missions

Across the street and around the world.

Our Heart for Missions

We believe the love of Jesus is for everyone. At Living Word in the Desert, missions is not just something we support—it’s part of who we are. Whether across the street in our own community or across the globe through Foursquare Missions International, we are committed to bringing hope, healing, and the gospel of Christ to every age, every background, and every community.

Global Missions

As a Foursquare church, we are part of a worldwide movement that reaches nations across the globe. Through Foursquare Missions International (FMI), missionaries are sent, churches are planted, leaders are trained, and communities are transformed by the gospel.
By partnering together, we get to be part of what God is doing worldwide.

What This Means for Us:

  • Supporting Foursquare missionaries serving in nations around the world.
  • Giving financially to fund global outreach and church planting.
  • Praying for nations and leaders who carry the gospel into hard-to-reach places.
  • Going on short-term mission trips through Foursquare opportunities to serve and share the gospel in other nations.

Local Missions

Missions also start right here at home. We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our own community—the Coachella Valley and beyond. Through local outreach and partnerships, we seek to meet practical needs while sharing the love of Christ.

Local Opportunities We Support:

  • Food and Clothing Outreach: Providing meals, groceries, and clothing to families in need.
  • Community Service Projects: Serving schools, neighborhoods, and local organizations.
  • Victory Life Homes: Supporting men and women in recovery and restoration.
  • Youth and Children’s Outreach: Reaching the next generation through events, camps, and school partnerships.
