Next Stepps Pregnancy Center
When faced with an unplanned pregnancy, fear and many other contributing factors lead women to abortion clinics. Next Stepps Pregnancy Center offers life-affirming services to families who are unable to receive support or assistance when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. Next Stepps fights to ensure that the God-given value and worth of all human lives are both affirmed and fully supported in the community we have been called to serve. Next Stepps has facilitated over 1,270 life-affirming services to families in need.
Our Global Partner
The needs people encounter on a global mission trip are often far more drastic and desperate than the ones we see in our own neighborhoods and nation. For this reason, global mission expands not only the reach of our faith community but supports our partners to reach their own communities in some of the most drastic and desperate areas of needs.
Spring Valley School - Orphanage
Spring Valley School and Orphange was recognized as one of the higher-ranking schools in Nairobi, Kenya. Spring Valley intentionally chooses to serve the poorest and most vulnerable children in their city and community. These children were either at risk of, or were, trafficked, abused, neglected, HIV positive, recruited as a child-soldier, and/or abandoned. The children living at Spring Valley depend on their everyday basic needs to be met by their local church and school. Many children are orphans who live on campus, while other students go home often where there is no food. Spring Valley feeds, clothes, educates, and disciples these nearly 400 children every day. Spring Valley is known as their community’s pillar of hope and stability. You can partner with the current Spring Valley team scheduled to leave the summer of 2023. You can join the Spring Valley 2024 team now to learn how to prepare for the next mission trip.
