We aim to achieve our mission by working alongside and supporting indigenous (local) churches and Christian partners in Africa, Asia, and Latin America in 17 different countries, through more than 55 ongoing projects. We also help our partners with many one-time projects such as disaster relief aid and infrastructure projects.
Our Approach
Our Key Areas of Emphasis
Focus
Our concern is for man’s eternal destiny and the extension of the Kingdom of God.
Under Christ
Helping our partners work toward financial independence by using local resources, under the indispensable blessing of the Lord.
Leadership
A reliance on the skills and assets of local Christians in the developing world.
Our Vision
Christians around the world reaching out together in the name of Christ to serve the poor, nurture covenant families, encourage biblically faithful churches, and develop local leaders while empowering people to provide for themselves.
Our Methods
“We can only say thanks, because without a doubt, the Family Protection Team arrived at the right time. We felt listened to, understood, and above all we were able to recognize that God is the basis of our home. With Him restoration becomes complete and we can be a happy family.”
“Word & Deed took the initiative to work out a very important project that would place theology books in the hands of pastors across Latin America… I wish to congratulate Word & Deed for their sensitivity to such fundamental needs in the church of Latin America. Good theology will produce healthy churches. We need to always work on the foundations. On behalf of CLIR, we look forward to continued cooperation in the future.”
It has been a great joy to feel the Lord’s presence at work and in the lives of the children we serve. Your prayers and support have been our strength and encouragement.
Dear friends at Word & Deed, I want to thank you for all your love and kindness. Thank you for allowing me to attend the after-school program. Because I go there, I can learn about the Lord. I have learned to trust him, to have faith in his promises, and that he will never leave me alone. Blessings!
“In school, I have been taught the Word of God, which is very important to my life and that of my family. I feel happy because the teachers at La Palabra treat me very well.”
“Praise God for what He is doing to expand Christian education and the opportunity to witness for Christ among the Muslims in Indonesia. We pray that He will continue to use us as a tool to bring more people to Christ and to grow his church in this nation.”
