Abundant Life Home - Bradley Schroeder

I like the way The Great Commission Foundation seeks to pray for their missionaries and to encourage them spiritually.

Jericho Ministries - Elizabeth Hake

I see and have experienced the value of having a foundation like this, that uplifts and comes alongside missionaries. The Great Commission Foundation is like a launching pad for missionaries to be sent out across the earth and I think they do a great job of stewarding and cultivating a foundation that supports that.
