In the impoverished communities where White Fields ministers, the average person makes $1 a day or less. The regions we serve often consist of farmers and day laborers who may only have a fourth-grade education, with few opportunities for advancement. Factors such as these continue the cycle of poverty.
Part of our comprehensive approach to transforming communities worldwide is to come alongside new church members and give them the means to become producers and lift themselves out of poverty. We believe that work is good, that it restores dignity, and that it is God’s plan for people to work. The local community is transformed through the micro-enterprises we help the local church members initiate.
Your partnership is essential in changing the lives of Christians living in poverty, helping them to become self-sustaining. We also teach church members biblical principles about generosity with their income. Many testimonies highlight how widows have donated some of their proceeds to help even more impoverished neighbors. In return, God has blessed these widows with better crops or additional piglets during their next birthing. They give glory to God for His blessings and become even more generous to those around them.
Many Projects Can Be Engaged
White Fields implements a range of thoughtfully crafted policies designed to ensure that Poverty Solutions fosters a meaningful and impactful experience for the local church community. We provide comprehensive training for church leaders, empowering them with the skills needed to manage financial resources effectively and ethically. Our approach emphasizes integrity, ensuring that we prevent any exploitation of the system—such as individuals falsely professing faith to secure a donation.
Each initiative we support is intricately tailored to meet the unique needs of the community it serves. We prioritize local projects, strategically diversifying efforts to align with the region’s economic landscape. For instance, if a majority of the local farmers are cultivating corn, we deliberately avoid oversaturating the market with additional corn. Instead, we seek alternative avenues that complement existing practices, fostering sustainable growth and nurturing the community’s economic resilience.
There are a wealth of inspiring initiatives aimed at alleviating poverty, each thoughtfully crafted to empower the establishment of churches in struggling communities. Imagine the transformative impact of providing a family with a pig, a goat, or seeds; these gifts offer not just sustenance but the seeds of a sustainable livelihood. They can help new believers cultivate hope and independence in their lives.
In addition to animal husbandry and agriculture, we also engage in vital Water Projects. These ventures range from constructing resilient water storage tanks to drilling deep wells, ensuring access to clean, life-giving water. By situating these resources at the local church, we help transform the church into a pivotal hub for the community, a sanctuary not only for spiritual growth but also for practical support and development. Through these projects, we weave together threads of faith and empowerment, fostering a brighter future for all.
In Uganda, Myanmar, and the Philippines, we provide people with the technology and training to create sustainable water sources for their communities located at the church. Your donations provide resources to build rainwater collection tanks, wells, water storage, and filters.
A family raising a piglet can within a year have a mature pig that can give birth to a drove of piglets. These pigs when mature can be sold at the market price for $350, almost double a families average salary. Join us and solve poverty for a family by donating today!
Difficult Places
White Fields serves in impoverished communities. Our pastors and short-term teams engage the local people and share the gospel. Telling the story of creation and God’s interaction with sinful people leads to the discussion of Jesus coming to earth. Then, the community members begin to place their faith in Jesus and receive Him as their Lord and Savior.
We often hear testimonies of fathers who become believers and immediately seek to be sober and search for a method of earning funds to feed and care for their families. White Fields Poverty Solutions provides local methods to get those parents working and providing for their families. You can choose any items from our gift catalog. Our church leaders manage all projects in the local community.
