About Forward Edge International
Our Mission at Forward Edge is to transform the lives of children trapped in poverty through Christ-centered, holistic care. We do this through local leaders already in place. We come alongside them with finances, short-term mission teams, and child sponsors. Holistic care includes nutritious meals, quality education, safe water, medical assistance, shelter, spiritual guidance and loving community.Our Vision is to see people around the world overcome spiritual and material poverty through Jesus Christ. We seek to positively impact every person who encounters Forward Edge...the children and families in our programs...the donors supporting them...our staff in the field...our mission team volunteers...and everyone in between. Like you, we want to live out God’s love. God has given Forward Edge clarity that the best way to help children is from within their community. We empower and resource local leaders who are already devoted and sacrificially loving people. We don’t start anything; we ‘come alongside’ godly men and women who are blessing the children and families in their communities. Because their generous hearts, filled with love for Jesus and others, they bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.Come and experience that love through a mission team to one of our eleven locations – we have been leading mission trips since 1983, so we know how to help you prepare for a trip and then experience God’s love in action to you and through you.
