The mission of the Scharpen Foundation is to promote the principles of Christianity through a combination of training, education, mentorship, consulting, encouragement and prayer. The Foundation has a three-fold approach to fulfill its mission: 1. Help existing Christian organizations to be more effective in their operations so they can better serve their member community 2. Provide resources and sponsor independent Christian events (e.g., seminars, Bible studies, conferences) to help individuals in their walk with the Lord 3. Help to empower Christians to go out and share the Gospel message of Jesus Christ while helping their local community
