"For me, mission is encounter. Encountering the other, where they're at, as they are, and journeying with that person, and hoping to catch a glimpse of God on the journey through life with the other."
Real voices from the mission
Meet our sisters from around the world and hear their authentic stories of transformation, calling, and life in mission.

"The Bedouin chief asked: 'Are they here to convert us?' Our friend replied: 'These women are our sisters. They want us to be good Muslims. They ask nothing from us, only that we live with dignity and justice.'"

These sisters answered God's call and found their purpose in mission. Perhaps you're being called too. Let's start the conversation about your unique journey.
