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.

World Gospel Outreach — Organization Profile
World Gospel Outreach is a Christian mission organization focused on serving and evangelizing children and the poor. Its stated vision is “Impacting the faith of Christ followers through serving and evangelizing children and the poor.” WGO describes its work as rooted in biblical mandates to care for the poor, share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and meet the needs of others in accountable Christian service.
The ministry serves in Honduras and Belize, with a U.S. office in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and ministry headquarters at Casa de Esperanza in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. World Gospel Outreach began ministry in Honduras before expanding into Belize in 2014. Its work brings North American volunteers together with Honduran and Belizean staff, missionaries, local churches, and ministry partners.
WGO operates through several ministry areas, including Rancho Ebenezer, Tegucigalpa Serve Teams, Belize Serve Teams, Relief and Development, and WGO Kids child sponsorship. Rancho Ebenezer is a family-based children’s community in the mountains near Tegucigalpa for at-risk Honduran children. The ministry provides safe homes, education, counseling, Christian mentorship, vocational development, and preparation for independent adulthood.
Through its Tegucigalpa and Belize serve-team ministries, WGO works with local churches and communities to meet practical needs while sharing the gospel. Teams may participate in medical, dental, and optical care, water-filter installation, concrete floors, home and church projects, food distribution, Vacation Bible School, children’s ministry, relational discipleship, and evangelism. In Honduras, WGO describes long-term relationships with local evangelical churches that host serve teams and help facilitate outreach in their communities.
The organization’s Relief and Development ministry strengthens local churches by helping meet physical and spiritual needs in Central America. Relief work includes clean water, shelter, medical outreach, food distribution, and church-related construction. Development work includes pastoral training and support, small-business development, microfinance, biblical entrepreneurship courses, and vocational-skills training intended to help participants grow spiritually and move toward greater stability.
People can engage with World Gospel Outreach by joining a serve trip, sponsoring a child through WGO Kids, giving to ministry projects, supporting a specific missionary, participating in church partnerships, joining the newsletter, praying for the work, or supporting the WGO Coffee Club connected to Rancho Ebenezer. WGO also lists career opportunities and service roles for people interested in longer-term ministry involvement in Honduras, Belize, or stateside support.

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.

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.

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.

Sonlight Ministries — Organization Profile
Sonlight Ministries is a Christian mission serving Port-de-Paix, Haiti, through Gospel-centered education, church ministry, student sponsorship, community outreach, and missionary service. The ministry exists to reach and train Haitian people to reach and train others for the Kingdom of God by effectively communicating the Gospel through education, lifestyle, and words.
The ministry is based in Port-de-Paix, Haiti, with U.S. financial correspondence handled through Evansville, Indiana. Its work serves Haitian children, families, students, church members, teachers, and community contacts in Port-de-Paix, La Pointe, St. Louis du Nord, and the surrounding region of northwest Haiti. Sonlight’s vision is to see generations transformed for God through education and to equip graduates as servant-leaders with a biblical worldview.
Sonlight Ministries began when Roger and Norma Alexander moved to Haiti in 1983 to train and teach church leaders. In 1986, they started a preschool class in their living room with four children, teaching all subjects in English and making Bible a central part of each day. That early class grew into Sonlight Academy, an English-immersion Christian school that now serves students from preschool through twelfth grade.
Sonlight Academy is one of the ministry’s central programs. Students receive academic instruction, Bible teaching, English-language education, French instruction, and Christian worldview formation. The academy describes its graduates as trilingual in Creole, English, and French, and it emphasizes that education can open wider career and college opportunities while also influencing families spiritually.
Sonlight Church grew out of the school community so students, staff, and families could receive consistent biblical teaching. The church now serves the Port-de-Paix community through worship, Sunday school, and pastoral ministry under Haitian leadership. The ministry has also included Sonlight Bible College, which operated from 2004 to 2021 and graduated more than 120 students, some of whom became involved in new church plants in the region.
People can engage with Sonlight Ministries by giving, sponsoring a student, praying, visiting with a group, applying for long-term missionary service, subscribing for updates, or contacting the ministry about employment and service opportunities. Its distinct contribution is a long-term Port-de-Paix ministry that connects Christian education, local church life, student sponsorship, leadership development, community outreach, and Haitian-led Gospel witness.

Remember the Children — Organization Profile
Remember the Children, also known as RTC, is a Christian ministry focused on transforming lives and communities through leadership development, church planting, and orphan care. The organization works with local leaders and churches to care for vulnerable children, strengthen communities, and share the hope of Christ through long-term ministry relationships.
The ministry is based in Noblesville, Indiana, and its work is centered primarily in Romania, with additional ministry connections in Tanzania and Ukrainian refugee relief. Remember the Children describes Romania’s orphan and vulnerable-child crisis as requiring more than institutional support; its approach also includes strengthening local leaders and planting churches in underserved areas so communities can care for their own people more effectively.
Remember the Children’s orphan care work emphasizes family-based homes rather than institutional orphanage care. Children placed in RTC homes live with committed house parents and receive food, housing, medical care, education, biblical mentorship, church involvement, and long-term relational support. Through sponsorship, supporters help provide children with practical care and spiritual encouragement in a home environment.
Church planting is another major part of RTC’s strategy. The ministry states that churches serving children can reach entire villages, because care for children creates trust with families and community leaders. Through church-based programs, children receive school support, tutoring, homework help, school supplies, snacks, Bible lessons, and opportunities to participate in Vacation Bible School and other Gospel-centered activities.
Remember the Children also invests in leadership development for pastors, ministry leaders, and future leaders. Its ministry overview describes mentoring current and future leaders, investing in biblical education, and hosting leadership trainings. This work is designed to strengthen local churches and equip leaders who can guide communities spiritually and practically.
People can engage with Remember the Children by sponsoring a child, giving, praying through the ministry partner prayer guide, participating in mission trips, supporting church engagement, leaving a legacy gift, supporting Tanzania ministry, or contributing to Ukrainian refugee relief. Its distinct contribution is a Romania-focused ministry model that connects orphan care, church planting, leadership development, sponsorship, and short-term mission engagement for long-term community transformation.

This staffing structure reflects Psalm 82:3 Mission’s emphasis on local care, Liberian leadership, and sustainable community impact rather than short-term intervention alone.
Psalm 82:3 Mission invites churches, businesses, schools, families, and individuals to become partners in the work. Partnership options include student education support through Gatekeeper giving, staff support through Armor Bearer giving, full foster care sponsorship through Protector giving, and larger project support through Champion giving.

Pinehaven Christian Ranch — Organization Profile
Pinehaven Christian Ranch is a Christ-centered ranch ministry that provides experience-led discipleship for young adults through faith formation, meaningful work, practical skills, and community life. Founded in 1976, Pinehaven has long used its ranch setting to help young people grow in faith, character, responsibility, and purpose.
The ranch is located in St. Ignatius, Montana, in the Mission Valley at the base of the Mission Mountains, about 40 miles north of Missoula. Its current programs serve young adults ages 18–24, while the ministry’s history includes residential work with young people from across the United States and other countries. Pinehaven is an adjunct ministry of The First Christian Church of St. Ignatius, a nondenominational Church of Christ.
Pinehaven’s current ministry centers on its Gap Programs. These programs combine discipleship, hands-on learning, ranch work, and community living. The Explorer Program is an 8-week introduction designed for students who want to grow in their relationship with Christ, develop confidence, gain practical skills, and discern next steps. The Apprentice Program offers extended discipleship, deeper training, increased responsibility, and more individualized growth.
The ranch setting is central to Pinehaven’s approach. Students participate in daily work and skill-building through ranch projects, trade experiences, teamwork, and community responsibilities. Pinehaven’s facilities include residential homes and apartment housing, a chapel and school building, kitchen and dining hall, gymnasium, recreation center, swimming pool, horse barn, livestock facilities, woodshop, sawmill, auto shop, welding shop, and blacksmith/leather shop. The ranch also includes cattle, horses, chickens, and ducks.
Pinehaven describes its goal as helping young men and women build a long-term foundation of faith, discover their God-given worth, and gain the skills needed to become responsible, hardworking people of integrity.

People can engage with Pinehaven Christian Ranch by applying for the Gap Program, visiting the ranch, joining a work group or mission trip, praying, giving, helping with material needs, or serving alongside staff and students. Work groups may help with firewood, haying, gardening, building projects, repairs, equipment restoration, trail maintenance, and other seasonal ranch needs.

The ministry describes its purpose as taking the Gospel to native villages, making disciples, establishing congregations, and meeting physical needs through practical community development. Its tagline, “Living Water for the Healing of Nations,” reflects the organization’s combined emphasis on evangelism and service.
David’s Well was founded in Panama in 1987 by Juan Rodriguez from the Dominican Republic and Paul Daniel Crosley from the United States. The ministry’s main headquarters is connected with La Iglesia Cristiana in David, Panama, and its U.S. nonprofit support is connected with Noblesville, Indiana. Its work serves villages and communities across Panama and Costa Rica, especially coastal and mountain areas where churches, schools, health clinics, water systems, and other basic resources are needed.
The mission’s strategy is to address immediate needs while building relationships for long-term spiritual ministry. David’s Well states that villages often face urgent needs related to health, housing, water, and education. As those needs are addressed, ministry workers and volunteers introduce villagers to Jesus, plant seeds of faith, and support the growth of local congregations and leaders.
David’s Well’s ministry areas include fresh water systems, healthy homes, medical clinics, schools, small production centers, sustainable agriculture, church buildings, pastor training, and college student support. Projects have included aqueduct systems, windmills, deep wells, storage tanks, wood homes with metal roofs, school buildings where the Panamanian government provides teachers, medical clinics where volunteer teams offer free care, and agricultural training for rice production and other local needs.
Leadership development has been part of the mission from its early years. David’s Well states that its founders developed Bible Institutes to train Christian leaders, with more than 50 leaders sent to Central America and the Caribbean to preach the gospel, establish congregations, and make disciples. The ministry continues to work with pastors and leaders through Bible teaching, support, prayer, encouragement, and congregational development.
People can engage with David’s Well by praying, giving financially, joining a mission trip, supporting building and community projects, providing teaching or medical help, donating toward student support, or helping churches and teams serve in Panama. Mission teams commonly raise funds for both travel and project materials, and David’s Well uses local support staff to guide teams before and during service in Panama.

The ministry serves children ages 5–17 from across the United States who have experienced challenges such as family instability, school truancy, homelessness, poor peer relationships, abuse, or neglect.

The organization’s public tagline is “Helping the Arab World Find Jesus,” and its work centers on spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the Arab world through church planting, leadership training, Christian literature, and benevolent service.
CAS is connected with ministry in Egypt and the Arab world, with support and donations handled through Ormond Beach, Florida. Its history is closely tied to Safaa Fahmi, who served for decades in Assiut, Egypt, before moving to Cairo to expand education, publishing, and village ministry. CAS describes Egyptian Christians as designing and implementing the educational and benevolent work, while the U.S.-based ministry serves as a helper through funding, teachers, and counsel.
The ministry serves Christian villages, churches, students, leaders, children, widows, orphans, and poor communities. CAS notes that Christian villages near major Egyptian cities may include thousands of people who have little access to basic Christian teaching, literacy resources, or practical support. The organization’s work includes training leaders, planting churches, printing Bibles and commentaries, running Vacation Bible School programs, operating training centers, teaching literacy and cooking classes, holding marriage seminars, and providing food, blankets, clothes, and medicine.
Education is a major part of CAS’s strategy. The organization reports that students from seven countries have studied in its seminar programs, with extension campuses in El-Minia, Sohag, Assiut, and Northern and Southern Sudan. Its leadership training is supported through teachers, seminar programs, and partnerships that strengthen Arabic-speaking Christian leaders for local ministry.
CAS also supports Christian publishing in Arabic. One major project is the Arabic Bible Commentary, a planned 50-volume commentary assembled by Safaa Fahmi with Arabic-speaking Egyptian scholars and writers. The project is designed as a commentary by and for Arabic-speaking people, with many Old Testament and New Testament volumes already in print and remaining volumes still awaiting publication.
People can engage with Christian Arabic Services by praying for the Arab world, giving online or by check, subscribing to the newsletter and prayer points, supporting a village, sponsoring a student through Hope International University, contributing to the Arabic Bible Commentary project, or participating in a custom-designed mission trip. Mission trip opportunities may include children’s work, women’s seminars, seminars for Christian leaders, literacy training, education, benevolence, medical help, or other ministry needs in Egypt.
