As a community, we care about the work of justice and mercy happening in our global community. We seek the invitation of Jesus into what this looks like in the form of holistic, proclaiming and demonstrating, Gospel-rooted action across the globe.
Global Justice & Mercy
Begun by our Imago Elder-on-Mission, Dr. Garry Friesen, ABC exists to wipe out biblical illiteracy in Rwanda. All the Bible in Community is led by a team of Rwandan leaders that have joined Dr. G in bringing the fullness of scripture to their home. Their work and commitment has led to pastor trainings, first time scholarly conferences, and building the largest theological library in East Africa.
Imago partners with ABC through financially supporting Dr. G out of tithes and offerings and is honored to hold Dr. G and the leaders of ABC in prayer. You can donate to ABC/Dr. G here or learn more about All the Bible in Community by going HERE.

Since 2006, The Water Project has been helping communities gain access to clean, safe water by providing training, expertise and financial support for water project construction. They are unlocking human potential by providing reliable water projects to communities in sub-Saharan Africa who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation.
Imago has been partnered with TWP for years as we annually give above and beyond to this incredible work financially as a community. Our leaders and friends in Western Kenya have paved the way for us to reimagine joy, community, and the work of Jesus in demonstrating practical ways to love our neighbors well. You can see the current status of all projects we have participated in via their Impact Report here.

A few years ago, our staff was introduced to an organization based in Morelia, Mexico called NOE International. Throughout Morelia, NOE has community centers that are committed to bringing holistic care to kids through classes before and after their typical school day, learning English, making art, learning how to play instruments, and playing sports. In the evenings, students attend youth groups and bible studies in a setting where their soul is nourished on top of all the rest of it.
As we visited in early 2025, it was clear that God was inviting Imago to partner with what God is doing through NOE, and our elders affirmed Noe as our newest global partner. In summer of 2025, Imago Dei high school students were the first to visit and bear witness to the joy and transformation in Morelia. Keeping relationships and Jesus, not just work projects, at the center, we cannot wait to see the ways the Spirit will continue to connect our church and Noe International for the years to come.
