Embracing
NEIGHBORS
Through Grants
for Field Personnel
By Mary Kaylor CBFNC Associate Coordinator
For 20 years, CBFNC has provided support in various ways to CBF field personnel and their ministry projects both stateside and internationally. While CBF’s Offering for Global Missions supports the long-term presence of field personnel, they are required to raise money for their ministry projects. To help cover field personnel project costs, CBFNC offers the Global Partnership Grant. These grants seek to network CBF field personnel & congregations and communities to build long-term relationships and combine assets to further the Kingdom of God. The funds awarded field personnel are used toward specific projects in their areas of ministry. Get to know more about the field personnel and projects CBFNC has recently awarded a Global Partnership Grant. Hannah Turner coordinates programs and events for Welcome House Raleigh to help immigrants and refugees adjust to their new lives in the United States.

Building relationships continues to be the most transformational part for me through my missional journey.”
