Their story

Serving around the world

Emergency Relief & Development Overseas (ERDO) is the humanitarian arm of the PAOC, providing food, clean water, and education to vulnerable communities worldwide. ERDO has three (3) pillars – crisis response, community development, and child development. As a Program Officer with ERDO, Steve works with local partners in many countries around the globe as they find ways to respond to the needs of their communities to practically demonstrate how God’s people show love and support in difficult circumstances. Pray for wisdom, discernment, and support for identifying the best way to collaborate with the local church to bring lasting Kingdom impact.

Fountain Of Life (FOL) continues to operate in Lilongwe, Malawi and provides hope for those who have been abused. We are always working to improve our policies to ensure those who come to us for help know they are safe and secure. FOL has great connections with the Government of Malawi, and they continue to send us their most challenging cases. We also have a growing network of like-minded people and organizations that we partner and collaborate with. The need is huge. We would like to do more, so pray for a surge of support that can only come through God - our great Provider. Pray for our team and all they do, amid so many challenges.

Your generosity makes a difference!

Why do we partner with these Global Workers?

Simply because they know the needs on the ground.
They have been well trained, and as they work, the Holy Spirit is opening their eyes to the needs of the people there.

Our Global workers, who are our friends, give the people they meet and work with, just what they need — in many cases, even providing basic human needs.

We trust them as experts in their field and have seen their effectiveness.
They have been commissioned and sent out from our church family.
They have been entrusted and empowered to “Go”, and we desire to see the Lord work in mighty ways in and through them as they do His Kingdom Work!

We support our Global Workers every month through your generosity! In addition, here are some examples of projects/organizations we financially supported for in 2024.

This is YOUR DOLLARS AT WORK!

Why do we do this?

Because we believe that every person was created to experience and express the purest love imaginable.
Our outreach strategy includes meeting the needs of our world in very practical ways.
Through our Global Outreach Fund, we mobilize our “why” by partnering with indigenous initiatives and university ministries in our province. Internationally, we help build schools, drill freshwater wells, and respond to humanitarian disasters. We also support the personal budgets of people who feel called across the globe to serve in their country of burden. We train and send teams to go out on short-term trips to serve and give back to communities that need ministry teams. All of this is done so that those in our world can experience the purest love imaginable.

We believe that “when you go on missions, you grow in your faith!”

Together in Mission
