GLOBAL IMPACT
Through our World Impact Ministries, we partner with organizations and groups to make a positive impact in our world. In our partnerships and missions trips with ZOE Empowers and Allies in Youth Development, we equip orphans in Rwanda, India, Russia and Eastern Europe with tools and training to overcome life-threatening poverty for good. Our partnership with UMCOR supports missionaries in Africa and Mexico and provides resources for urgent needs throughout our world. We partner with many other groups and organizations to share the love of God and make a positive impact throughout the world.

Pray for our ZOE Empowerment Groups
ZOE Empowers Ministry transforms the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children from poverty and neglect to self-sufficiency and community within three years. This happens through Education, Encouragement, and Advocacy. When these children first joined the ZOE programs they had been living in extreme poverty and instability. Many had been living with a caregiver who shared their shelter but could not provide adequate food, education, health care or other support that children need. Through your generosity we are helping empower a generation skilled to leave extreme poverty behind forever!

What’s Next for Our ZOE Orphan Empowerment Ministry?
We are excited to be currently sponsoring 18 groups that are scheduled to graduate in June 2027. These group are split between two countries: Rwanda and Tanzania.
TEXANS ON MISSION
Texans on Mission volunteers walk alongside those who are suffering and change the world one act of service and compassion at a time. By meeting crucial needs after a disaster, providing clean drinking water for people around the globe and undertaking construction projects, volunteers share God’s love with hurting people in Texas, across the U.S. and around the world.
Since 1967, volunteers have delivered help, hope and healing to millions of hurting people and raising up the next generation to do likewise. As a result of that service, we’ve helped start and train disaster relief groups in all 50 states, giving birth to the third-largest disaster relief network in the nation.
If you would like to financially support them, we encourage you to use the blue donate button below.
ALLIES IN YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Allies in Youth Development, based right here in Mansfield, Texas, sponsors orphans in over 70 orphanages around the world. They are connected in more than 15 cities throughout Ukraine, as well as Eastern Europe, and the world.
During this troubling time, their priorities continue to be the safety and welfare of the children and youth in their care, many of whom are special needs. They have also added goals of helping with shelter for some 400 families in a refugee camp, elderly care in the region, and Moldova and neighboring countries that are in desperate need of support.
