SeedPlayer — Organization Profile
SeedPlayer is a Christian nonprofit project of Resources for the Blind International that makes simple, low-cost solar mp3 players for abundant sowing of Gospel seed. The ministry partners with other organizations to reduce the cost of audio Bibles and Gospel content so Scripture and discipleship resources can reach people who may not have regular access to printed materials, digital devices, reliable electricity, or literacy-based learning.
The project is connected with Knoxville, Tennessee, and operates through a geographically dispersed, all-volunteer team. SeedPlayers have been used in Cameroon, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, East Africa, East Asia, Ethiopia, former Soviet republics, Ghana, Guatemala, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, North Africa, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Asia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Ukraine, the United States, Vietnam, and Zambia.
SeedPlayer’s ministry model is built around collaboration. The organization does not sell players for personal use. Instead, it works with like-minded people, churches, and ministries to source, assemble, format, and load players for specific outreach projects. Its parent organization maintains oversight of gifts, and the all-volunteer structure helps keep costs low for Gospel distribution projects.
The SeedPlayer device functions like a small audio “bookcase” with shelves for ministry-specific content such as Old Testament, New Testament, evangelistic materials, Gospel music, teaching, testimonies, and other mp3 resources. It includes an internal speaker, optional earbuds, solar and USB charging, an 8GB microSD card, and four-level navigation for shelf, book, chapter, and page movement. These features are designed for private listening, small groups, and field settings where printed materials or internet access may not be practical.
SeedPlayer also helps ministry partners use audio content from multiple Bible and Gospel resource providers. Publicly listed content sources include BibleProject, Davar Partners, Digital Bible Library, Faith Comes By Hearing, Global Recordings Network, Inspirational Films, Institute for Bible Translation, Jesus Film Project, Oral Bibles, Songs for Saplings, and Word of God Speak Ministries. The organization notes that these sources allow SeedPlayers to carry Gospel audio content in many languages.
People can engage with SeedPlayer by praying, giving, requesting the newsletter, contacting the team about a collaborative project, helping with expertise or resources, and supporting projects for groups such as blind disciple-makers, soldiers, hospitalized people, international students, refugees, and language communities receiving newly dedicated Scripture. Its distinct contribution is low-cost, solar-powered Gospel audio distribution designed for broad, flexible use among people who need Scripture and Gospel resources in accessible audio form.

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.

Partner135 — Organization Profile
Partner135, also written as Partner 135, is an international Christian mission agency committed to equipping today’s church to reach today’s world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The organization describes its work as empowering the national church where it is by forming strategic partnerships between U.S. disciples and indigenous disciples who serve within specific cultures and geographic regions.
The ministry is based in Van Buren, Arkansas, and serves through established work on four continents, including ministry connections in Uganda, South Asia, Romania, Tanzania, Peru, Nepal, India, the Frontier, Kenya, and Egypt. Partner135 works with national pastors, church leaders, missionaries, churches, and mission volunteers to reach unreached, under-reached, and under-served peoples.
Partner135 summarizes its ministry approach through three words: Discover, Develop, and Deploy. The organization seeks to discover unreached and unengaged people groups, develop contextualized strategies with national church leaders, and deploy missionaries, short-term teams, resources, and funds for training and service. This model reflects a focus on local church partnerships, contextual mission strategy, and reproducible leadership development.
Short-term mission mobilization is a major part of Partner135’s work. The organization sends disciples from the United States to serve alongside national pastors and church leaders for one- to three-week mission projects, many of them in remote areas. These trips include sharing the Gospel, meeting practical needs, and supporting ongoing ministry led by local believers.
Partner135 also supports year-round ministry through sponsorships, church planting, pastor support, child and school sponsorship, missionary support, international staff support, project funding, elderly and widow support, and emergency relief. Its giving opportunities emphasize teaching the Gospel, training the next generation of believers, and telling stories of what God is doing through partner ministries around the world.
People can engage with Partner135 by praying, giving, becoming a Gospel Partner, joining the prayer team, supporting a missionary or project, sponsoring children or schools, joining a short-term mission trip, or contacting the organization about mobilization. Its distinct contribution is connecting U.S. churches and disciples with national church leaders to advance Gospel work among unreached and underserved communities through partnership, training, mobilization, and practical support.

The ministry describes itself as a mission and ministry of non-denominational Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, with the public theme “Living Out the Great Commission.” Its work includes mission trips, Bible training, long-term missionary support, Appalachian outreach, and leadership development.
The organization’s core focus is helping churches and individuals fulfill the Great Commission through evangelism, discipleship, leadership development, mission trips, and support for local, regional, and international mission work. Mission Journeys states that it exists to direct people to Jesus as Lord and Savior, assist churches with leadership and strategic planning, give Christians a heart for missions and the lost, coordinate mission trips and projects, and support mission work.
Mission Journeys serves from Lexington, Kentucky, with ongoing ministry efforts in Appalachia and Eastern Kentucky. The organization also has full-time missionaries serving in Belize, Central America, and its Global Bible School outreach is active in the Philippines, Kenya, Guyana, Zambia, Tanzania, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Pakistan. Its website also highlights work in Guyana, Tanzania, Leyte in the Philippines, and Islamabad, Pakistan.
The ministry began through Teen Mission, USA, which was founded in 1970. Mission Journeys was born after a mission trip to Haiti in 1985 and later became the ministry’s primary working name in 2010. Over time, its short-term teams have helped start congregations, build church buildings, repair children’s homes, schools, and homes for the elderly, assist disaster recovery, preach, teach, baptize, strengthen new Christians, and encourage missionaries.
A distinctive part of Mission Journeys’ current work is combining short-term mission trips with longer-term Bible training and full-time ministry partnerships. Its Global Bible School began in 2005 and has become a major priority, training church leaders and providing Bible study opportunities in multiple countries. The Barnabas Project, launched in 2010, supports year-round ministry in Belize, including work among disadvantaged people and at-risk children from a ministry center near Belmopan.
People can engage with Mission Journeys by giving, praying, joining mission trips, supporting Global Bible School, helping the Appalachian Christmas Project, or contacting the ministry about service opportunities.
