Ministry

We are passionate about seeing God’s Kingdom come and His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. To that end, we are actively involved with NewSong Church and CANOPI. NewSong Church is a vibrant collective of house churches committed to outreach, discipleship, and worshiping King Jesus extravagantly.

The Christian Alliance Network for Outreach and Pastoral Impact (CANOPI) is a nonprofit organization and sister ministry to NewSong, pursuing Kingdom expansion in Latin America. We are deeply honored to serve in both ministries, both on the field and behind the scenes, and can’t wait to share with you amazing testimonies!

Thank you for your Financial Investment in Our ministry!

Current Monthly Donors!

What a blessing! Our dedicated monthly donors are making it possible for us to serve full-time in Oceanside, Mexico, and Costa Rica, focusing on outreach and discipleship. We’re seeing lives transformed and are filled with gratitude!

Will you join us in this exciting journey? Your prayers and partnership are deeply appreciated.
