People are becoming more aware that we as people are connected and must be interested and concerned about the needs of others and can as individuals or through our churches assist the "church of God" around the world.

Christian Ministries are being able to share and learn from each other and help ministries become aware of other ministries. Therefore education, resources, prayer, and encouragement help people know they are not alone as they seek to meet the needs that often seem staggering. Other people who have taken part in our pen pal ministry begin pen-pal groups of their own that focus on more specialized needs: ex: People who are blind or are quadriplegic.
