Stronger together

Project Bible Runners is the founding field ministry behind VillageServer. Founded by Jess Sweitzer, Bible Runners exists to get God's Word into the hands of people who have never held a Bible — whether that means hiking into a remote village, organizing community screenings, or equipping local leaders to carry the work forward long after the team leaves.

Jess leads the field side: building relationships in communities, coordinating deployments, and making sure the technology the VillageServer team builds is actually useful to real people in real settings. Her feedback from the field directly shapes the kit design and training materials.

What Bible Runners brings: trusted community relationships, field leadership, spiritual oversight, and the boots-on-the-ground experience that keeps VillageServer grounded in the actual mission — not just the technology.

The Digital Bible Society provides the Scripture content that lives on every VillageServer language card. DBS has spent years building curated digital Bible libraries — text, audio, and video — in hundreds of languages, formatted specifically for offline devices.

Rather than VillageServer building its own content library from scratch, we use DBS's pre-built ZIM packages which include full Bible text, dramatised audio recordings, and the Jesus Film Project video library in the relevant language. This means a field kit is ready to use the moment it arrives — the content is already loaded, licensed, and tested.

What DBS brings: hundreds of offline-ready language libraries, established relationships with Bible translation organizations worldwide, and licensing that allows free distribution in field settings.

Derrick Rhayn connects VillageServer with the wider Body of Christ through Kingdom Impact Network (KIN). The Kingdom Impact Network exists to build the collective capacity of the Body of Christ by connecting, equipping, and engaging kingdom-centric believers, churches, ministries, businesses, and organizations.

Through strategic partnerships, shared resources, and relational networks, KIN partners to advance the Kingdom of God locally and globally.

What this brings: introductions to mission-aligned ministries and field partners, shared resources and funding pathways, and a collaborative network that helps place VillageServer kits where they are needed most.

CEF is a Bible-centered, interdenominational, worldwide organization composed of born-again believers, whose purpose and mission are to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in a Bible-believing church for Christian living.

CEF carries out that mission through Good News Clubs, 5-Day Clubs, teacher training, and children's discipleship materials, led by staff and volunteers in communities around the world.

What CEF brings: deep experience in children's gospel outreach and a global volunteer network — helping ensure the children's resources on every VillageServer kit are paired with people trained to teach and disciple the next generation.
