Village Partners International is an example of how a non-profit can provide a vehicle for various communities to come together in dialogue, relationships, shared valued, and then service. In a world where faith communities are too often divided and acrimonious Village Partners International provides a place for common service, while allowing those communities to hold on to their distinctive identities and heritage. Village Partners International, in its relatively brief history, has achieved enormous success in creating daily, practical, ongoing, relief from suffering, and aid for poor and heavily challenged communities. It values highly the independence and integrity of partner communities. It is a partnership of encouragement, prayer, and practical help. It is one vehicle through which I seek to serve God.
