Equipping and transforming communities in the name of Jesus Christ

STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION

Take a moment to hear the story of Alexis.

  • In the 2023–2024 school year, a staggering 72,644 students dropped out of schools across Ecuador. This urgent issue—reported by Ecuador’s Ministry of Education—demands our immediate attention.

  • In rural areas especially, families often live on $1–2 per day, which forces children to work and leave school.

  • Nearly 25% of dropouts are due to lack of financial resources—for uniforms, school supplies, and transportation.

  • Up to 50–60% of school disengagement is tied to not learning foundational skills in reading and math, leading to discouragement.

What Drives Us

  • To see redeemed children and youth who experience the transforming power of God in their lives, families, and communities.

  • To equip at-risk children and youth with academic, emotional, and spiritual tools so they can positively and effectively address the challenges and problems around them.

  • EMPOWERMENT

    We empower all members of our community and organization (participants, employees, volunteers, donors, prayer partners etc.) to take part in the kingdom of God and the mission that it calls us to live.  We promote a sense of co-responsibility and commitment to the work of Jesus Christ.

    HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT

    We believe in the holistic healing and restoration of the individual.  We foster an environment of flexibility and patience where children, youth and young adults can feel safe to learn and grow in every area of their lives (emotional, intellectual, missional, physical, social and spiritual). We are convinced that this holistic approach will equip a new generation of young people to make change for the kingdom of God in their families, churches and communities.

    INTEGRITY

    We always strive to do the right thing. We are genuine and transparent in our relationships and financial transactions. We make sure to commit only to things that we know we have the tools to complete and complete well.

    RESTORED RELATIONSHIP

    We believe that God calls us to relationship with him and to model that relationship in the world.  Through Christ-like relationships we defend and serve the restoration of human dignity and we strive to see the formation of healthy relationships churches, families and communities.

    SUSTAINABILITY

    We are building ministries and programs that will continue serving God and their communities long after their founders.  We reuse and recycle both as a source of healthy income and as a way to conserve our environment.  We also provide jobs and competitive pay to help sustain our surrounding communities beyond the walls of our youth training programs.
