Plant With Purpose restores hope by reversing two of the world’s greatest challenges: global poverty and environmental damage. The heart of the mission is restoring relationships—between people and planet, between people and one another, and between people and Creator. MVPC is partnering with Plant With Purpose’s Northern Thailand watershed. Plant With Purpose partners with Thai farmers in these communities to teach regenerative farming and help advocate for rights. Through Purpose Groups, we are able to help connect more families to the resources, helping them to reverse poverty and improve their damaged ecosystems.

Venture brings hope in tough places. Venture strategically works where the Gospel is least known and injustice is most severe – targeting areas that are unsafe, unreached, and unresourced.

MVPC's partnership in Congo began years ago with Dr. Mossai and Sabuli Sanguma, who founded Ubangi Protestant University and Sabuli Children's Center to raise up African leaders and care for orphaned and vulnerable children. Their son, Wilita Sanguma, founded Lobiko in 2020, and MVPC's giving now flows to Lobiko to continue the work Mossai and Sabuli began. Lobiko is a faith-based nonprofit that partners with local Congolese leaders so children and families facing extreme hardship can thrive. Alongside the children's center and the university, its work has grown to include healthcare, vocational training, education, and small business support for families across the region. Since the founding of Lobiko in 2020, more than 40,000 lives have been transformed.
