Uzima Clean Water Mission — Organization Profile
Uzima Clean Water Mission is a clean-water ministry and nonprofit-focused water filtration organization that works with donors, NGOs, government entities, and other nonprofit partners. Uzima’s mission is bringing clean water to the world through affordable, durable, and practical filtration solutions designed for communities that need safe drinking water. The organization states that it believes no one deserves to drink dirty water and connects clean water with health, economic opportunity, gender equity, and improved quality of life.
Uzima Clean Water Mission is connected with Uzima Water Filters and is publicly listed with contact operations in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Its story began through work in Kenya, where founders Bill and Chat Coble sought an economical and effective solution for rural communities facing unsafe water. As interest grew from groups working in Kenya, throughout Africa, and around the world, Uzima Clean Water Mission was formed to serve NGOs, government entities, nonprofit organizations, and donors, while Uzima Filters handles retail operations.
The organization serves vulnerable communities, ministry partners, humanitarian organizations, aid agencies, and nonprofit groups working in Africa and other global regions where clean water access is limited. Uzima’s public materials describe filters that are easy to use, designed for use around the world, and do not require electricity. This makes the filtration systems useful in rural villages, disaster response settings, community development projects, and places where water infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable.
Uzima’s core work is providing household, community, portable, and disaster-response water filtration solutions. Publicly listed products include the UZ-1 Household Water Filter, UZ-2 Complete Water Filtration System, UZ-BP Backpack Water Filter, UZ-XL Large Capacity Water Filter, Z-Source water bottle, and D-Prep Disaster Relief Kit. The organization also offers special discounts for nonprofits and volume purchasers, reflecting its emphasis on organizational partnerships and larger-scale clean-water deployment.
The filters use Hollow Fiber Membrane technology, which allows water molecules to pass through while filtering out biological contaminants larger than 0.1 microns, including bacteria, cysts, and protozoa. Uzima also emphasizes durability, fast filtration, simple maintenance through backflushing, and serialized QR codes that help partners track filter distribution and household-level data. Its materials state that the UZ-1 filters 99.9999% of bacteria that cause waterborne disease.
People can engage Uzima Clean Water Mission by donating, purchasing filters, requesting a custom quote, partnering through a nonprofit or humanitarian organization, or contacting the team about clean-water projects. Donors can support general clean-water work, disaster relief, and specific clean-water initiatives through Uzima’s online giving platform. Churches, ministries, NGOs, and community-development organizations can use Uzima’s resources to provide practical clean-water access in settings where unsafe water threatens health and daily life.

Vida Nueva Ministries — Organization Profile
Vida Nueva Ministries is a Christian nonprofit ministry serving communities in Mexico with the stated mission of “Breaking the Cycle of Poverty and Disadvantage Through Christ.” The ministry exists to help people develop a personal relationship with Jesus while operating practical programs that address physical, social, educational, and spiritual needs. Its work combines outreach, Christian education, church planting, leadership development, benevolence, and discipleship.
The ministry’s roots are in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, where Jair and Norma Castillo began serving in the mid-1970s after moving into the El Ejido community. Vida Nueva Ministries formally opened in 1989 as an open meal program and children’s home serving people living near the city dump and children facing severe poverty. Over time, the ministry adapted its programs as community needs changed while continuing its emphasis on relational ministry and gospel-centered service.
Vida Nueva serves Mexico, with ministry locations and partnerships connected to Piedras Negras, Tepic, Acapulco, Cancún, and Puebla. Its programs are designed to create “relationship bridges” through which staff and local leaders can share the love of Christ. The ministry describes itself as an independent Christian ministry rather than a social agency, with practical outreach intended to support people while pointing them toward deeper spiritual hope and discipleship.
A major focus of Vida Nueva’s work is Christ-centered education and child sponsorship through the Life For Them Program, also called LIFT. The ministry has operated education programs in Piedras Negras, including preschool, elementary, middle school, and high school development. LIFT sponsorships help students with limited resources attend VNM schools or support outreach efforts such as open meal programs and food distribution.
Vida Nueva also works through church planting, church leadership development, open meal programs, medical care, food distribution, recreation, vocational skills training, and discipleship. Its outreach page describes church plants in Piedras Negras, Cancún, Tepic, and Acapulco, along with a commitment to planting reproducing churches throughout Mexico. The ministry also connects with Rio Bravo Christian Ministries, which has served border communities and works to strengthen churches, make disciples, and continue outreach in the region.
People can engage with Vida Nueva Ministries by praying, giving, sponsoring a student, joining a short-term mission trip, or contacting the ministry about church planting and outreach needs. Mission teams may serve at locations such as Piedras Negras, Tepic, Acapulco, or Cancún. Donations can support general ministry needs or specific locations, while sponsorships help students and children participate in ministry programs connected to education and open meals.

Village Missions — Organization Profile
Village Missions is a Christian mission organization focused on helping country churches thrive by placing full-time missionary pastors in rural communities. The ministry exists to glorify Jesus Christ by developing spiritually vital country churches, especially in small towns and rural areas where congregations may otherwise struggle to secure pastoral leadership or remain open.
Founded in 1948, Village Missions serves rural North America, including the United States and Canada. Its work centers on local churches that invite Village Missions to provide pastoral leadership. The organization places spiritually qualified missionary-pastors in these congregations, where they preach, teach, provide pastoral care, and build relationships across the wider community.
The ministry’s model is built around long-term pastoral presence in small-town and country churches. Village Missionaries are not sent only to lead Sunday services; they are expected to become part of the life of the community through home visits, Bible studies, youth and adult activities, Vacation Bible Schools, discipleship, and other local ministry opportunities. Many also serve in civic and community roles such as coaching, teaching, volunteering, or helping with local needs.
Village Missions operates through a support structure that includes recruiting, equipping, sending, and caring for missionary pastors and interns. District Representatives visit and encourage missionaries, while staff conferences provide ongoing training and refreshment. The organization also supports future rural ministry leaders through internships, pastoral application pathways, and leadership-development efforts such as the Contenders Discipleship Initiative and Rural Ministry Leadership resources.
The ministry is based in Dallas, Oregon, with additional Canadian leadership connected to Village Missions Canada. Its church-locator resources identify Village Missions churches across numerous U.S. states and Canadian provinces, reflecting the organization’s emphasis on preserving a gospel presence in rural communities throughout North America.
People can engage with Village Missions by praying, giving, becoming a prayer partner, subscribing to Country Matters Magazine, applying for an internship, applying to serve as a Village Missionary pastor, sponsoring Vacation Bible School, supporting specific missionaries or projects, or connecting through strategic rural ministry resources. Churches and ministry leaders can also learn through Village Missions’ rural ministry websites, conferences, books, and leadership-development materials.

White Fields Overseas Evangelism — Organization Profile
White Fields Overseas Evangelism is a Christian missions organization established to spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ to every nation. The ministry takes its name and focus from John 4:35 and Luke 10:2, emphasizing the biblical image of fields ready for harvest and the need for workers to go into that harvest. Its stated approach is non-denominational in structure and patterned after the New Testament church.
The ministry was founded by Reggie Thomas, who dedicated his work to overseas evangelism with the goal of taking the Great Commission seriously across national and cultural boundaries. White Fields describes its work as reaching the world with the good news that Jesus brings eternal life in relationship with the one true God. Its ministry identity includes evangelism, church planting, teaching, prayer for unreached peoples, and practical care for vulnerable children.
White Fields Overseas Evangelism is publicly connected with Joplin, Missouri, and describes its work as international in scope. Its website lists ministry activity in many countries and regions, including Haiti, India, Liberia, Cuba, Uganda, Antigua, the Philippines, and other nations. The organization emphasizes support for native or national evangelists who can work within their own cultural settings, often with fewer resources than foreign missionaries would require.
A central part of the ministry’s strategy is supporting native evangelists and helping plant churches in unreached nations, villages, and peoples. White Fields states that it partners with evangelists, matches them with sponsors, and encourages prayer and monthly support. The ministry also provides resources such as sermons, articles, International Bible School lessons, Muslim teaching lessons, newsletters, and a World Prayer Map focused on reached and unreached nations.
White Fields also includes White Fields Orphanage Ministries, a children’s ministry connected to the organization’s overseas work. The ministry’s official materials describe orphanage support in countries such as Haiti, India, and Liberia. This work has included feeding, housing, educating, and caring for children through partner homes and orphanage ministries, alongside the evangelistic and church-planting focus of the organization.
People can engage with White Fields Overseas Evangelism by praying for unreached nations, supporting national evangelists, giving toward ministry work, using its teaching and prayer resources, contacting the ministry about opportunities to help, or partnering with White Fields Orphanage Ministries. The organization’s “What Can I Do?” materials encourage Christians and churches to select nations for prayer, identify contacts, support evangelists, and help launch new churches where no New Testament church is present.

WISE Missions — Organization Profile
WISE Missions is a Christian ministry focused on equipping leaders for the churches of the Caribbean. Formerly known through its long-running work as Windward Islands School of Evangelism, WISE exists to help evangelize Caribbean societies and encourage growth toward spiritual maturity through the development of leaders for the church. Its current ministry emphasizes teaching, encouragement, and equipping rather than a residential degree program.
WISE is publicly connected with Carl Junction, Missouri, and its ministry work is directed toward Caribbean churches and leaders. The ministry’s history began in St. Lucia in 1979, followed by many years of Bible college ministry in St. Vincent from 1980 to 2015 and Barbados from 2015 to 2025. Students came from the English-speaking Caribbean and Haiti, and WISE reports more than 300 graduates serving churches in at least 12 countries.
Beginning in 2025, WISE adopted a new ministry model: going to churches in the Caribbean rather than hosting students in one central location. This shift allows the ministry to continue its historical mission while focusing more directly on the needs of local congregations. WISE describes the advantages of this model as focusing on specific church needs, remaining flexible across multiple countries and ministry situations, and partnering with God’s people in Caribbean churches.
WISE now offers training retreats, theme classes, online studies, and church collaboration. Training retreats provide brief periods of teaching and fellowship in various countries. Theme classes are week-long learning opportunities on selected topics. Online studies offer short instruction in biblical and practical subjects, and church collaboration allows WISE to participate in conferences, seminars, and other activities with local churches.
The ministry serves individual church members, church leaders, and congregations seeking practical biblical training. Individuals may attend classes or retreats when offered in their church or area, join online studies, and encourage others to participate. Church leaders may work with WISE to assess specific needs in their congregation, schedule a training retreat or theme class, and invite members to take part in available learning opportunities. WISE states that individuals may participate in any class or study it offers at no charge.
People can engage with WISE Missions by praying for its activities, giving financially, contacting the ministry about training opportunities, or participating in a traveling church team. WISE notes that teams may help with Caribbean trips by leading Vacation Bible School for children while training sessions are underway or by supporting other aspects of training retreats. Churches interested in trip opportunities are encouraged to contact WISE directly for dates, venues, responsibilities, and other details.

The ministry describes its work as a loving outreach that includes evangelism, preacher training, children’s ministry, camps, clinics, feeding programs, construction, maintenance, student homes, and support for Christian education.
The organization is based in Grayson, Kentucky, and serves throughout Mexico. Workers for Mexico traces its roots to the ministry of Clinton Looney, who began missionary work in Mexico in 1961. In 1996, Looney began turning mission functions over to Mexican leaders in key cities and asked Francis Nash and Pam Nash to serve as stateside director and forwarding agents so the work could continue and expand into new areas.
Workers for Mexico operates by supporting Mexican ministers and evangelists in churches across multiple states of Mexico. Its website describes support for more than 50 ministers in churches in 13 Mexican states, along with benevolent works connected to children, students, churches, and communities. The ministry emphasizes the role of national workers and local congregations rather than building its work around U.S.-based personnel.
The ministry’s program areas include Con Mis Manos Deaf School and Center, camps, feeding programs, a medical clinic, student homes, Mexican Christian University in Querétaro, extension and correspondence courses, and construction projects. Current and past construction needs listed by the ministry include church buildings, classroom space, repairs, sanctuaries, parsonage work, and recreation areas in communities such as Nuevo Laredo, Monclova, Matamoros, Reynosa, Guadalajara, Saltillo, Monterrey, Apodaca, and Veracruz.
Short-term worker teams may also participate in the mission’s work in Mexico, especially through construction, children’s ministry, and special church programs. Workers for Mexico notes that Spanish-language ability is helpful for team members and that skilled laborers are needed to lead and supervise construction projects. The ministry asks interested churches to contact the office for trip details and scheduling information.
People can engage with Workers for Mexico Mission by praying, giving, supporting a minister, adopting a church or individual through monthly support, helping with construction needs, donating toward vehicles for ministers, sending short-term worker teams, or requesting information for a church mission committee. The ministry states that designated gifts go to the Mexico mission field, national workers, missionaries, or mission efforts selected by donors.
