New orphanage in Southeast Asia!
In January, our team dedicated the new “orphanage” building in Southeast Asia. We are so thankful to those of you who gave to help furnish it with everything necessary to make it a home! In February, 40 children moved-in and are creating a family. The word orphanage above is in quotation marks for a couple of reasons. We never use the word “orphan” in front of the children. They are simply children! We refer to the building as the “children’s home”. These children are not “up for adoption” in a national system. Once they move-in, they are a part of the family. Through prayer and intentional discipleship, our hope is that they become adopted sons and daughters of God by salvation through Christ!

2026 Team Mission Trips
This Saturday, April 11th, our very first team trip leaves for the mountains of Southeast Asia! Please pray for Chaera, Kallie, Kaitlin, Byron, our indigenous team, and the tribal people who will hear the gospel of Jesus for the first time ever! This team will host a 3-day medical and evangelism event in one of the most remote mountain villages and have the opportunity to visit a refugee camp from a neighboring country. Reaching unreached people groups requires substantial financial capital, many days of travel, and sacrificing comforts as simple as a bed. This is why they are unreached up to this point. We are thankful to be used by the Lord for such a task!
The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) is for all believers – some go, some send, all pray! If you don’t feel called to go but would like to help send, please click the “special needs” link below to partner in taking the gospel of Christ to this new region!
Is the Spirit stirring you to go? Click the “missions interest” link below to get information on our upcoming trips! If you’re interested in taking a team from your church or organization, we can arrange that too!
Seminary Graduation!
In March, eighteen students graduated from Biblical Theological College & Seminary. These eighteen students have each taken on the mantle of taking the gospel to unreached people groups and planting five new churches or house churches. This represents ninety new churches and thousands of new believers! Praise God for His faithfulness!!
Village Evangelism!
Our Uganda team is celebrating after a three day outreach to a new village where seventy people gave their lives to Christ! Praise God for His faithfulness and perfect redemption! The team will now have someone traveling weekly to disciple these new believers until a church can be established. Please pray for their roots to grow deep as they begin to understand the Lord in personal relationship!
Hope for a Future!
Christ is our hope and our salvation! Yet, if we only shepherd the hearts of children and don’t give them the skills necessary to provide for themselves and their future families, we would have missed the mark. We are excited to announce the opening of the woodworking skills training center in Uganda! This training allows young men that are ready to transition into adulthood the ability to thrive. They have built a door frame, table, step stool, and are now building desks for the Shepherd 23:1 Uganda school! They are taking great pride in their work! The long-term plan is to have a storefront where these goods are sold to help fund this skills training and their transition into productive members of their villages. We are seeking a corporate sponsor to commit to funding the instructor and supplies. Will you please pray with us?
