Programs and results
What we aim to solve
People at all levels of poverty, within our community and around the world, are most assuredly faced with more than one debilitating circumstance that keeps them from rising from the cycle of poverty. This cycle is often inherited from generation to generation. It is our aim to break this cycle, and bring about change that will inspire hope and change the lives of this generation, and for many to come.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Feeding Program
Hunger grips the lives of many around our world. Lives are cut short, bodies become susceptible to disease and many turn to a life of crime just to find a way to obtain their next meal. Our hearts have been so touched by the sights of these devastating occurrences that it becomes all the more evident that we must do something to ease their suffering. By establishing and supporting Feeding Ministries in our local and worldwide community, we are doing our part to end hunger.
T.E.A.C.H. / To Educate All Children in Hope
So many children hunger not only to be fed, but also to learn, to be directed, and even just to be loved. It is our heart’s desire to change the future for these precious lives. T.E.A.C.H. is a sponsorship program supporting students, teachers, and schools in impoverished countries and our local community.
L.E.A.P. / Lighthouse Enhance and Advance Program
L.E.A.P. was established for the purpose of providing greater support to WWLM Partner Outreaches. The goal is to enhance current programs and provide advancements for the overall growth of outreaches that will benefit those in need here at home and around the world!

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To bring about change to those affected by poverty, here within our community, as well as internationally. Hunger, nakedness, homelessness or unsafe dwellings, unsafe drinking water, disease, lack of education, lack of spiritual influences -- all of these issues are areas that our hearts are moved with compassion for. The plight of those impoverished and being affected by each of these issues drives us to do whatever we can, no matter how small, to see hope ignited in the lives of the elderly, the widow, the child, and families struggling to survive.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
WWLM has formed partnerships with organizations and ministries that have the same heart and vision for helping those in need. This partnership involves financial assistance, as well as advice, guidance, and collaboration on the best methods for organizing the programs that tackle the issues.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Years of experience on varied methods, has given WWLM the keen eye and understanding for the most effective, and ineffective, ways to accomplish the programs. Establishing support teams that have expertise in areas specific to the programs' functions enables a wide variety of input, ideas, suggestions, and brainstorming for future projects, developments, and advancements.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since it's inception, WWLM has partnered with many organizations in more than 25 countries. The accomplishments have included, but are not limited to: sending containers of medical aid and equipment to medical facilities (hospitals and clinics) in impoverished countries, including a fire truck and ambulances; sending containers of aid to ministries in impoverished countries filled with clothing, shoes, food and even furniture, where applicable; building and supporting schools; building churches; digging wells; establishing feeding support outreaches; organizing collections at times of natural disaster and shipping to affected ares; supporting local families in need with basic necessities. It is the goal and desire to continue with all of these efforts, but deepen the impact by reaching to a broader base of recipients. This can only be accomplished by increasing our donor base - as the increases come in support, so with the increases be established for program advancements.
