulfilled is by extending His love to those who have yet to experience it.Through over 1,900 churches in the United States and nearly 700 workers in 70 countries, we pay forward the love of Jesus to suffering and overlooked people in our communities and throughout the world through a wide variety of developmental and compassionate care projects and initiatives.Because the C&MA is a Christ-centered global movement, we place a high value on employing a diverse, multicultural workforce to accomplish His Great Commission.
