Equipping the Next Generation of Christ-Centered Leaders

Findlay, OH   |  www.OurMissionIsPossible.org

Mission

Mission Possible seeks to Equip the Next Generation of Christ-Centered Leaders. Mission Possible was established in 1979 to share the good news of God's love and blessings for the people of Haiti. Mission Possible began constructing and establishing Christian schools, shipping needed supplies and providing food for the needy. In 1988, the mission expanded to the Dominican Republic. Mission Possible and her sister organization, Mission Possible Canada, serve both countries together in joint ministry. Mission Possible works for meaningful progress by equipping and training Haitians and Dominicans to use their God given abilities to reach out in love to serve their countrymen.
