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.

HOPE2 — Organization Profile
HOPE2 is a Christian nonprofit ministry based in Muncie, Indiana, serving internationally through mission trips, long-term local partnerships, pastoral training, education, medical care, agriculture, and safe water initiatives. Its public theme is “Ministry is never bigger than the ONE person in front of you,” emphasizing personal relationships and gospel-centered service.
The organization’s core focus is sharing the love of Christ through practical care, relationship-building, and gospel witness among communities with urgent physical and spiritual needs. HOPE2 states that when God says “go,” it goes, and when God says “put down roots,” it puts down roots. Its mission is shaped by the Great Commission and by the belief that educational, medical, relational, and practical ministry should lift high the name of Christ.
HOPE2 serves from Muncie, Indiana, with home bases in Liberia and Uganda. The ministry has also taken teams or sent resources to places such as Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Thailand, Kenya, and Honduras. In Liberia, HOPE2 has a Liberian-staffed school, clinic, and church, along with the Hope Center campus. In Uganda, the ministry is developing a Hope Center as roots are being established there.
The organization operates through several connected ministry areas. Its water work distributes safe water filtration systems and supports wells and water projects. Its education work includes Hope Academy in Liberia, teacher training, and ministry to children and youth. Its medical work addresses simple but serious needs such as malaria, parasites, and basic community healthcare. Its agriculture work includes Farming God’s Way training, helping communities learn to grow food and develop sustainable practices.
A distinctive part of HOPE2’s work is combining safe water, education, medical care, agriculture, pastoral training, and mission-team service as avenues for long-term relationships and gospel ministry. Since 2006, HOPE2 has trained pastors in Africa, and its 54TEN initiative aims to conduct pastoral training in all 54 African countries over 10 years. The ministry describes training leaders as another way of “watering the thirsty” by strengthening those who are helping others.
People can engage with HOPE2 by giving financially, donating physical items, joining a mission trip, subscribing to updates, praying, attending events, using the For Reel virtual mission trip, or inviting HOPE2 to speak. Mission teams may distribute water filtration systems, invest in children, teach doctrinal truths to church and community leaders, and serve local people in Liberia, Uganda, and other places where the ministry is invited to go.
