World Mission provides the Word of God in an audio format (The Treasure) for people who learn orally and live in areas where there is little to no Christian church - mostly Africa, Asia and India. We also provide humanitarian aid, pastoral training and clean water solutions, all with the goal of bringing the gospel to those the Holy Spirit is readying. Locally, we have thrift centers that people can donate to and volunteer at. This helps the people living in the area with good clothing and household goods at great prices and helps the people living across the seas in that they are then able to receive the gospel via the Treasure - MP3 player - that is solar-powered and in one of their 7,000 languages/dialects.

Over 600 million Indians defecate in the open every day because they have no toilet. This practice cripples health, economic, and social outcomes. Open defecation (OD) causes the spread of infectious diseases that kill an estimated 300,000 children under five every year. The economic costs of OD total nearly $54 billion lost each year in India, with rural households bearing the highest per capita loss. Furthermore, women and girls who lack convenient access to toilets often miss school and work while they are menstruating. SHRI ends open defecation in India by constructing community toilet facilities that are free to use. They include eight toilets for women, eight for men, hand-washing stations, and a biogas digester (a large underground tank). Human excrement is stored in this tank where it decomposes to produce methane gas. SHRI uses this energy source to produce electricity, which powers a water filtration plant that uses a patented resin filter to remove arsenic, fluoride, iron, and bacterial contaminants. The resulting potable water is sold for $0.008 per liter, less than half the current market cost, helping SHRI to generate revenue to offset its monthly facility O&M costs. This ensures facility cleanliness, a key predictor of sustained toilet use. Thus SHRI fights alongside rural Indian communities to end open defecation as a key step in the struggle for health equity, and social and economic justice.

Harvest Children’s Home (HCH) is a real home for 50-70 orphaned children. They sing, play, dream and hope, but 1 thing they don’t have to wonder about any more is: “where do I belong?” Before HCH these children were destitute, lacking the most basic necessities of life. Now they have nutritious meals, clean water, spiritual care, a good education and plenty of love! Their hope is restored!At HCH, we provide orphans with a new family – a multitude of “brothers” and “sisters,” and a caring staff to see that they’re loved and well supervised; a new hope – security, stability and a Christian faith they can build their lives on; and a new future – far different than before - receiving education, skills training and all that they need to succeed.

OBAT Helpers works for the welfare, support, and rehabilitation of displaced and stateless people by providing programs to alleviate the daily suffering and burdens of thousands of Urdu speaking people (known as "Biharis") who are stranded in makeshift camps in Bangladesh. OBAT Helpers implements projects in education and vocational training, self- empowerment through micro-financing, health care with clinics, drinking water, proper sewerage, and emergency relief projects. The Biharis have been stranded in Bangladesh since it achieved independence from Pakistan in 1971. Referred to as, astranded Pakistanis,a this community was supposed to be repatriated to Pakistan after the two countries separated but most of them could not due to political complications. They are presently citizens of nowhere, unclaimed by either country and marked by the UNHCR as refugees, yet deprived of the rights of refugees. They still live in the camps/slums that were supposed to serve as their temporary shelter forty years ago. This population is scattered across sixty-six camps which house around 300,000 people. Anyone visiting these camps would see a family of 7-10 people sharing a living space of 8x10 ft.; open sewers and overflowing drains; a single toilet or two for one hundred or so people; innocent six or seven year olds who should be in schools, working for a living; high-infant mortality rates due to absence of medical facilities; lack of clean drinking water; terrible or no sanitation facilities and nothing but abject poverty. OBAT Helpers is the only organization in North America which is committed to helping the Biharis to become self-reliant and empowered through proper education, health care and micro financing projects. OBAT started with providing help to one camp in 2004, and now, it is improving the lives of people in more than 30 out of the total 66 camps, after just six years. This is almost half of the total number of camps in Bangladesh.
