The Work

Four callings, one mission.

We don't build branches. We stand beside indigenous leaders who already know their people — and we give them what they need to serve well.

i.

We Support

Food, shelter, medical care, and the daily essentials for orphans and vulnerable families — through partners who see every need up close.

ii.

We Empower

Local pastors and lay leaders are equipped, trained, and released to plant churches and shepherd their own communities.

iii.

We Educate

School fees, vocational training, and Bible instruction — so the next generation inherits both a future and a faith.

iv.

We Uplift

Standing with persecuted minorities and the poorest of the poor, bringing dignity, hope, and the good news of Jesus.

Where We Serve

Three countries. Three families in Christ.

Partnerships built through personal relationships with leaders on the ground — not programs run from a distance.

East Africa

A home for thirty-three children.

A Year in the Field

Goodbye, 2025.

A look back at one year across three countries — the children, the pastors, the answered prayers, and the work that never stopped.

Uganda · Pakistan · Bangladesh

100%

Every dollar goes to the field.

No salaries. No administrative costs. Not a cent subtracted. Gifts given to Robert Deno Ministries arrive in full where the need is — because the work is the point.

Rev. Bob and Verna Deno
The Founders

A retirement calling.

Rev. Bob and Verna Deno married in 1972 and spent their lives in service — youth ministry in Italy, church planting, teaching, and decades of work in Alaska's Anchorage School District.

When they retired in 2018, they didn't stop. They settled in Hayden, Idaho, and turned their energy toward three specific corners of the world that had always been on their hearts — the ones most easily forgotten.

"Here you will find faith, hope, and love — but the greatest of these is love." — 1 Corinthians 13:13
