As a part of one human family, we seek to build relationships with communities beyond our own.
For more than 30 years, we have poured our hearts into relationships with the people of Duff, a small, rural town in Tennessee. Globally, we partner with our two Diocese Companion relationships in Costa Rica and Botswana.
