MISSIONS STATEMENT OF ER
As our website states, we are a nonprofit missions organization with a desire to embrace and encourage the body of Christ and to reach people with the love of God. At the heart of every event and ministry sponsored by Embrace and Reach International is a desire to extend God’s grace, love and care to those in need and to those who volunteer their time and talents.
While we are respectful of the cultures in which we serve and also the diversity of the people who serve with us, our required guidelines are meant to fully disclose and make aware to all volunteers the expectations of character and behavior while serving on our overseas missions outreach.
Our ultimate desire is to see each individual grow in their knowledge and personal relationship with the God who loves and has created them.
