Christ's Provisions, Inc. was birthed from the realization that many foreign missionaries are struggling to find support and are in daily need of it. CPI's goal is to bridge the gap between these individuals around the world and the church body that exists locally. To learn more about the ministries we are involved with today, please check out their individual pages.
Christ's Provisions, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non profit corporation (Tax ID#46-3802987) that exists to provide a direct connection between local followers of Jesus Christ and His dedicated missionaries for the impact of:
(1) Increasing the knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to meet spiritual needs
(2) Meeting physical needs in a real and tangible way to express God's love
The Christ's Provisions board is comprised of 7 Believers who come from a variety of different backgrounds and locations but all with a deep desire to see needs met in Jesus' Name.
