International Aid. Our name begins to describe what we do and who we are. But it’s only a hint. We go deeper – much deeper – than merely providing assistance to people in need all over the world.
International Aid is on a mission to transform lives by offering practical solutions to critical healthcare needs in the world. It is a mission that we have been on for three decades and one that is changing the world. For followers of Jesus Christ, this commitment to transformation is a big deal. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus urges those who follow His way to care especially for those in need and to share His message of hope to all nations.
So through our quality healthcare services and training, and distributing our HydrAid BioSand Water Filter, we serve the poor, the thirsty, the sick and the weary – “the least of these,” as Jesus called them in Matthew 25.
As we care for physical needs, International Aid addresses the deepest needs of the human spirit, as well. In partnership with churches, mission agencies and other organizations and individuals, we collaborate in sowing the seeds of health and hope. In that way, we participate in the joy and mystery of building and enabling faith and trust in the power of Christ – the work of the Great Commission detailed in Matthew 28.
Welcome to our world – a big world full of opportunity to serve for the sake of Christ. Let’s explore.
