Some Missionary organizations

Samaritan's Purse -
Our work takes us throughout the world to extend the love of Jesus Christ to hurting people. For over 35 years, Samaritan's Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ's command by going to the aid of the world's poor, sick, and suffering. We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ.



Covenant Mercies -
Covenant Mercies is eager to harness the abundant resources that God has provided to serve our brothers and sisters abroad, and to come alongside churches in areas plagued by famine, natural disasters, and various “third world conditions” as they seek to embody the love and mercy of Christ in their communities.



Africa Inland Mission -
Africa Inland Mission (AIM) is an evangelical Christian mission agency dedicated to the establishment of maturing churches among the peoples of Africa....We are engaged in a wide range of ministries including evangelism and church planting among Africa's unreached and least reached peoples, leadership development, youth ministry, medical ministry, community development and community health, aviation, and support service ministries.


Not so much an issue of aid vs. development here - a missionary focus is very different!

ETA: The focus - the Great Commission -

Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
