In 2005 a Canadian non-profit society was established to represent numerous Canadian supporters of Agua Viva Ministries. Under the direction of a volunteer board the Society will help with administration work under the following mission statement:
- To help alleviate human suffering through building and development projects and emergency relief assistance that foster self-reliance and preserve human dignity.
- To organize volunteer relief work teams to developing countries in order to provide Canadians with a mission experience.
- To educate and inform the public on the needs of the poor and how these needs can be met.
- To foster community spirit and giving through fund raising events and projects related to supporting families and communities in need.
- To glorify God and give testimony to how He is working in the building of His kingdom.
