MULTIPLYING DISCIPLES: At Vapor, we seek to intentionally form disciples with multiplication as our goal. Through a variety of relevant means, we introduce people to the hope of Christ, teach the truths of God's Word, and equip participants to multiply disciples in their own community. ALLEVIATING POVERTY: We show the love of Christ by serving the poor without forming dependency. We aim to break cycles of poverty, bringing hope and lasting transformation. SUSTAINABLE CENTERS: Vapor Ministries seeks to develop effective and durable ministry centers in the areas we serve. We develop local people's skills and abilities and engage in a variety of revenue-generating opportunities, all while utilizing culturally relevant means to carry out our mission.

Vapor Ministries deploys a holistic model of ministry in the communities we serve. Local believers are empowered to meet needs and feed souls in their communities. Thousands of all ages are reached through our discipleship programs, including discipleship sports leagues that operate multiple times per week. The community is impacted both through the meeting of immediate physical needs, like clean water, food, and medicine, and through long term investment, like jobs and education. We see the power of this holistic model in new believers, full churches, and economic development that spans into homes and businesses outside the center walls.

Vapor Ministries employs approximately 450 full and part-time employees and volunteers across our 5 centers, 2 regional offices, 3 thrift stores, and headquarters in pursuit of the strategies detailed above. Our US-based HQ staff serve as full-time executives, managers, and functional experts overseeing operations, training and equipping all staff on the ground, and working daily to raise awareness and support (both knowledge and financial) across a diversified giving base. Local leaders at each center undergo intense on-the-job training and each Vapor Ministries employee is part of our overall leadership pipeline, developing new leaders to grow disciples, become community leaders, help break the cycle of devastating poverty, and bring the light of Christ to their communities.

Vapor utilizes a number of KPIs (key performance indicators) to evaluate our work in every area of the ministry. These KPIs are measured, at a minimum, quarterly, and site visits, trainings, development meetings, and evaluations happen throughout the year, both from mid-management and executive level team members.

We have seen communities and lives holistically transformed before our eyes. Since inception, thousands of jobs have been created, hundreds have received access to eduction (many of whom have graduated), thousands have come to faith in Christ, millions of liters of clean water have been provided, and much more. Next for Vapor is continuing the work we have been doing at each of our 5 existing centers, along with breaking ground on a new center in Northeast Haiti sometime in 2019. This will allow us to continue the work of community change, discipleship multiplication, and poverty alleviation we work toward daily already.
