Global Network Membership Standards
The CAFO Global Network serves global leaders of local networks in nations around the world. Each network is unique and at a different level of development. All networks must affirm a Shared Vision and show commitment to fiscal integrity, good governance and Gospel-centered ministry. CAFO staff and current network members stand ready to help networks grow to meet these shared standards.
