SonLight Power — Organization Profile
SonLight Power is a Christian nonprofit solar energy ministry that equips people living in energy poverty with the love of Jesus and solar power for transformative, lasting impact. The ministry describes its work as “solar energy for good,” using renewable power as a practical way to serve vulnerable children, families, churches, schools, medical clinics, orphanages, community centers, and communities that lack reliable electricity.
The organization is based in Milford, Ohio, near Cincinnati, and serves communities in Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean, the United States, and other regions affected by energy poverty. SonLight Power states that it has equipped communities in 19 countries, completed more than 280 solar projects worldwide, and empowered an estimated 1 million lives through solar energy partnerships.
SonLight Power designs and builds solar energy systems for community venues such as schools, medical clinics, orphanages, community centers, churches, and water-pumping stations. These projects often bring electricity to places where reliable power has been unavailable or unaffordable. The ministry connects solar power with access to education, wellness, clean water, economic development, emergency preparedness, and renewed hope.
The ministry’s approach is designed to build local capacity rather than dependency. SonLight Power uses a blend of in-country and U.S.-based volunteers, experienced solar installers, engineers, mission partners, and community members. Its teams install systems while also training residents and partner organizations to understand, maintain, and care for the systems over time. This model reflects the ministry’s emphasis on sustainable energy solutions, practical training, and long-term community empowerment.
SonLight Power also multiplies its impact by equipping other mission organizations. Through project development, consulting, mission teams, Solar School, partnerships, and capacity-building efforts, the ministry helps churches, nonprofits, and mission agencies evaluate and implement solar solutions for their own work. Its experience includes more than 20 years of service and more than 260 designed projects, with many located in Latin America and Africa.
People can engage with SonLight Power by praying, giving, joining a mission trip, sponsoring a project, attending Solar School, volunteering, interning, subscribing to updates, or contacting the team about solar for a mission, church, school, or community project. Its distinct contribution is combining Christian witness, renewable energy expertise, mission partnerships, volunteer mobilization, and local training to help communities move from energy poverty toward sustainable power and hope.

Public nonprofit listings describe its purpose as receiving charitable funds to operate a small Bible seminary in Jamaica and to provide benevolence to Jamaican churches associated with the seminary.
The organization’s core focus is leadership and Bible training for preachers, elders, deacons, and teachers serving Churches of Christ and Christian Churches in Jamaica. Jamaica Bible Seminary states that it exists to equip and empower Christ-centered leaders through sound biblical education, spiritual formation, and practical ministry training. Its work is directed toward developing servants who faithfully proclaim the gospel, disciple others, and impact their communities, Jamaica, and the world for the glory of God.
Jamaica Christian Services USA serves from Lakeland, Florida, while supporting ministry in Jamaica through Jamaica Bible Seminary and related church work. The seminary’s public materials describe work among churches across the island and identify support for minister training, church assistance, mission teams, storm relief, vacation Bible school efforts, and community aid. Its reported impact includes churches started, students trained, church buildings supported, preacher support, VBS students served, and Jamaican graduates trained for ministry.
The organization operates through charitable support, seminary training, mission teams, scholarships, and church-related projects. Its website invites donors to help cover tuition, board, meals, and travel for minister training, support churches where trained ministers serve, sponsor volunteers in Jamaica, assist with disaster relief, and contribute to construction or community projects. Mission volunteers may include ministers, teachers, tradespeople, professionals, and laypeople who bring skills for teaching, VBS, construction, and community service.
A distinctive part of Jamaica Christian Services USA’s work is supporting Jamaican Christian leaders so they can serve churches and communities within their own cultural context. The ministry’s model emphasizes training and equipping ministers rather than replacing local leadership. Jamaica Bible Seminary also describes a commitment to academic excellence, spiritual integrity, and preparation for leadership marked by wisdom, compassion, and faith in Jesus Christ.
People can engage with Jamaica Christian Services USA by giving financially, sponsoring minister training, supporting mission expansion, helping fund volunteer mission teams, assisting with disaster relief, praying for Jamaica, or contacting the organization directly.

His Hands Construction Inc., presented publicly as HIS Hands Construction Mission, is a Christian nonprofit based in Richwood, Ohio. The organization provides construction-related mission service and hands-on job training, with a stated concern for helping people see good works and glorify God, drawn from Matthew 5:16.
The organization’s core focus is providing on-the-job construction training and practical mission support for individuals in developing-country contexts. Its website describes a commitment to high-quality service, strong client relationships, punctuality, and the hiring and training of local Hondurans. The ministry emphasizes competitive pay, hands-on training opportunities, and practical skill development in the construction industry.
His Hands Construction Inc. is based in Richwood, Ohio, with ministry activity publicly connected to Honduras and planned expansion needs connected to Panama. Its missions page identifies several mission team areas, including chiropractic, education, construction, general service, and medical outreach. These categories show a broader mission-team model that includes practical care and community service alongside construction work.
The organization operates through project-based construction service, local worker training, and mission teams.

Eye Doc in a Box — Organization Profile
Eye Doc in a Box is a Christian medical missions organization that equips mission teams to provide basic vision care in places where access to professional eye services is limited. The ministry describes its mission as empowering individuals with the skills and tools needed to provide quality eye care in challenging third-world environments while also offering spiritual aid and sharing the love of Christ.
The organization’s core focus is training laypeople and mission teams to conduct eye clinics using the Eye Doc in a Box method of vision testing. Its model is designed for short-term missions and developing-country contexts, where teams may need a practical way to identify whether people need reading glasses, distance glasses, or other basic support. Eye Doc in a Box states that its broader vision is for vision testing to become a regular part of Christian mission trips.
Eye Doc in a Box is publicly connected with Watkinsville, Georgia, through its mailing address, and its work is directed toward developing countries worldwide. The organization serves churches, mission teams, and communities where people may lack access to eyeglasses and routine vision screening. Its materials also reference global outreach, underserved communities, and medical mission settings where vision care can open doors for both practical service and spiritual encouragement.
The ministry operates through training seminars, refraction kits, and support materials. Its FAQ describes Eye Doc in a Box as an intensive one-day medical missions seminar lasting eight hours. Its services page says teams may request on-site or Zoom training, receive refraction kits after completing training, and purchase material kits that include a mix of eyeglasses and supplies for mission use. The organization emphasizes that its training is focused on the limited scope of eye care typically provided on mission trips, such as prescribing glasses and treating acute infections, rather than comprehensive eye examinations.
A distinctive part of the organization’s approach is combining physical vision care with spiritual support. Eye Doc in a Box describes its services as including training seminars, eye clinics, and spiritual support, with prayer, fellowship, and gospel-centered ministry alongside practical eye care. The organization also points to Dr. David Curtis’ extensive medical mission experience as part of the background for its training model.
People can engage with Eye Doc in a Box by requesting training, refraction kits, material kits, sunglass kits, or supply kits through its contact page. The organization asks mission teams to provide details such as mission trip dates, number of people needing training, and the number of kits needed. Supporters can also give online, donate by mail, or request information about Zelle giving through the contact page.

Con Mis Manos Deaf Ministry is a non-denominational Christian nonprofit serving Deaf people and their families in northeastern Mexico. The name means “With My Hands,” and the ministry focuses on education, evangelism, vocational training, and practical support for Deaf children, teens, and adults. Its vision is that Deaf people and their families will experience the truth of God’s love and understand his gift of salvation.
Con Mis Manos is based in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, just across the border from Brownsville, Texas. Its U.S. mailing address is in Brownsville, and the ministry operates under the financial guidance of Workers for Mexico Mission. The ministry serves Deaf individuals and families in northeastern Mexico, especially in the Matamoros border region where public education, medical access, legal services, and community support for Deaf people may be limited.
The ministry’s work began in 2003 under the leadership of Workers for Mexico Mission. Con Mis Manos exists to address spiritual, educational, social, and practical needs among Deaf people who often face isolation, discrimination, and lack of communication within their families and communities. Its FAQ materials note that Matamoros has an estimated 1,800 to 2,000 Deaf individuals with limited public education or opportunities.
Con Mis Manos operates through several connected ministry areas. It provides Deaf-led church services, discipleship training, evangelistic outreach, Mexican Sign Language-based education, and vocational training. Its programs are designed for Deaf individuals of all ages, and the ministry states that it welcomes children, teens, and adults into its activities because every person has value, purpose, and the right to learn.
The ministry also provides support services for Deaf individuals and their families. These include a medical clinic, clothing pantry, food pantry, counseling, legal advocacy, and safe housing for those in need. Vocational training and practical workshops help Deaf adults develop skills for employment and community participation. Con Mis Manos also uses media outreach, including the short film project Te Estoy Hablando, to highlight the isolation experienced by Deaf children, teens, and adults and to encourage churches to serve alongside Deaf Christians.
People can engage with Con Mis Manos by praying, giving financially, sponsoring a student, sponsoring a teacher, following updates, contacting the ministry, or serving through visiting teams and work projects. The ministry is donation-based, receives no government aid from the United States or Mexico, and directs designated gifts to field ministry through Workers for Mexico Mission.

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.

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.
