Our Mission Statement

We teach and empower the rural poor to solve basic food, water, and financial challenges using their own resources in a God-honoring way. We celebrate life and share the goodness of God through the Gospel of Jesus. We are the originators of the "Baptist" method of well drilling. As of today, more than 7,000 water wells have been successfully drilled in 29 countries using this method.

What Drives Us? WFA Human Dignity Values and Philosophy

Men and women are made in God’s image, and God desires to share with us his dignity in a loving relationship with him. We believe in the need for all to come into a loving relationship with God through faith in his Son Jesus. Poverty exists when people are not in right relationship to God and/or don’t have basic dignity or proper dominion over their own lives and surroundings. God desires families and individuals to have dignity - that is a proper, healthy, dominion over their own bodies, homes, livelihoods, and natural environments. We believe this pleases God. Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love God and love your neighbor. WFA people, programs, and activities seek to humbly honor God by loving people and sharing the good news of Jesus and by empowering families to fight poverty and have dignity and love and serve one another.

 To God be the Glory!
