About
Word & Deed
Word & Deed is a Reformed Christian ministry. Our mission is to meet the spiritual and physical needs of people in the developing world in accordance with biblical principles for the glory of God.

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

We picture ourselves as a bridge connecting Christian churches, businesses, and individuals in North America with churches and missions in the developing world so that together we can reach out in the name of Christ to those in need.

Our Key Areas of Emphasis

Gospel
Focus

Our concern is for man’s eternal destiny and the extension of the Kingdom of God.

Local Sustainability
Under Christ

Helping our partners work toward financial independence by using local resources, under the indispensable blessing of the Lord.

Indigenous
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

  • 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 ongoing 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.

  • A focus on developing indigenous leadership so that their capacity to monitor and administer their own projects increases.

  • Consistent monitoring and supervision of ongoing projects.

  • To mobilize and educate churches of North America through timely updates in the form of presentations, quarterly magazines, church bulletins, emails, and social media updates in order to raise awareness of the plight of the needy.

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!

“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.”
Rev. Bill Green, Executive Secretary for CLIR, Costa Rica
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.
