• Love Loud

    What does it mean to Love Loud? It means loving neglected and hurting people as Jesus did—and pointing them back to Him as the source and ultimate author of that love. It means a daily commitment from churches and individuals to connect mercy ministries with missional living in support of church planting and church strengthening. Ultimately, it's about integrating the Great Commandments of Christ in Matthew 22:36-40—to love God and love others.

    Explore the opportunities in this section to see how you and your church can Love Loud through ministry evangelism, and stay tuned for new opportunities being developed as part of NAMB's Send North America national strategy.
