CEO/Executive Director Statement:
As those who pray, go and give, you are foundational to this ministry. As a result, we know God has drawn people to Himself, cared for the poor, sick, widows, orphans and elderly. He has opened doors, closed doors, provided financially, poured out wisdom, protected, transformed lives to be more like Him and much more.
Throughout 31 years of ministry we have had those special times of prayer as we face both challenges and opportunities. This is one of those times. As we move into year-end and look forward, we see two major areas that need to be bathed in prayer: 1) Future Vision and 2) Financial Provision.
God is stirring up change at DELTA and how we serve churches and help fulfill The Great Commission. Some factors driving this change include: the changing church, the growth and improvement of short-term missions, the economy and ease of information technology. As we sought God’s will, key themes came out of this time together:
- Heart: The heart of who we are will stay the same but HOW we accomplish ministry will change.
- Relevance: Our surveys indicate the church still has a great need for what DELTA can offer. They still need help motivating, recruiting, training, and mobilizing their members for ministry.
- Focus: We must narrow our focus on both our calling and strengths.
- Technology: To be relevant with a “virtual” generation we must leverage the latest technologies.
- Efficiency: We must collaborate with other ministries and develop new strategies to reach more people, and at the same time, become more efficient and continue to lower costs;
- Financial Provision: We must continue to trust God to provide day-by-day yet also look for new and creative ways to fund ministry.
Change is oftentimes not instant but a process. While we continue to pray and seek the Lord for wisdom, we must also continue on with what we know we are called to today.

Program Description:
DELTA comes alongside the local church and provides customized
training, consultation and logistical support so that the church can
integrate short-term ministry teams into their outreach strategy.
DELTA has Area Directors who serve as a partner with local church
leadership and provide regular consulting throughout the multiple
phases of a short-term team.
Program Long-Term Success:
Nearly 500 individuals from local churches in the U.S. and New Zealand are mobilized for both U.S. and international outreach. Together, over 75,000 man-hours are contributed by adults and youth free of charge to assist and love others the the disadvantaged in over 20 countries around the world. These teams share the love of Jesus Christ verbally and practically. The long term success includes: A personal relationship with God, those who are need and helpless are provided food, shelter and clothing. Individuals and families devastated by Hurricanes or earthquakes are provided new housing, financial support and have seen their lives rebuilt.
Program Short-Term Success:
- Over 40 teams from churches have been properly trained and mobilized for mission work in nearly 20 countries;
- 75,000 volunteer hours have been contributed to serve those in need and share the love of Jesus Christ.
- Free medical clinics have been offered in India and Haiti to help those who cannot help themselves.
- 20 homes have been built, clean water plants for two communities, a school and church built for victims of the Haiti earthquake.
Program Success Monitored by:
- We are in constant communication with churches and their leadership about our performance, which ensures we can correct issues along the way;
- We also survey every short-term mission team after completion and evaluate feedback to determine if goals were met;
- The host location is also surveyed for feedback and correction action is taken;
- We are also evaluated and audited by the Standards of Excellence (SOE) peer review team, which is a national best practice association for short-term missions.
Program Success Examples:
A team of 36 individuals served in an orphan village in Uganda. They were able to conduct a free dental clinic for those that do not have access to good health care, they painted 5 homes in an orphan village, they decorated a home used to host people, set up clothes lines so mums could hang their clothes, brought gifts and hygiene items to mums who care for orphans and built solid relationships. This is one example of many teams that will serve this year.
