Africa Fire Mission — Organization Profile
Africa Fire Mission (AFM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on increasing the sustainable capacity of fire departments in developing communities. Founded after firefighter Dave Moore encountered the challenges facing fire brigades in Kenya, AFM brings together fire-service professionals, volunteers, local leaders, governments, nonprofits, schools, and other partners to strengthen emergency response and fire prevention. The organization is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, while its primary ministry and development work is carried out with fire services and communities across Africa.
AFM describes its work through four priorities: train, empower, support, and encourage. Training includes firefighting, emergency medical services, leadership, incident command, fire investigation, vehicle extrication, community fire prevention, first aid, and other subjects identified with local partners. The organization also uses Community Health Education principles to help firefighters and community members develop practical fire-safety knowledge. AFM's development model emphasizes community ownership, local leadership, multiplication of skills, partnerships, and long-term sustainability rather than dependence on outside teams.
Africa Fire Mission currently identifies work in Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, Ethiopia, and Sierra Leone. Its approach seeks relationships with fire-service organizations, community organizations, and government leaders within the places it serves. In addition to professional training, AFM develops fire-safety curriculum and assessment resources and provides usable personal protective equipment, communication tools, and other firefighting equipment. Its Fire Safety! with Tochi and José resources provide contextualized fire-prevention education for African audiences, while other initiatives address first aid and Active Bleeding Control.
Christian faith is also present within AFM's work. Its organizational model describes human dignity in terms of people being made in the image of God, and mission-trip training information notes that Bible studies and devotions are offered to firefighters who are interested in participating. AFM combines this faith-informed perspective with professional fire-service training and locally led capacity development. The organization works with both career and volunteer firefighters and emphasizes building the ability of local departments and communities to continue training, prevention, and emergency-response efforts themselves.
People can engage with AFM through several avenues. Firefighters, EMTs, leadership trainers, and other qualified volunteers can apply for mission trips that provide hands-on training alongside African first responders. Supporters may also volunteer with organizational projects, provide financial gifts, sponsor aspects of the work, or donate clean and serviceable firefighting equipment that meets AFM's requirements. Recurring and one-time donations help fund its programs, and AFM also accepts certain non-cash gifts. Those interested in serving can review current mission opportunities and application requirements through the organization's website.

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.

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.

CMI is connected with leadership in Arizona and serves mission workers across 110 countries.
