Food for the Cities describes its mission as leading people to Jesus Christ and discipling them; Diamond Willow Ministries says it meets physical, emotional, and spiritual needs; and Living Water International says it combines clean-water work with sharing the Gospel. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
