We provided relief to victims of natural disasters in the U.S. and abroad, offered medical care in dozens of mission hospitals, rebuilt homes of persecuted Christians, facilitated lifesaving surgeries for children, and presented shoebox gifts and the Gospel to millions of kids. Below, please view picture and video highlights from 2018.
