Mission Resources For Churches

The State Department has launched an exciting new program ‘Welcome Corps’ where individuals can sponsor refugees to come to the US. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to practice the Kingdom gift of hospitality and to welcome some of the world’s most vulnerable into your community. Listen to this webinar to learn about this new opportunity in welcoming refugees.

Listen in as Jen Haddox, Director of Global Engagement talks with Tom Boone about mission in difficult places. Tom shares about his call to mission ministry, and about his recent visits to come alongside Ukrainian relief efforts and supporting the church in Pakistan.

Tom Boone is Associate Director for Mission with The Outreach Foundation, one of ECO’s partner organizations.
