The Radical Freedom Movement — Organization Profile
The Radical Freedom Movement is a Christian women’s ministry that provides Bible study material, teaching, writing, and public speaking for women’s events. The ministry’s stated purpose is to empower and equip women with the life-giving truth of God’s Word so they may break the chains of false teaching and embrace abundant freedom in Christ through absolute surrender to His Lordship.
The ministry serves Jesus-loving women seeking a more intimate walk with Christ through Bible-centered teaching and study resources. Its public materials emphasize women’s spiritual formation through Scripture, surrender, identity in Christ, and freedom from false teaching. The organization’s stated audience is women, including individuals, small groups, and women’s ministry settings that use Bible studies or invite teaching for events.
The Radical Freedom Movement operates primarily through written Bible study resources, online teaching content, blog posts, and speaking ministry. Its website presents the theme “Radical Freedom through Radical Surrender,” with goals that include calling women to abandon false teaching, cling to God’s Word alone, and return to total surrender to Christ’s Lordship. The ministry frames freedom not as self-direction, but as a result of yielding control to Christ and allowing Scripture to shape belief and practice.
A central resource connected with the ministry is Through the Savior’s Eyes, a Bible study series by Shawna Tinch. The first volume is described as a study designed to help readers discover the biblical truth of who they are in Christ, who God created them to become, and the meaning and purpose that gives to life. The ministry’s book page also lists Through the Savior’s Eyes Volume 2 as available through The Christian Restoration Association bookstore.
The ministry is led by Shawna Tinch, who is identified publicly as Founder and Executive Director. Her ministry background includes decades of writing and teaching women’s Bible studies, public speaking for women’s events, and coaching discipling relationships that encourage older women to teach younger women in the Lord. Her biography also notes study through Kentucky Christian University and Summit Theological Seminary, along with long-term connection to the Restoration Movement.
People can engage The Radical Freedom Movement by using its Bible study resources, reading its blog, subscribing to its mailing list, inviting Shawna Tinch for women’s public speaking events, contacting the ministry through its website, praying for the work, or supporting the ministry financially through its listed PayPal and Venmo giving options. Churches and women’s ministry leaders can also connect with the organization for teaching that focuses on Scripture, surrender, identity in Christ, and faithful discipleship.

Its public calendar includes trainings and debriefings in Joplin, Missouri; Conception, Missouri; Atlanta, Georgia; and Proem, Poland, reflecting both stateside and international ministry settings. The organization serves people preparing to go overseas, workers already on the field, and missionaries navigating transition, furlough, reentry, or long-term ministry stress.
The organization’s core focus is equipping churches and global workers with practical tools for sustainable mission service. Its Orient Pre-Field Training prepares cross-cultural workers to adapt to culture, work well with others, manage stress, understand team dynamics, maintain spiritual vitality, and thrive on the field. The training includes classroom instruction, group discussion, and experiential learning, including a wilderness component through a partnership with Discovery Ministries in Eminence, Missouri.
TRAIN also provides Abide Debriefing for missionaries and families who need space to process field experiences. These group debriefings and retreats help adults and children reflect on gains, losses, expectations, stress, and transition while connecting with other cross-cultural workers. The organization offers stateside debriefing as well as Abide Abroad, giving missionaries structured support when returning, transitioning, or serving during high-stress seasons.
For churches, TRAIN offers Envision Church Missions Consulting, a process designed to help congregations clarify missions vision, evaluate strategy, strengthen global outreach, and care well for workers they send and support. Consulting modules include Vision and Strategy, Caring for Global Workers, Short-Term Missions, Engaging Internationals, and Sending Church.

Training Tomorrow’s Leaders — Organization Profile
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders, often abbreviated T.T.L., is a 501(c)(3) Christian missions organization registered in the United States. The ministry exists to facilitate the planting of new churches in western Africa by financially supporting indigenous church planters, training indigenous church planters, and facilitating projects that enable new churches to be planted. Its public materials describe the work as “Expanding the Kingdom together” through church planting and missions in West Africa.
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders is based in McConnelsville, Ohio, and its ministry work is focused in northern Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso. The organization serves unreached people groups, local churches, indigenous church planters, pastors, evangelists, lay leaders, children, and communities in areas where gospel access and basic social resources may be limited. The ministry states that it works among unreached people groups, including groups in Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso.
The organization’s core ministry is church planting among unreached people groups through trained indigenous leaders. T.T.L. reports that it has planted churches in multiple regions of Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso and that its workers include college-trained church planters, college-trained preachers, and lay helpers. Its history traces the work to 1991, when the first church planter was sent out after training and financial support through partner churches.
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders also emphasizes training and discipleship for pastors, evangelists, church planters, lay leaders, and helpers. The ministry organizes seminars and provides training in both literary and non-literary methods of evangelism and discipleship. Because some communities include high levels of illiteracy, T.T.L. uses oral methods to help communicate the gospel and disciple believers. The organization also identifies Charis School of the Bible and Missions as part of its effort to develop future church planters and missionaries.
Beyond church planting and training, T.T.L. works through community development and children’s ministry. Its public materials describe assistance with school fees, medical costs, small-business grants, agricultural projects, schools, clothing, and wells for safe drinking water. The ministry also trains children’s ministry leaders, organizes Vacation Bible School programs, provides materials for children’s ministry, and starts Christian schools in West African communities with the aim of raising students who can serve their communities.
People can engage Training Tomorrow’s Leaders by praying, giving, volunteering, fundraising, contacting the ministry, or helping share its work with churches and families. The organization states that it depends on partnership to support church planters, training, community development, and children’s ministry efforts. Supporters can give through the ministry’s website or contact T.T.L. directly to learn about volunteer opportunities, events, and ways to help expand the work.

Truth for Today World Mission School — Organization Profile
Truth for Today World Mission School (TFTWMS) is a Christian nonprofit dedicated to world evangelism by equipping preachers, teachers, and students with structured Bible-study resources. The ministry is based in Searcy, Arkansas, and it describes its work as a “multi-language printed preacher’s school” designed to strengthen teaching and discipleship where dependable study materials can be difficult to access.
A central emphasis of TFTWMS is producing and distributing printed, in-depth Bible teaching materials for use in local churches and ministry settings. The organization explains that experienced missionaries have long recognized how the survival and spiritual growth of young congregations can depend on access to quality printed study resources, and TFTWMS exists to help meet that ongoing need through lessons and course materials prepared for preaching and teaching.
TFTWMS publishes a monthly resource called Truth for Today, which the organization describes as a primary focus of its mission-school work. Alongside printed materials, TFTWMS also maintains Biblecourses.com, a large library of lessons intended to support personal study and teaching preparation. The site includes thousands of lessons in multiple languages and provides topical and book-by-book studies designed to be used by individuals, congregations, and teachers.
In 2015, TFTWMS launched ThroughTheScriptures.com, an online Bible school that provides courses covering nearly all books of the Bible in multiple languages. TFTWMS describes these courses as thorough, text-based studies (often hundreds of pages in length) intended for serious learners, missionaries, and training contexts. This online approach complements the organization’s long-standing printed distribution by expanding access for students who can study digitally.
Taken together, these efforts reflect a strategy of multiplication: developing resources that can be used repeatedly by local teachers and preachers in their own cultural settings. TFTWMS notes that its materials are used broadly—supporting ministry work across many nations worldwide—with a focus on training and encouragement that helps local Christians teach others faithfully.
People and churches can engage with TFTWMS by praying for the work, sharing its study platforms, and supporting the ministry financially. The organization provides multiple giving options and notes that it is funded by donations from individual Christians and congregational support, with its director serving on a volunteer basis while traveling to report on the mission and encourage participation.

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.

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.

Educational support includes school placement, monitoring academic progress, tutoring, and communication with teachers.
The ministry also provides Christian counseling, emotional support, and treatment planning for children in care. Its program includes individual and group counseling, weekly treatment-team reviews, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT approaches.

Workers for Mexico Mission is a Christian mission organization focused on taking the gospel of Christ to the people of Mexico through national evangelists, church planting, and benevolent ministry. 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.

World Bible School (WBS) is a nonprofit evangelism and discipleship ministry that helps everyday Christians share Jesus through interactive Bible studies. WBS describes its mission as “to share Jesus with the world by motivating and equipping a global network of Christians to use interactive Bible studies effectively.” Its tools are built to connect truth-seekers with volunteer “Study Helpers” who encourage, guide, and walk with students through Scripture.
WBS offers multiple pathways for study and teaching. Traditional Postal lessons allow one-on-one correspondence teaching through the mail, while WBS also supports Online lessons through its web and app platforms. WBS emphasizes that these approaches can be used by individuals or congregations as practical ways to participate in Great Commission outreach and to build relationships that lead to local connections and further discipleship.
A distinctive part of WBS’s international teaching strategy is Ocean Bridge, a system designed to teach international students without relying on unreliable postal systems. Ocean Bridge uses scanning and service-center support to speed up lesson exchange and increase follow-through for printed-lesson students in targeted regions. WBS also promotes Mathetis, a group-based platform designed for studying Bible courses together online, helping churches and small groups create shared learning environments.
WBS supports churches with additional evangelism resources and stories that encourage ongoing outreach. The ministry publishes ACTION!, described as its flagship publication, sharing updates, tips, and testimonies connected to WBS tools and global impact. WBS also points users to a digital library and other resources intended to strengthen Bible teaching, personal study, and congregational evangelism planning.
Leadership communication and updates are part of how WBS keeps its network connected. WBS publishes regular “President’s Update” communications from its president, Brian Rex Davis, and highlights ongoing efforts to expand tools, translations, and international partnerships. WBS also provides clear “how to start” onramps for churches and individuals who want to begin teaching—whether through postal correspondence, online study, or Ocean Bridge.
World Bible School is based in Cedar Park, Texas, and serves a global network of churches and volunteer Study Helpers who connect with Bible students in many countries. People can engage with WBS by enrolling as a student, applying to become a Study Helper, starting a church-based teaching effort, using Ocean Bridge or Mathetis for group study, and supporting the ministry through giving.

World Christian Broadcasting (WCB) — Organization Profile
World Christian Broadcasting (WCB) is a Christian nonprofit that uses shortwave radio broadcasting to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with people in places where broadcast media can be the most effective way to reach listeners. WCB states its mission this way: it exists so that people “in places best served by broadcast media” become aware of the gospel and want to know more.
WCB’s operations center is based in Franklin, Tennessee, where programming is produced and coordinated for a wide-reaching broadcast network. From there, the organization supports transmission infrastructure and international production teams to deliver Bible-focused content across the globe, including into regions where access to Christian resources can be limited.
A distinctive feature of WCB’s model is its reliance on shortwave radio, which the organization describes as valuable for reaching remote areas and for crossing borders where other media may be restricted or difficult to access. WCB operates and maintains transmission facilities that keep broadcasts running daily, emphasizing both the technical side (antennas, towers, power generation) and the content side (language services and producers).
WCB identifies two primary broadcast stations. KNLS (“New Life Station”) in Anchor Point, Alaska broadcasts worldwide using shortwave antennas, while MWV in Mahajanga, Madagascar transmits programming that reaches Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. WCB’s history page notes that KNLS began broadcasting in 1983 (initially in Russian and Chinese), and MWV began broadcasting in 2016 on Easter Sunday, reflecting an expansion from one station to a two-station global footprint.
Programming is developed in multiple language services. WCB’s site highlights language work including Africa, Arabic, Chinese, English, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, supported by senior producers and teams who shape content for specific audiences. Along with on-air broadcasting, WCB also provides ways for supporters and churches to connect with the ministry through visits, tours, and giving options.
People can engage with WCB by praying for its broadcast teams, supporting station operations financially, and inviting WCB leadership to speak to congregations and groups. Because WCB’s reach depends on both technical reliability and ongoing content creation, partnerships help sustain the ongoing work of maintaining facilities, producing programs, and keeping broadcasts active around the clock.

WEI’s model is built around a teacher–student relationship. Students enroll for free, work through lessons online at their own pace, and are paired with a volunteer teacher who reviews submitted work and provides encouragement. WEI describes this approach as a way for Christians to participate in missions from home, using the organization’s teaching platform to connect with learners from many nations.
Alongside its online learning site, WEI publishes regular updates and newsletters that highlight its work and share stories from students and teachers. The ministry also provides courses at multiple levels (elementary, intermediate, and advanced) and supplemental lessons, with certificates and diploma milestones described as part of its learning pathway. WEI emphasizes that the Bible reading components are integrated into the English lessons, aiming to place Scripture in front of students who may not otherwise engage it.
Administratively, WEI lists two primary offices and notes local church oversight connected to those locations. The organization identifies a Gresham, Oregon office (at Metro Church of Christ) and a Maryville, Tennessee office (at Maryville Church of Christ), reflecting an operational footprint that supports participation across the United States and internationally through the internet-based program.
People can engage with WEI by enrolling as students, registering as volunteer teachers, sharing the program with their congregations or communities, and supporting the ministry financially through its published giving options. For churches seeking a practical way to build outreach relationships, WEI positions its English-and-Bible lesson structure as a scalable tool that can be used for local ministry or global connection.

Zambia Mission Fund — Organization Profile
Zambia Mission Fund (ZMF) is a Christian nonprofit that supports ministry work centered at Namwianga Mission near Kalomo in Zambia’s Southern Province. The organization describes its purpose as revealing Jesus through education, humanitarian service, and Christian leadership, with Namwianga serving as a long-established hub where multiple ministry efforts operate side by side.
From its U.S. base in Abilene, Texas, Zambia Mission Fund connects churches and supporters to the day-to-day needs of Namwianga’s ministries. The work includes education and leadership development, health care, radio broadcasting, orphan care, and community support services, with a stated aim of combining practical help with spiritual care and encouragement.
Education is a core emphasis at Namwianga. Zambia Mission Fund highlights a secondary school that shapes future leaders, along with additional training pathways such as a college of nursing and teacher preparation. These programs are designed to equip students for service and long-term impact in their communities, strengthening both local congregations and broader civic life through trained professionals and Christian leaders.
Health care is another key focus through Namwianga Mission Hospital, which the organization describes as offering medical services alongside spiritual support such as chapel gatherings and Bible-based counseling. In addition to campus-based care, Zambia Mission Fund supports Zambia Medical Mission, a mobile clinic effort that travels from Namwianga into rural villages in the Southern Province to provide short-term clinics in areas that may not have local medical, dental, or optometric services.
Zambia Mission Fund also supports outreach through Namwianga Christian Radio Station (90.5), which broadcasts in both Tonga and English. Programming includes Bible reading, preaching, music, news, and informational content related to topics like health, education, and Christian family life—an approach that recognizes radio’s reach in communities where television and internet access can be limited.
Care for vulnerable children is woven into the overall ministry footprint through orphan care, including The Haven for infants and young children and Eric’s House for older boys and teens. Beyond direct care, ZMF also provides multiple ways for individuals and churches to engage, including giving to specific ministries, supporting “where needed most,” and participating through its annual gift catalog and other giving tools that help sustain Namwianga’s ongoing work.
