Development and Education
Advance giving makes it possible to create long-lasting improvements to the physical and spiritual quality of life all over the world. The Advance has many types of development and education partnerships. From economic and micro-enterprise development to helping our mission partners construct churches and community centers, The Advance is leading the way for millions of lives to be improved every day. Water projects, sanitation, and infrastructure improvements increase the hygiene and health of communities. Advance partnerships construct, rehabilitate, and rebuild hospitals, orphanages, parsonages, retreat centers, shelters, hospices, and even bakeries. Once these buildings are completed, the Advance allows individuals and congregations to continue supporting these institutions by giving towards their program expenses. Educational Advance partnerships include theological schools, primary and secondary schools, vocational and technical training, leadership development, adult literacy, tuition scholarships, teachers' salaries, and health and nutrition courses, and many more. Sustainable agricultural practices, ecological centers, rooftop gardens in urban areas, and raising crops and livestock increase the welfare of communities while simultaneously conserving the environment.
