IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0International Missions-The organization sponsors short-term missionary trips to Honduras and Haiti approximately two or three times per year. These trips are manned by a network of volunteers from across the USA through affiliated churches. Each trip helps to establish, guide and maintain Christian Bible believing churches among the Honduran and Haitian peoples. In addition to providing greater spiritual understanding of the Christian faith, volunteers supply their expertise and labor constructing schools, orphanages and houses of worship. Each volunteer raises the funds needed to cover their travel and personal needs which are administered by Common Ground Ministries, Inc. Common Ground Ministries, Inc. has also raised funds to support the Mission School of Hope in Africa with its annual Help Us Help Others fundraiser. Funds raised are sent to the National Association of Congretional Christian Churches for final distribution.
