Forward Edge is a Christ-centered, international non-profit partnering with local leaders to help children and families overcome poverty and thrive. Our mission is to transform the lives of children trapped in poverty through Christ-centered holistic care, meeting physical needs while nurturing spiritual, emotional, and educational growth.
We believe the Gospel must be both demonstrated and declared. That means showing God’s love through tangible acts of compassion and boldly sharing the hope of Jesus in word and deed. Neither is complete without the other.
In long-term partnerships with communities across eight countries, we support programs led by local visionaries who understand the strengths and challenges of their people. Together, we’re addressing root causes of poverty and building sustainable paths to transformation.
As a mission team member, you’ll step into this ongoing work, not as a hero, but as a learner and co-laborer. You might help with children’s programs, meal distribution, home repairs, or outreach events, but the heart of the experience is building relationships across cultures and being shaped by them.
Our trips are designed to be deeply relational and reflective. You’ll be equipped before, during, and after your trip to listen well, engage with humility, and discern how God is working both in the community and in you.
We believe mission is not just about what you do, it’s about who you become. When you encounter God through both the joy and the challenge of cross-cultural service, you return home with deeper compassion, renewed perspective, and a greater sense of purpose in God’s mission.

Doctrinal Statement
We believe in God the Father, who through Christ created the heavens and earth, who is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power.
We believe in Jesus Christ, Gods only begotten Son, fully God and fully man, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, sinless in this life, making atonement for the sins of the world by His death on the cross.
We believe in His resurrection, His ascension into heaven, and His high-priestly intercession for His people that they may experience full salvation and His indwelling presence.
We believe in His personal, visible return to earth according to His promise.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Godhead, sent to convict the world of sin, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower those who believe in Jesus Christ.
We believe that all people by nature and by choice are sinners, but that God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
We believe that those who put their faith in Christ as Lord and Savior will rejoice in Gods presence for eternity, but those who refuse to put their trust in Him will be forever separated from Him.
We believe that the Bible is Gods Word, divinely and uniquely inspired, absolutely trustworthy, and having supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
We believe in the Church, the body of Christ, of which Christ Himself is the Head, and of which all regenerated people are members.
We believe that Christ commissioned the Church to proclaim the gospel in word and deed throughout the world, to encourage believers in the faith, and to teach and train believers in the principles of godly, fruitful living.
