The FACT annual Family Festival of Nations is February 23-March 2, 2025. It's a full week of remembering the Harvest. This is why we plant churches. This is why we send workers. This is why we extend the love, care, and compassion of Jesus to the world’s suffering, marginalized, and underserved. This is why we go to the last, remaining hard places instead of locations more hospitable to gospel messengers.

The FACT family is part of The Alliance family, and we get to remember The Harvest.

Will you be part of this year’s Festival?

“There’s not an empty or unplowed field in all the world today that God doesn’t intend for a harvest.”

—Tim Crouch

God has called each of us to join Him in fulfilling the most urgent task in human history: reconciling all people to Himself.

A Faith Promise is an active step of faith you can take over the next year to give all people the opportunity to hear and respond to Jesus' invitation. The "Faith" part means that you are trusting God to provide; the "Promise" part is your commitment to give what the Holy Spirit has prompted you to give. You may not know right now where these additional funds will come from, but you are intentionally trusting God to provide the amount you have pledged.

Will you join in this work?

Taking All of Jesus to All the World takes all of us. When you make a faith promise, you:

• enable Alliance workers to be nimble and responsive to urgent needs

• make it easy for missions giving to be a part of your regular budget

• connect to what God is doing throughout the world

• create long-term sustainability for Alliance ministries

Will you make a Faith Promise?

Together—we can do more!

To learn more and complete a Faith Promise Pledge, click the link below. Your Faith Promise is an agreement between you and the Lord and will only be seen and tabulated by the FACT Finance Team. While we will record your giving for tax deductible purposes, we will not track your giving compared to your Faith Promise. Questions? Contact us.
