ChangePoint supports a number of families and organizations who are working to live out the Great Commission: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Mt 28:19-20
Feel free to contact these families, ask them how you can pray for them & be amazed as God works through you. We are ALL a part of seeing life in Christ for every Alaskan and the world beyond!
