Sustainable Missions

Follow your calling and sustain your ministry

Vision

Empowering leaders to become self-sustaining as they live out their God-given calling and transform their communities.

We want to see communities transformed through self-sustaining ministries that embody the Gospel - empower local leaders, uplift the poor, and reveal Christ’s love through both word and action.

Our Goal

At Sustainable Missions, our goal is to equip missionaries to recognize and activate the resources already in their hands so they can follow their God-given calling, seize the opportunities before them and sustain their ministries.

School absentees have decreased since we started using Smartboxes because students know that when they come to school they will use a computer.
