Collective Calling is committed to addressing the pressing issues of homelessness in Spain and supporting street children in Tanzania.
Our mission in Tanzania, is to provide comprehensive assistance, empowerment, and long-term solutions to children affected by homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion.
In Spain, our mission is to help bring dignity back to our homeless friends via our Mobile Sanitary Unit.
“Our vision is a world without homelessness, where everyone has a secure and supportive home.”
We believe in God, the Creator of all, and in Jesus Christ, His Son, who is fully God and through whom all things were created. Jesus, by His death and resurrection, offers forgiveness of sins to all who believe, bringing redemption and reconciliation with God. Through His grace, we are freed from guilt and empowered to live lives of purpose in service to others. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we are committed to sharing the message of Christ’s divinity, forgiveness, and hope, serving the vulnerable, and reflecting His love in all that we do.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
