Mission

POEM coordinates unity meetings between interested members of local congregations, publishes a quarterly magazine promoting Christian unity for the sake of world evangelism, One Body, informs its supporters with a monthly 4-page news report, The Knowlesletter and travels to Christian churches, religious conventions, and family camps to promote the mission of POEM. Internationally, POEM sends financial aid to Christians and churches in Poland. This all is done primarily by Victor Knowles and will be transitioning to Lincoln Knowles from our offices in Joplin, MO. Funding is primarily by donations.
