Welcome to Word & Deed Ministries!

Welcome! We are delighted to have you visit our website. After having a look around, please don't hesitate to contact us with any further questions.

Word & Deed has made innovative use of blogs to provide up to date information on our partners and projects. Not all partners and projects are represented here yet but we hope to have them all in place soon. The dates on the posts are not necessarily reflective of when the entries were written but rather serve as a means of arranging the material.

Under "Links to Projects" (on the right) you will be able to find out more about our projects in the various countries. Use the back arrow on your browser to return to this website.

Below is a brief introduction to Word & Deed North America.

Our Mission

To improve the spiritual and physical needs of people in the developing world in accordance with biblical principles.

Our Strategy

To communicate the predicament of the suffering in the developing world to the people of North America such that they are given the opportunity to respond to their needs in love motivated by thankfulness for God’s grace in their lives.

To partner with Christian Organizations in the developing world on a wide variety of projects including child sponsorship, Christian Education, orphan care, disaster relief and vocational training, while providing reliable monitoring and timely updates to all supporters.

Our Methods

A focus on empowering each needy person to eventually provide for themselves in recognition of the dignity they have as God’s image bearers, having been made both to work and to worship.

An insistence on the Gospel being central to each ordinary project.

A careful use of field trips, interviews, correspondence, and application procedures to ensure that potential partners (churches and missions) and projects make responsible use of the funds provided and are motivated by a love for God and their neighbor.

Consistent monitoring and supervision of ongoing projects

To mobilize and education churches of North America through timely updates in the form of presentations, quarterly magazines, church bulletins, Emails and website articles in order to raise awareness of the plight of the needy.


What is emphasized at Word & Deed

Gospel focus (concern for man’s eternal destiny and the extension of the Kingdom of God)

Targeting self-sufficiency – “teach them to fish” (pouring in money only trains dependence)

Reliance on indigenous partner organizations in the developing world (rather than sending people from North America)
