Our Ministry Partners work full-time on the mission field to expand the kingdom of God.

Many ministries struggle to tell their story and fundraise.

Ministry leaders and missionaries shouldn’t have to spend all their hours focusing on funding instead of their God-given missions. We understand the burden many missionaries face - wearing every hat from ministry leader to accountant to marketer and everything in between. We know you have a calling, a vision, passion and obedience to God’s direction but have difficulty finding the space to fundraise the necessary resources to materialize your mission.

Our team is a multi-generational family who has served in churches, non-profit organizations, and on the mission field in over eight countries, working alongside leaders just like you.

We connect generous donors with the story, passion and calling of Kingdom Builders around the world. We report on the outcome of each project, giving donors confidence their donation is making an impact for the gospel through your mission.
