Our Mission and Distinctives

Our Mission

The mission of the Paul Carlson Partnership is to catalyze the growth of self-sustaining families and communities in places of deep poverty in Central Africa. Working together with partners in Africa and elsewhere, we invest in local efforts in health care, economic development, and education.

Distinctives of the Organization

Leaders of F2M Training in Congo We work in the economically poorest places with people who are rich spiritually and socially.

We work toward sustainability, building both economic and human resources on the ground.

We work from relief towards development, recognizing the core problem presented by deep poverty and identifying strategies to address it.

We work in and through partnerships--with individuals and communities on the ground, with other organizations, with churches, and with volunteers and donors.

We work in Central Africa, believing that our history in Congo had prepared us for future involvement in neighboring countries with similar cultural and economic contexts.

Our work grows out of and is motivated by the Christian faith of our founders and the current board and staff. Independently incorporated and governed, we are affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church.
