Who We Are
ABWE is a family of ministries and operates in the United States as Association of Baptists for World Evangelism, Inc, ABWE, ABWE Foundation LLC, ABWE International, ABWE North America, EveryEthne, Good Soil Evangelism and Discipleship, and Live Global.
ABWE has its international headquarters in the United States but works in over 84 countries.
We may need to disclose your information to other locations in certain circumstances with your consent as our locations in other countries may be the best place to manage the relationship and provide you with any necessary support.
For example, if you provide financial support or participate in service opportunities for an ABWE project or activity in one of our international locations, elements of your personal data may be shared with the relevant ABWE location in that country in accordance with this policy. We will only share your details with another location in accordance with data protection laws and regulations and where we have your consent to do so. Other locations may legally be required to share data in accordance with their relevant domestic legislation and potential law enforcement requirements.

Every such email includes an opportunity to opt out of future communications.
