For over 50 years and in more than 50 countries, World Challenge Missions has helped spread Christ's love and extend his tender mercies to the poorest of the poor.

For over forty years World Challenge has been feeding, clothing, educating and meeting the needs of thousands of poor children, orphans and prisoners in strategic areas around the world.
