Sending leaders around the world
Jesus calls each of us, “Follow me!” Chapel Hill helps support believers around the world each with a unique mission. To love the abused or abandoned. To listen. To teach. To offer grace, hope and purpose in Christ. As a global church family, we pray for each other and spur one another on.
