Funding the work of these Alliance Missions Workers is no small task. It takes approximately $40,000 annually to keep an individual worker on the field. Through the generous and sacrificial giving of people like you, workers are sent to fulfill their calling from Jesus in all the earth. By giving to the work of the Great Commission Fund, you can help keep these workers on the field.
Missions Emphasis 2025-2026
From His first invitation to His final Commission, Jesus invites His followers into the deeper life with Him and out alongside Him to all the world. “Come, follow Me,” He says, calling us to Himself. “I will send you out,” and “Go and make disciples of all nations,” He commands, sending us out with His heart to the world. And His promise—“I am with you always”—guarantees His love and empowerment through His Spirit at all times.
At the heart of our faith is a call to be with Jesus—to receive all of Him and to be transformed by His work. And being with Jesus carries us to where His heart is—with the people of the world who are lost, marginalized, and searching.
This is why The Alliance exists. Together as a family of Christ followers, we believe that obedience to God and the overflow of a deeper life in Jesus compel us to do everything in our power to share the good news—All of Jesus for All the World.

Children’s Missions Project 2026-27 - Casa De Alegría
Every year, a special missions project is selected to help children across Western Pennsylvania discover the heart of the Great Commission and learn how they can be part of God’s work around the world. Through this initiative, kids are encouraged to grow in their understanding of missions while supporting the ministry of our International Workers serving globally.
This year’s project supports Casa de Alegría (“House of Joy”) in El Salvador. Our WPA International Workers, Rocky and Shaina Higgins, are partnering with a local Salvadoran missionary to build a community center on Isla La Calzada. Casa de Alegría will provide a safe and welcoming place where children can learn about the Bible, receive educational support, participate in fun activities, and experience the love of Christ. This ministry is especially important because many families on the island live in poverty and face limited access to resources and opportunities. Casa de Alegría will serve as a place of hope, encouragement, and practical support for the community.
Our theme verse for this project is Jeremiah 31:13:
“Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.”
This verse reflects our prayer for Isla La Calzada—that God would bring comfort, hope, and joy to children and families through Casa de Alegría. In addition to serving children, the project will create jobs and provide valuable skills training, strengthening the community for years to come.
We believe this “House of Joy” will be a shining light in El Salvador, sharing the hope of Jesus with future generations.
Will you join us? The program will run from June 1, 2026 - May 31, 2027. Give online here or mail checks to WPA District Of C&MA, P.O. Box 395, Punxsutawney, PA 15767. Make the check payable to WPA District of C&MA and designate that it is for “Casa De Alegria”.
For more information on any of the resources available to help you promote the project, please contact Meredith Bratton at brattonm@cmawpa.org.
Missionary Wheels
Missionary Wheels provides our Western PA Alliance Missions Workers with a car when they are in the United States on home assignment.
Car ownership is difficult when it’s only for one year! So we provide a reliable vehicle at a low cost!
Alliance Missions Worker’s pay for auto insurance, gasoline and general maintenance. Missionary Wheels covers the cost of major repairs, tires, and replacing vehicles.
