Every VillageIn 2000, Frank Blackwood sensed God weeping for the people of southern Sudan and answered the call to minister to a generation who had been plagued by decades of war and poverty. This was the foundation of Every Village, then called Aid Sudan, with a primary goal to help the people of southern Sudan rebuild the devastations. ‍In the years to come, Every Village would play an important role in laying the groundwork for the southern Sudanese to establish peace in their hearts and in their nation. And on July 9, 2011, we celebrated with our brothers and sisters of South Sudan as they broke off from Sudan to become the world's newest nation. But the struggle for independence left South Sudan as a nation far behind. They were a people with great challenges but with an equally great strength to persevere. Their needs were clear: a lack of access to clean water and the gospel of Christ. ‍In response to these needs, Every Village began drilling of water wells to provide clean water to communities, launching radio stations to broadcast the gospel in local languages, and sending missionaries to teach South Sudanese leaders the word of God.

https://copperfield.church/missionaries-eyes-on-me/Over the past 12 years, the ministry Bobby “Tre9” Herring launched, Eyes On Me Inc, has grown into an organization that focuses on making reproducible disciples in some of the most poverty-stricken communities around the Greater Houston area. By establishing mission centers in these under-served communities with on-site missionaries, offering basic needs services and providing programs that teach local residents about Jesus Christ, Eyes On Me is able to help transform lives and fulfill its mission to mentor, disciple and serve at-risk youth and their families. Goals or objectives for the next 12 months.  Financial support is used to fund these programs, community centers and church plants.  Whether it is meeting benevolence needs in these communities, renting a local missions center for our missionaries to live, starting a new program to impact lives or taking hundreds of youth to summer camp, there is always a need for financial support.  With the generosity of churches, individuals, businesses, and foundations, we have been able to establish our ministry in five neighborhoods where evangelism and discipleship is transforming the community.

https://ananiashouse.orgAnanias House was started after its founder, witnessed firsthand both the devastating impact the conflict in the Middle Eastern region had on his homeland and the miraculous power of God in the lives of His children caught in the crossfire. Churches were left with few resources to care for the enormous number of people flooding their doors seeking refuge and truth.Ananias House seeks to preserve the rich Christian heritage of Biblical times, and, in the face of darkness and despair, proclaim the light and hope of Jesus Christ to believers and peoples of other faiths alike through meeting practical and tangible needs, knowing that it is often in the darkest times that the power of God is most evident.As many Christians in the West wonder what they can do to stand with the persecuted Church, Ananias House provides an avenue through which they can engage in the work the Lord is doing in the greater Middle East, and North Africa through prayer, advocacy, and financial support, among other endeavors. Ananias House desires for God to be glorified in this region and works directly with local churches and Christian leaders through Biblical training and Gospel Centered resources.
