A group of Sudanese evangelical church leaders met in March of 2004 to formulate a plan to begin the process of restoration in the lives of their people after more than two decades of devastating war. These leaders believed that the Lord and His Church held the only hope for a New Sudan. During this meeting, an organization was birthed – Sudan Evangelical Alliance or, SEA. Shortly thereafter, SEA Partners was established in the United States to support the goals of these pastors and church leaders. SEA Partners exists to stand along side the SEA to offer financial, educational and spiritual support as part of God's plan in bringing new life and restored hope to the people of Sudan.
The mission of SEA Partners is to empower the Sudan Evangelical Alliance and its denominational members for cooperative evangelistic efforts and united actions for spiritual and social transformation of the Sudanese people.
Tapestry is a community of families and individuals that are connected in some way or another by the common bonds of adoption and foster care. They are couples who have traveled the road of infertility; they are couples and singles alike who have felt God’s call to adopt or foster; thry are families with children who look like their parents and families with children who do not; they are families whose members represent birth countries and cultures from five continents; they are families whose members speak different languages; they are those who are in the waiting process; they are those whose wait has just recently come to an end; they are adoptive families and foster families – and the list goes on.
In the end, they are families just the same, and believe that God is doing something truly remarkable among us as He forms families and transforms lives through the miracle of adoption. Tapestry is a ministry of Irving Bible Church.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation."
- 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (NIV)
