JOURNEYING TOGETHER

FUNDAMENTAL BELIEF

We believe that the local church is the visible expression of God's heart in every community and the agent of transformation.

We believe every community has undiscovered gifts and solutions. We don't import solutions. We walk with, listen, equip, and catalyze the dreams of each community through mutual learning and action.

We partner with the local church to reflect God's love & transformation in every village — and communities flourishing from the inside out.

Ministry Models

We've partnered with a local church to develop leaders who now lead weekly Kids Club programs, assist with English Courses, medical clinics, nutrition & health programs, clean water projects and village wide sports carnivals to engage the young people in the community.

The church also facilitates a youth-led weekly Kids Club, English classes for the community annually, annual medical clinics, health programs, intergenerational sports events, and a clean water project.

As these initiatives grew, the community began to dream bigger. Launched in mid-2025, Paulo Pre-School is a community-owned preschool It conducts a daily nutrition program and offers a safe and nurturing space for 3–5 year-olds. It is run by locally trained teachers and supported by parents through cooking, cleaning, and active involvement.

The preschool has become a simple yet powerful model of community transformation — a community dreaming and building for generations to come.

 

Together, these simple and consistent efforts show how walking alongside a local church can spark holistic, grounded, and sustainable impact in a rural community.
