Projects Overview
Diverse and global are the two words that best describe Advance Projects. The Advance provides a channel of giving to projects in 100 countries around the globe. Advance projects not only work to alleviate suffering and respond to disasters, but also work to address the root causes of poverty and injustice, and make long-lasting improvements to the quality of life through development and education. Moreover, The Advance not only seeks to improve the physical quality of life, but also the spiritual and religious quality of life by sharing the love of Jesus Christ through evangelism and church growth.
The Advance has many partnerships that work with specific populations based on their race, ethnicity, economic status, age, religion, ability or disability, their experience of being marginalized in some way, or their status as a victim or survivor of abuse, violence, or war. From refugees to indigenous populations to orphans to blind individuals to teenage mothers, there are Advance partnerships that work with individuals who identify in a variety of colors and life experiences.
