Church With A Mission
Southland Christian Church, one of Kentucky’s largest churches, is big on reaching out to the poor and needy outside its walls
Southland Christian Church in Lexington, Ky., has always been a mission-driven congregation, generously supporting numerous Christian missionary work in America and around the world.
Recently, Southland took the time to refocus its missions program "so that we could do a few things well and have a greater impact on God’s kingdom," according to Mark Perraut, missions director. Perraut says the refocusing of the church's missions priorities meant visiting back with individual partners and organizations - many of whom had been partners for many years - and disengaging with quite a few of them.

Meet some young people in rural Guatemala who are fighting - and winning - against adversaries of hope.

Thirteen years later, the memories are still painful and peace remains fragile, but in many indigenous communities where Food for the Hungry works, hope is rising as a young generation - schooled and ambitious - stakes a claim at a positive future.
