Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

We engage the far-off, forgotten, abandoned people-the least of these-by building genuine trust through relationships and sharing Christs gospel of grace and great hope. We come alongside and support local churches that disciple their people, evangelize their communities, and go on mission. (Matt. 12:21, Matt. 25:40, 1 Thess. 2:8, 1 Pet. 1:13) We equip men, women, and children with a Christ-centered education, training, biblical resources, and through community health initiatives. (Eph. 4:12, Heb. 13:20-21) We empower the saints to commit their whole selves-their time, talents and skills, knowledge, resources and gifts-towards fulfilling Gods purpose for their lives. (Prov. 3:5-6, Eph. 2:10, Matt. 20:25-28)

Activities or mission (Part I)

Twelve21 Global exists because we are compelled by the hope of Jesus to walk faithfully alongside communities where hope has been scarce. We remain present over time-listening, learning, and building trust-so that transformation can take root in ways that are lasting and locally owned.
