Mission in Action
The Mission Fund – Doing Small Things With Great Love has awarded over $18 million dollars over the past 14 years to the poorest among us in more than 60 countries.
Mission Fund grants have created shelters for the poor, soup kitchens to feed the hungry and employment training for orphans and abandoned children. Mission Fund grants also help hospitals in poor countries to obtain medical equipment, and provides medicine, medical services, and food for the sick and hungry.
Here are a few beautiful stories from some of our grant recipients.
