Our History

All4Aid’s beginning is connected with an act of compassion in 2014, when Multination Church in Frankfurt, Germany, offered sanctuary to Christian asylum seekers who faced the threat of persecution and even death if returned to their home countries.

This courageous act led to a criminal investigation against the church pastor at the time, Rev. Rodrigo Assis da Silva. Strong public support eventually helped to bring the case to a close, and all those sheltered at the church were later granted asylum and successfully integrated into life in Germany.

Following this experience, Rodrigo founded All4Aid in 2018. The organisation first launched initiatives in the Frankfurt area and organised mission trips to Greece. In the following year, it assumed management of a community centre on the island of Lesvos, Greece, then home to the largest refugee camp in Europe.

Since then, All4Aid has expanded across multiple countries, as it continues to pursue the vision of seeing displaced people living life in all its fullness!

Who We Are

All4Aid is an international network of nonprofits united by the belief in the God-given worth of every person and committed to walking alongside displaced people through a holistic approach. Our international body, All4Aid International, coordinates programme implementation and provides support systems. Each national All4Aid organisation remains fully autonomous, focusing on local governance and the mobilisation of prayer, funding, and volunteers.

 

Our Vision
Displaced people living life in all its fullness.

Our Mission

To walk alongside displaced people, enhancing their quality of life through practical assistance, social inclusion, and personal development.

Our Values

Our values are rooted in the Christian faith, as expressed in the Nicene Creed and inspired by the call to mission through word and deed — as articulated in documents such as the Lausanne Covenant. They are also guided by the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, affirming the dignity and worth of every person:

 

COMPASSION
We walk alongside displaced people with empathy and genuine care, in both word and action.

INTEGRITY
We act with honesty, transparency, and accountability at every area and level of our work.

EXCELLENCE
We pursue the highest standards in all we do—acting with a spirit of continuous improvement.

EQUALITY
We affirm the equal worth of every person, regardless of background, culture, or status.

HUMILITY
We serve with modesty, valuing the voice, skills, and contributions of the displaced people.

PARTNERSHIP
We collaborate with like-minded individuals, churches, and organisations to amplify impact.

Our Team

Our team is made up of people with experience in nonprofit management, cross-cultural missions, and areas of expertise such as communications, finance, education, W.A.S.H. and programme support. United by a shared calling to serve, they ensure that All4Aid’s work remains effective and responsive.
