Psalm 82:3 Mission — Organization Profile
Psalm 82:3 Mission is a Christian nonprofit organization working to defend the weak and fatherless by empowering communities through foster care and sustainable community resources. The ministry takes its name from Psalm 82:3 and applies that biblical call through long-term care for vulnerable children, families, and communities in Liberia.
The organization is based in Lexington, Kentucky, and its field work is focused in Grand Bassa County, Liberia, West Africa. Psalm 82:3 Mission is developing 50 acres into a safe, Christ-centered children’s village and sustainable community center. Its public materials describe daily work among hundreds of children through foster care, education, medical care, agriculture, and church and community outreach.
Psalm 82:3 Mission’s model centers on five target areas: Foster Care, Church & Community, Education, Medical, and Agriculture. The foster care program provides safe homes and loving care for children. The education work includes Defenders Christian Academy, which the organization has expanded from primary education toward middle school. The medical work includes King Jesus Children’s Clinic, while agriculture and business initiatives are intended to support long-term sustainability and local income generation.
The ministry also employs a large Liberian staff team organized across departments including administration, foster care, education, medical care, church and community outreach, social work, agriculture, grounds, security, and transportation. 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. The ministry also describes mission trips, meal packing events, collection drives, student scholarships, church presentations, special events, and prayer partnerships as ways to participate.
People can engage with Psalm 82:3 Mission by praying, giving, joining a mission trip, connecting the ministry with a church or school, supporting foster care and education, helping with needed supplies, sharing updates, or partnering through recurring support. Its distinct contribution is a Christ-centered foster care village and sustainable community center in Liberia that integrates child protection, education, medical care, agriculture, local employment, and church-based outreach.

David’s Well — Organization Profile
David’s Well is a Christian mission organization serving indigenous and rural communities in Panama and neighboring parts of Central America. 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.

Asia Pacific International is a Christian mission organization focused on transforming lives and communities in Southeast Asia through church-centered service, education, livelihood training, health initiatives, and disaster relief. The organization is also identified as Asia Pac International and Asia Pacific International–A Christian Mission. Its public materials describe the ministry as a nonprofit that exists to help communities improve quality of life by teaching practical skills that allow people to thrive.
The organization is based in Thousand Oaks, California, and serves communities in Southeast Asia, with historic ministry connected especially to Indonesia. Asia Pacific International’s history traces back to the late 1960s, when Chuck and Nanci Wingerner responded to a call to bring the good news to Indonesia. The ministry states that it has served Southeast Asian communities for more than 50 years, with thousands of lives affected through its work.
Asia Pacific International’s work includes education programs that support online learning, early academic and character-building skills, and computer skills for youth. These efforts are designed to help children and young people gain foundational abilities that can strengthen future opportunities. The ministry’s educational approach is practical and community-oriented, connecting learning with long-term community development rather than limiting service to short-term aid.
The organization also works in livelihood development. Its public materials list micro-business education and training, sustainable agriculture, animal business opportunities, culinary and sewing skills for women, and technology skills for men. These programs reflect a strategy of equipping local people with usable skills that can support families, encourage local enterprise, and increase resilience in under-resourced communities.
Health and relief are also part of Asia Pacific International’s ministry. The organization identifies medical clinics and disaster relief among its areas of impact. These efforts are presented as part of a broader mission to serve practical needs while strengthening communities. The ministry invites supporters to contact its team for more information about partnership and ongoing work in Southeast Asia.
People can engage with Asia Pacific International by praying for its work, giving financially, contacting the ministry for more information, and exploring partnership opportunities.
