At our core, we are built on integrity, transparency, and compassion, working to transform lives through prayer, discipleship, and sustainable support.

Our Story

How It All Began

A Mission Trip that Changed Lives Forever

Our journey began 7 years ago on a mission trip to Bangalore, where we encountered a powerful movement of God. A young man in India felt called to gospel ministry and planted a church—then another, and another.

Today, thanks to the faithful work of our national partner, Ramesh Kumar, and many devoted leaders, that small beginning has grown into:

A network of over 600 churches
A thriving community of 15,000+ believers
Hundreds of pastors trained and equipped for ministry
