Give
Giving towards a missionary’s solar power system or water filtration system is a great way to support expanding the reach of the Gospel to unreached people groups living in remote locations. Ethnos360 missionaries, as with most missionaries, raise their own support through the direct contributions from individuals and churches.
Paying for the extra expenses of solar panels, storage batteries, charge controllers, and inverters can be a huge hurdle as a missionary is getting ready to make the challenging move to an unreached village that has no grid power whatsoever.
The staff here at Offgrid Tech are themselves missionaries assisted by their own supporters, which allows Offgrid Tech to offer the equipment more affordably to missionaries from any qualifying organization due to the low overhead costs.
Your donations to the Offgrid Tech General Giving project will go towards offering increasingly discounted equipment to all the missionaries we serve. You also have the option to add a memo to designate your donation for the specific missionary or project the Lord has put on your hear
Examples of Past Projects:
$1,800 – A lighting project where the missionary helped his neighbors install LED lights in their huts connected to a small solar panel which went on their grass roof.
$600 – General lighting projects for remote missionaries.
$6,600-$18,000 – Offgrid Tech has supplied hundreds of complete solar power system for missionary families throughout the years. These systems have a wide cost range depending on the size and needs of the missionary’s family and ministry.
$250 – Water filter systems and replacement filters. Over the last decade, Offgrid Tech has supplied thousands of water filters to missionaries at deeply discounted prices. Most missionaries need to purify their own water. Offgrid Tech offers a variety of proven water filtrations systems including one which we have a patent on, and we manufacture ourselves.
$800,000 – New Offgrid Tech HQ. Offgrid used to operate out of the basement of an aging building on the Ethnos360 Training Center’s campus. We used to have supplies and products stored in over eight different locations on campus, including a dusty old dairy barn. The Lord provided funds via generous donors to build our new building here on campus which brought all our operations and storage under one roof in 2021.

Pray
All Christian ministry is a spiritual battle, so please partner with us in prayer as our team works towards equipping foreign missionary workers who are setting up a home in the most remotes corners of the world. Life in general involves challenges and spiritual conflict, and missionaries are in a unique spiritual battle as they carry out the great commission set forth by Christ Jesus himself in Matthew 28:18-20.
Missionaries living in remote areas might be good at building relationships with the locals, learning a new language, or teaching the Gospel, but they may not be so good at technical aspects of living in a remote location. Your prayers are vital for them to handle all the technical challenges of remote living all by themselves.
Serve
Ethnos360 encourages all Christians to consider their role in missions. Consider if God would want you involved in a support role with Offgrid Tech.
While we do not currently have any open positions at Offgrid Tech, we are always praying for engineers and experts who have a heart to assist us in design and consultant work (chemical, mechanical, hydraulic, biological, and electrical) whenever the need arises.
