With The Friends of The Great Commission, you receive the care and guidance of your assigned representative. Your representative helps you with all your questions, gives you charity compliance guidance, and acts as a liaison to the Friends of The Great Commission's other departments. They work with you, pray for you, and assist you in helping your ministry thrive. We value building into this relationship for long-term success and believe we can be stronger together.
