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 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.

SeedPlayer — Organization Profile
SeedPlayer is a Christian nonprofit project of Resources for the Blind International that makes simple, low-cost solar mp3 players for abundant sowing of Gospel seed. The ministry partners with other organizations to reduce the cost of audio Bibles and Gospel content so Scripture and discipleship resources can reach people who may not have regular access to printed materials, digital devices, reliable electricity, or literacy-based learning.
The project is connected with Knoxville, Tennessee, and operates through a geographically dispersed, all-volunteer team. SeedPlayers have been used in Cameroon, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, East Africa, East Asia, Ethiopia, former Soviet republics, Ghana, Guatemala, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, North Africa, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Asia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Ukraine, the United States, Vietnam, and Zambia.
SeedPlayer’s ministry model is built around collaboration. The organization does not sell players for personal use. Instead, it works with like-minded people, churches, and ministries to source, assemble, format, and load players for specific outreach projects. Its parent organization maintains oversight of gifts, and the all-volunteer structure helps keep costs low for Gospel distribution projects.
The SeedPlayer device functions like a small audio “bookcase” with shelves for ministry-specific content such as Old Testament, New Testament, evangelistic materials, Gospel music, teaching, testimonies, and other mp3 resources. It includes an internal speaker, optional earbuds, solar and USB charging, an 8GB microSD card, and four-level navigation for shelf, book, chapter, and page movement. These features are designed for private listening, small groups, and field settings where printed materials or internet access may not be practical.
SeedPlayer also helps ministry partners use audio content from multiple Bible and Gospel resource providers. Publicly listed content sources include BibleProject, Davar Partners, Digital Bible Library, Faith Comes By Hearing, Global Recordings Network, Inspirational Films, Institute for Bible Translation, Jesus Film Project, Oral Bibles, Songs for Saplings, and Word of God Speak Ministries. The organization notes that these sources allow SeedPlayers to carry Gospel audio content in many languages.
People can engage with SeedPlayer by praying, giving, requesting the newsletter, contacting the team about a collaborative project, helping with expertise or resources, and supporting projects for groups such as blind disciple-makers, soldiers, hospitalized people, international students, refugees, and language communities receiving newly dedicated Scripture. Its distinct contribution is low-cost, solar-powered Gospel audio distribution designed for broad, flexible use among people who need Scripture and Gospel resources in accessible audio form.

Its audio ministry provides monthly audio cartridges with devotionals, magazine articles, Christian books, and ministry updates recorded by volunteers.

Herald of Truth — Organization Profile
Herald of Truth is a missions and ministry-support organization focused on reaching Spanish-speaking communities with the gospel of Jesus and strengthening churches through practical resourcing and leadership development. Founded in 1952, the ministry frames its work around a long-term “100 by 100” vision: planting 100 Spanish-speaking churches across the U.S. and Latin America by its 100th anniversary in 2052, while also tracking ongoing church-planting progress and partnerships.
The organization’s home office is in Abilene, Texas, and its ministry scope spans Spanish-speaking communities in the United States and across Latin America. Herald of Truth emphasizes partnership with churches and believers through giving, internships, mission trips, and collaboration with other ministries—aiming to combine evangelism, training, and support in ways that local congregations can sustain.
Herald of Truth organizes its current work into three main ministry focuses. First, MESA (Mission: Evangelize Spanish America) is designed to resource, connect, and train Hispanic ministries—especially within the U.S.—through media and leadership development. The ministry describes goals such as equipping Spanish-speaking believers for evangelism, engaging communities with creative and professional tools (including customized media and web resources), and educating church leadership for cross-cultural ministry initiatives.
Second, Herald of Truth supports holistic, local-church-centered work in Honduras. The ministry describes its Honduran efforts as walking alongside churches to meet both spiritual and practical needs, including gospel outreach and projects such as building homes for families living in poverty. Through these partnerships, local congregations are supported as they serve their communities with compassion and courage.
Third, Herald of Truth focuses on strengthening the church in Cuba by providing biblical resources, training, and encouragement for ministers working under challenging conditions. The ministry highlights long-standing partnership and church-planting efforts connected to work in Matanzas province, alongside continued outreach through radio programming and follow-up Bible studies. In each context, Herald of Truth positions its role as coming alongside local leaders so the church can serve faithfully and share the hope of Christ with clarity.
People can engage with Herald of Truth by donating, joining mission trips, applying for internships, and using its resource library and newsletters to stay connected with ongoing work. For churches seeking to expand Spanish-language outreach, MESA represents a structured pathway for resourcing and consultation, while Honduras and Cuba offer opportunities for teams and supporters to participate in sustained, relationship-based ministry.
