North America's needs are great. Children go hungry. Neighborhoods become disaster zones after storms. Entire communities have no church presence and no one to tell them about the hope found in Christ. This is the focus of the North American Mission Board (NAMB). NAMB equips churches to be on mission in their own communities and across the continent. Through compassion ministry, church planting, chaplaincy and disaster relief, they help congregations go to the lost and hurting. In 2022, we hope to establish a relationship with a new church plant in a major east coast city that we can pray for and send teams to on a regular basis.
