The Church Orphan Ministry Initiative (COMI) Advisory Council includes leaders from many of the strongest and most innovative church-based orphan ministries nationwide. Each council member leads not only in their own church ministry, but also in helping to grow church orphan ministries across the U.S. and beyond. Together, the Council provides thought leadership and implementation aid to COMI and other key Alliance initiatives.
