Areas of Service

Connections

Connections stands as the single most important part of the Convoy of Hope outreach. Children, teenagers and adults who make a decision for Christ must be immediately and effectively assimilated and discipled by other believers. We will need people to help us with effective follow-up through data entry, phone calls, home visitation and altar workers for ministry respondents.
