We live in a hurting and broken world. A world that is crying out for justice and redemption. In the midst of all this, we've each been given unique strengths, gifts and skills. The world is waiting for each one of us to use what we've been given to make a difference. Whether that's internationally or in our local communities... there is a purpose for each one of us waiting to be lived out. The world is waiting...
Our Vision
That people everywhere love and serve others to their fullest potential.
Our Mission
We accomplish our vision through:
- Short-term trips that help people discover their unique purpose by getting them out of their comfort zones, while serving others and exploring their unique strengths.
- Free resources/ideas that help people make a difference in their communities.
- Faith-based creative/relevant merchandise.
Who We Are
A ragtag group of disciples who want to make a difference in this world. We are members of the International Churches of Christ in North America, Africa and Asia. We are devoted to fusing our passion for world travel and living out the instructions of Christ from the Gospel of Matthew, “The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.” From the overflow of gratitude for Jesus’ sacrifice, we hope to help impact the lives of others.
Our Partners
Our partners help make it all happen. We currently have a focus on Kenya, as this is where several of us have spent a significant amount of time serving and building relationships. We hope to expand our vision and build partnerships all over the world. Proverbs 19:21. If you are interested in doing any type of long-term serving with one of our partners, please get in touch and we'll do our best to help you make a difference.
Mount Kenya Youth Development Group
This is a grassroots community organization seeking to make a difference one life at a time. With projects spanning from the inner city of Nairobi to the village of Nyahururu, there is plenty of work to be done. The organization champions the causes of safe blood awareness and coordinating blood drives, to assisting with a community of disabled persons and the efforts to raise funds for a special needs school, to helping impoverished neighborhoods gain financial independence through entrepreneurship.
Huruma Children's Home
Nestled away in the soft hills of Ngong, awaits an orphanage full of life. For over 20 years the Huruma Home has provided not only shelter, food, education, and spiritual guidance but most importantly love to hundreds of orphans in this region. Here volunteers can meet the needs of the children ranging in ages from infants to 17. Be it teaching in classrooms, to helping with building projects to tending to basic medical needs or simply loving those who have seen much hurt; there are endless opportunities to make a great impact.
African Network for the Prevention and Protection against Child Abuse and Neglect
The African Network for the Prevention and Protection against Child Abuse and Neglect (ANPPCAN) is a pan African network that promotes child rights and child protection in Africa. Headquartered in Nairobi, its mission is to enhance, in partnership with others, the prevention and protection of children from all forms of mistreatment, thus, ensuring that the rights and future of children are preserved. ANPPCAN works to end child workers in prostitution, trafficking of drugs, commercial agriculture and domestic workers.
Good Shepherd Children's Home
About a three hours drive north of Nairobi, just past the breath taking rift valley, travelers will find the quaint village of Nyahururu; a village buzzing with a life all its own. This same spirit can be found at the Good Shephards Children home. Here the directors are committed to serving the community. Not only by taking in those children who are in need, but also in empowering the community to be more self sufficient. Here volunteers can assist with the childrens daily needs, or help out with sustenance farming planning for the orphanage and local community, or even helping with a rebuilding project using an innovative brick design all efficiently made on the grounds.
