The Mission

Wellspring International was established in February 2004 by Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM). A humanitarian arm of the organization, Wellspring International is an extension of the central focus of RZIM, where we live out what we preach and defend. The vision of Wellspring is to identify and fund individuals in need as well as existing organizations that are helping those at risk in their communities, specifically women and children. Through a process of due diligence, our mission is to equip existing local rescue and rehabilitation efforts with financial resources to allow them to continue and further the work they are doing.

The Method

One hundred percent of donations given to RZIM and designated for Wellspring are distributed to projects overseas that we have researched and vetted.

We have the opportunity to aid organizations who embody four aspects we believe are vital to this effort: RESCUE, liberating individuals from destructive environments; REHABILITATION, offering programs that provide treatment and healing for physical and emotional needs; RESTORATION, a period of respite and renewal, that they may embrace a new hope and freedom, claiming confidence and independence; RE-ENTRY, providing homes, vocational training, and job opportunities.

Through a comprehensive process of due diligence, we research existing efforts so that our donors do not have to do so. Once a project is adopted, we enter into a contractual agreement with the organization to outline the details of the project and the specific management and use of funds. Throughout the project, Wellspring monitors the progress and process on your behalf. You can be confident that with regular site visits, audit reports, and project management, Wellspring is looking out for your best interests and preserving the integrity of your contribution to a particular need.

The Reason

"RZIM is an apologetic ministry. We are here to lift the intellectual veil that casts a blinding shadow upon the eyes of the thinker...not all shadows are imagined. Some are real. The pain and suffering of people is real. Wellspring is 'practical apologetics.' Love is the most powerful apologetic. It is the essential component in reaching the whole person in a fragmented world. The need is vast, but it is also imperative that we be willing to follow the example of Jesus and meet the need." – Ravi Zacharias
