As we come together to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Alliance World Fellowship, we rightly give thanks for the remarkable work that God has done through the Global Alliance family. From small and humble beginnings—and in faithful dependence on the Spirit of God (Zech. 4:6)—the Alliance has grown to include more than 6.7 million members worldwide.

By every measure, the worldwide Alliance family has remained faithful to the mission to which it has been called.
