2025 has been a record-setting year!

• We started more new IFCs (Innovative Faith Communities) in 2025 than in any single year of the past 15 years.
• We received more funding from grants than at any time in Mission Alive’s history.
• We added more new team members to Mission Alive than in any one year since 2007.
• We launched a partnership with Pepperdine University and the Lilly Endowment, Inc. to start new IFCs in rural and small-town communities.
• We have more courses available to help everyone learn how to live missionally than at any time in our history.

Clearly, GOD HAS BEEN AT WORK!

And God continues to be at work even as our world continues to be in significant upheaval.  We have seen a string of tragedies across our country and around the world. From the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, flooding in South Texas, wildfires on both coasts, a string of mass shootings, devastating hurricanes, to the seemingly endless vitriol blasted across the media. Is there any question our world needs God’s peace and love?

One conviction that fuels Mission Alive is, “When the Kingdom comes near, life should get better.”  This is true not only for God’s people but for all the people they bless out of neighborly love. These are the kind of IFCs Mission Alive starts – ones that bring peace and love to their community.

It is so easy to become overwhelmed by tragedies and bad news.  We at Mission Alive, choose to respond not with despair but with mission: God’s mission to bless our neighbors and help them find the best life possible.  Are you ready to partner with us in this effort?  Reach out at contact@missionalive.org .  We look forward to seeing what God will do in 2026!
