Overview

Mission

Provision international, a world-wide christian ministry of outreach, strives to meet the needs of the earth's less fortunate and downtrodden populace. We are committed to networking resources to serve people in areas of great need.

What it reported doing in 2024

Missionsel salvador: we shipped food, shoes, clothes, toys, work gloves, backpacks/bags, bedding, and other home goods at a record pace in 2024 to our people on the ground in santa ana. We were able to help thousands with goods from the united states. We built and established a warehouse there to help streamline donations to the poor. Sixty plus pastors come weekly to the warehouse and pick up food and other items to help their areas of the country. We also brought teams from the u.s. To build houses, minister in prisons, distribute items, care for the disabled, organize church outreach, and whatever else we can do to be a blessing to el salvador. The gang rehabilitation center continues to serve young men who have turned their lives around and we make it a point to always visit them when we are in the country. Uganda: we constructed many water wells throughout uganda this year. Every well services two to three villages with anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 people. We bought bean and maze seed for families to teach them how to plant and harvest food and future seed for self-sustaining living. This is the second year in a row we have done this, and it has been a huge success. We also bought livestock for some of the prisons and ministries to help them establish self-sufficient living. Slovakia: we continue to work alongside the roma ministry in sabinov, slovakia. Building houses for the roma continues to be a major part of what we do there. Planting churches amongst the roma is a major focus for us. We helped purchase a couple of buildings in 2024 to establish some new ministries. We help support several feeding programs for roma families in the eastern part of slovakia.peru, panama, haiti, guatemala, and costa rica: we help feed the poor in all these countries by providing food (beans) to our partners on the ground who in turn distribute to the people they serve. Providing necessities such as shoes, clothes, blankets, home goods, and medical supplies is a way for us to help be a blessing to many. Helped a missions hospital supply all their medical equipment and supply needs.
