Support a Volunteer

Every month, teams depart for places around the world in need of healing and hope. Each team member donates his or her time. In addition, many pay the travel costs and gather donated supplies and medicines.

You can be part of these teams by supporting them financially. Not all of us can physically touch and help the hurting men, women and children in need. But you can help send those who do.
