“Converge has been there for us anytime we call”
Dating back to shepherds on the Middle Eastern plains (Genesis 29:2–3), feeding, protecting and growing a flock works best when we coordinate and collaborate with others. I’m grateful for and better because of fellow Converge leaders and churches.
When the Lord led my family and me to serve in the Middle East over a decade ago, Converge — as our supportive extended family — assessed, trained and prayed for us. While on the field, Converge helped us carry out what God had called us to do. Now as a pastor in a multicultural city in the U.S., we gladly send our people who are called overseas through Converge.
Converge has been with me on every step of my church planting journey—from learning how to raise support, building a launch team and publicly launching the church. Our church would not have had the success it’s having today without the expertise from Converge.

Ministerial Housing Allowance Fundamentals
For more than a century, federal law has granted qualified ministers preferred tax treatment for their housing costs. This can be worth thousands of dollars in tax savings for ministers living in their own homes, rented quarters, or those living in ministry-provided housing as well. Church and ministry boards should determine if their organization’s leaders […]
