Rescued Not Arrested — Organization Profile
Rescued Not Arrested is a 501(c)(3) Christian nonprofit prison ministry that exists to reach incarcerated people and their loved ones with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Great Commission. The ministry serves youth and adults in jails, prisons, correctional facilities, and re-entry settings through Bible distribution, evangelistic outreach, testimony, chaplain support, and volunteer service.
The organization is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and serves incarcerated people and families across Arizona, the United States, and international ministry locations. Its public materials describe work with county jail facilities, the Arizona State Juvenile Correctional Department, chaplains nationwide, and mission outreach connected to countries including Belize, China, Costa Rica, Kenya, Kerala India, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, and Zimbabwe.
Rescued Not Arrested’s ministry began from the story of founder Roger Munchian, who developed a passion for outreach to people in jail and prison after his own experience of incarceration and spiritual transformation. The organization’s message emphasizes that people can be “rescued” through Christ rather than defined by arrest, conviction, or incarceration. Its work is aimed at both the incarcerated and the loved ones who carry fear, grief, and uncertainty outside prison walls.
A central part of the ministry is providing English and Spanish NIV Bibles and NIV Life Application Study Bibles to inmates and chaplains free of charge. Rescued Not Arrested states that it provides Bibles upon request from inmates and chaplains nationwide, with Life Application Study Bibles connected to completion of a nine-lesson correspondence Bible study through American Bible Academy. The ministry also provides Bibles to jail and juvenile correctional settings and has supplied chaplains with large quantities of Scripture resources.
Rescued Not Arrested also serves through re-entry support, facility outreach, baptisms, testimony sharing, volunteer service, and practical care. Its re-entry program is connected with Arizona 2nd Chance programs in state, federal, and county facilities, providing resources for inmates preparing for release. The ministry also notes that it provides prescription eyeglasses and eye exams for inmates needing vision screening.
People can engage with Rescued Not Arrested by donating, volunteering, supporting Bible distribution, serving through approved prison outreach opportunities, participating in ministry events, praying for incarcerated people and families, or contacting the ministry about chaplain requests and service opportunities. Its distinct contribution is a Gospel-centered prison ministry that combines Scripture distribution, correctional facility outreach, re-entry support, testimony, international missions, and practical care for incarcerated people and their loved ones.

New Life International — Organization Profile
New Life International, also known as NLI, is a Christian nonprofit ministry focused on bringing safe water and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people in need through practical technology and ministry partnerships. Since 1998, the organization has used water purification systems and related innovations as tools for physical care, evangelism, and community service.
The ministry is based in Underwood, Indiana, and serves communities in more than 80 countries worldwide. Its work is especially directed toward places where unsafe water affects children, families, schools, orphanages, medical clinics, hospitals, prisons, villages, and remote communities. New Life International works with missionaries, pastors, church leaders, volunteers, and partner organizations who identify needs and help deploy solutions.
New Life International’s core solution is a patented water purification system that uses table salt, water, and a 12-volt battery to produce disinfectants that make unsafe water safe for drinking. The organization states that one purifier can serve up to 1,000 people in a community and that its systems can be used in schools, orphanages, medical clinics, and homes. Missionaries, pastors, and church leaders may come to the Underwood campus for a free one-day training on placement and installation.
The ministry has also expanded beyond its original purifier. Its Innovation Center develops additional technologies connected to water treatment, automated purification, wound care, and disinfectants. New Life International describes these tools as part of a wider effort to improve physical and spiritual well-being while supporting Gospel access in communities that may not otherwise have reliable resources.
New Life International’s wound care and disinfectant work uses its purification technology to produce hypochlorous acid for communities with limited access to sterile bandages, safe water, and medical clinics. The ministry also provides manuals in multiple languages and offers training resources for water purification system use and maintenance. These tools support practical deployment in varied field settings.
People can engage with New Life International by donating, volunteering, praying, learning about church partnership, requesting information, or helping assemble and support water purification systems. Volunteer opportunities listed by the ministry include assembling portions of the NLI Water Purification Systems, inventory, grounds maintenance, and ambassador roles. Its distinct contribution is combining water technology, innovation, training, and Gospel partnership to serve communities with both safe water and Christian witness.

Mushayamunda Christian Foundation is a Christian nonprofit ministry focused on sharing the Gospel through practical care for children, widows, schools, and village communities. The organization describes its mission as making the goodness and grace of Jesus visible through tangible action, combining evangelism with support for physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
The foundation has a U.S. nonprofit presence in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, while its ministry story and program work are rooted in Matsai, Bikita, Zimbabwe, and surrounding communities. Its work especially emphasizes the wellness of orphans and widows, along with support for children whose education and daily life are affected by poverty, hunger, and limited resources.
Mushayamunda Christian Foundation operates through a holistic ministry model. Its public materials describe a focus on accountability, compassion, responsibility, and love for the community. Rather than separating Christian witness from practical service, the foundation seeks to demonstrate the Gospel through food support, education sponsorship, water access, sustainable gardens, sports outreach, and community development.
One of the foundation’s core areas is education support for children and development of local schools. The ministry states that it supports and sponsors children’s education, and it points to sponsored students who have graduated from the program. Its food program addresses children arriving at school hungry, providing nourishment intended to help students remain engaged in school and church life. The same food ministry also includes care for widows, meeting immediate needs while offering emotional and relational support.
The foundation’s wellness and development work includes several practical programs. The Food Program supports children and widows. The Water Ministry is presented as part of its community development work. The Garden Ministry teaches villagers sustainable ways to grow crops, especially where food access is affected by drought. The Sports Ministry reflects the organization’s effort to use youth activities and community gathering points as part of broader care and outreach.
People can engage with Mushayamunda Christian Foundation by donating, volunteering, sponsoring children’s education, contacting the ministry about partnerships, and praying for its work among children, widows, schools, churches, and villages. Its distinct contribution is a village-focused Christian ministry that connects evangelism, education, food, water, gardening, sports, and widow care in Zimbabwean communities.

Christ For the City International (CFCI) is an international mission organization focused on urban ministry, local leadership, and holistic community transformation. Its mission is summarized in the phrase “Transforming Cities by Transforming Lives,” and the organization describes its work as partnering with local leaders to share the love of Jesus worldwide.
CFCI is based in Omaha, Nebraska, where its international office is located. Its ministry extends across Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mali, Nicaragua, Peru, Zimbabwe, the United States, and other locations. The organization reports workers across 16 countries and dozens of cities, with most staff serving as local or national missionaries in their own countries.
The ministry’s core focus is developing local ministry bases that address both spiritual and practical needs in cities. CFCI’s ministries include discipleship, youth outreach, medical care, education, community development, vocational training, children’s programs, feeding centers, gang ministry, health and dental clinics, and other locally shaped outreach efforts. Each ministry base is designed to understand the needs of its community and develop programs with local leaders, churches, educators, businesspeople, and partner ministries.
CFCI’s operating model emphasizes national leadership and long-term presence. The organization states that lasting transformation happens when people within a community are empowered to lead the work themselves. For that reason, most of its missionaries are nationals serving in their own countries, bringing cultural understanding and long-term commitment to local ministry.
The organization also provides mission opportunities for churches, groups, families, and individuals. CFCI offers short-term mission experiences, U.S.-based Urban Plunge trips, international Global Teams, Global Ambassadors extended trips, and long-term missions. Its mission trip process includes orientation, ministry projects, debriefing, and service alongside long-term national missionaries.
People can engage with Christ For the City International by praying, giving to the Transformation Fund, supporting a missionary or project, serving on a short-term or long-term mission team, connecting with a missions director, donating a vehicle, or following ministry updates through CFCI’s blog and social channels.
