What if?

What if faith refused to sit still?

What If?

What if hope crossed borders?

What If?

What if love ran toward the places others avoid?

For all who choose to
ask, “what if?”

Go boldly.

"Together, we’ve learned again that bold steps may look like quiet acts of obedience—prayer, generosity, and showing up even when the road is hard."

Ryan Skoog
President

Year in Review

Global attention turned to Myanmar in March when a 7.7 earthquake shook the nation. Foreign aid began pouring in, yet our partners knew the most likely outcome—the military junta would control distribution, leaving thousands to suffer, unless personal action was taken.

Ram Naryan was a well-known witch doctor. However, his entire way of life changed when unexpected guests visited him. See how one man's encounter with Jesus transformed his life and impacted his entire Harjian community.

Great World Race
for Freedom
Four athletes set out to do the impossible: run seven marathons on seven continents in one week—all to raise $500,000 to rescue and restore girls from sex trafficking.
183 miles in 7 days
From November 15-21, each team member raced 91 to 183 miles (199,000 to 400,000 strides). One day, they faced blinding snow and negative temps in Antarctica. The next day, they faced a 100-degree temperature swing in Perth, Australia, for the next marathon.
For Freedom
"It was the toughest physical challenge that any of us have taken on. But it makes it all worth it knowing that freedom will come as a result of our united efforts.”
Brent Silkey
Founder of 30 for Freedom
A New Dream
After finishing the fifth marathon in Portugal, the $500,000 goal had already been surpassed. A new dream quickly took hold: could the community rally to reach $1 million?
