“God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.”
- Hudson Taylor
DNI operates under the faith missions model. Trusting Him to provide does not guarantee that all budgets will be fully met, but in the words of Hudson Taylor, “God’s work done God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” Over the years, we have seen God answer prayer time after time in both small and big ways through the generosity of His people.
We believe in the importance of transparency and are committed to making information available to those who are interested. We make information available to our support base regarding needs and opportunities, but do not make direct requests for funds (eg. appeal letters, fundraisers, etc).

DNI General Fund
Donating to the General Fund helps to pay for things like:
– Worker training
– Worker travel to and from the field of service at the beginning and end of terms
– Board travel to visit workers on the field
– Worker retreats
– Publications
Worker Support
There are two ways to donate to worker support.
- Give to a specific worker
Workers are responsible for all personal living expenses (food, rent, utilities, transportation on the field, vacations, etc.) from the designated gifts they receive each month. Designated gifts for DNI workers are forwarded directly to them. No percentage is deducted for administrative expenses since DNI administrative staff are also supported using the faith missions model.
- Give where needed most
Your gift to the “Worker Support Where Needed Most” fund provides financial assistance for workers whose support levels are significantly under budget.
Education & Language Assistance Fund
Entering creative access countries often requires higher education. The cost of getting a college degree may significantly delay DNI workers getting to the field. Your gifts to this fund allow us to assist DNI workers with minimum college tuition payments.
In order to communicate the Gospel effectively, we believe it is very important to take the time to learn the language well. Depending on the location and options available, language study can be very expensive. Your gifts to this fund will be used to assist DNI workers with those expenses as needed.

INSTill Sponsorship Program
Through the INSTill Sponsorship Program our vision is to partner with Khmer families to enable their children to complete high school education. Lack of money, proper documentation and motivation are just a few of the reasons Khmer children are not sent to school. More than just providing funds, our purpose is to encourage families to prioritize education, as well as assist the families in communication with the schools and education officials for proper documentation, etc. The vision of INSTill Sponsorship program is to give a hand-up rather than a hand-out, to empower families with the knowledge and experience to give their children a bright future. To instill hope and vision in their hearts. As the Khmer saying goes, ‘Drop by drop the cup is filled.’
In Khmer culture, it is common for older children to become the financial supporters of the family starting as young as 12 years old. Not having had the opportunity to get an education or learn a skill, they often go to work in the clothing factories where they are overworked and underpaid. Once they start in the factories, they never have the opportunity to study or learn a skill that will help them get a better job. Young girls are sometimes sent to work in the KTV (karaoke) bars where they’re at risk of ending up in the sex industry. Once they start down one of these paths the cycle of poverty continues unbroken from generation to generation.
In other situations, families try to send their children to school, but the legal paperwork required for them to continue to high school is often complicated. Not having the connections or motivational support, many parents give up and decide to pull their child from school and have them start working.
Through our different programs, we have connections with many families in our neighborhood who face difficulties educating their children. Born out of a desire to see the cycle of poverty broken for these children, we have a vision to start a sponsorship program that will fund these children through high school. But more than just a financial handout for these families, we want to give life to their dreams of a better future. We want to instill in them the value of working hard and not giving up. Through all of this, our ultimate goal is always to give the message of hope that Jesus Christ brings to this broken world.

Southeast Asia Refugees
Southeast Asia Refugees - Special Medical Needs
Some of the people we serve in our clinic require medical interventions not available inside the camp. With your help we can help people with extremely swollen tonsils almost blocking their throat to have surgery to remove them.
We can help young ladies with unsightly eye defects to have surgery to have a glass eye put in increasing their marriage prospects.
Or those with birth defects causing them to be unable to control their urine to have surgery to gain that control.
The boy on the picture had fallen and broken his jaw several months earlier. It was not taken care of properly and eventually the boy was unable to open his mouth more than about half an inch making it very difficult to eat. We were able to help the family with the finances they needed for surgery and he is doing much better.
Cost: $1,000/month
Southeast Asia Refugees - Baby Formula Fund
Imagine the heartbreak of not being able to see your baby thrive and grow. This is the case for many parents in developing countries. Maybe your baby has a cleft palate and cannot breastfeed because of that. Maybe the mother does not have enough breastmilk to provide adequate nutrition to her baby. Or maybe the baby’s mother died at birth and you, the father, are left with 2-3 children including this newborn to feed and care for alone with no steady job or source of income. We are happy to be able to provide support to families facing these scenarios living in a refugee camp in southeast Asia. It is a joy to see the babies start to thrive and to see the worry lines on the faces of the parents change to smiles and pride as their babies start to fill out.
Cost: $575/month
Restore Training is a trauma-based training committed to equipping our women to facilitate the restoration of women in hard places. Our vision is to see Anabaptist women receiving the healing and redemption of Jesus in their own lives and then moving with Jesus’ power into the stories of trafficked and vulnerable women.
Restore Training offers training in trauma and crisis care, counseling, crisis pregnancy, anti-trafficking, and issues related to Muslim women. We host the Hands that Heal seminar online through the Faith Alliance against Slavery and Trafficking, equipping women engaging in counter-trafficking efforts. We also host webinars periodically, pulling in experienced women for specific topics such as Healthy Sexuality or Redemptive Interventions. Depending on the trainee’s choice of the three certificates we offer, they may participate in six weeks of Bible School and Long-Term Orientation in NYC. We pair trainees with experienced coaches, who facilitate the training process and help them navigate the outsourced training materials.
