We are looking forward to coming alongside you as you prepare for this home service and then for your next term of ministry. Our desire is to empower you and see you thrive in the ministry where God has called you!

We know that every situation is different and some elements may still not be clear or might not fully apply to your situation, so feel free to contact your Member Care Coach or the US Member Care department with any questions. We are here to serve you!
