We serve by engaging volunteers and directing resources to support a variety of international activities through our Global Mission Committee. This committee is organized into task forces: Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, Middle East & Latin America.
A special emphasis of Global Mission is a focus upon mutual ministry, emphasizing the importance of enhancing and communicating the spiritual dimension of witness and outreach while working in development and relief activities abroad through each of our Task Forces.

A Uganda Mission was launched in 2001 at a Mission Forum event where BHPC member, Edith Mafabi, shared her personal vision and the vision of a rural community of Eastern Uganda. Bradley Hills responded by partnering with the community by sending, over a period of two years, five members to strengthen an interfaith connection with the community, to improve the general health status and to promote a variety of development activities. Thus far we have:
-
Organized with community members to design and complete a maize mill building and operation for improving nutrition and easing family economic burdens;
-
Conducted a health needs assessment survey of two sub-counties needing a clinic;
-
Mapped the availability and status of existing health servicesin the area;
-
Assisted to build local capacity by helping to register a new community development associationas well a widow’s association;
-
Supported income generating projects through a gift of sewing machines and raising of animals;
