2025 Funding Goal

Our new Missions Accelerator program supports Christian leaders with early-stage and start-up mission projects through investment, mentoring, connections, training and development. Think “Kickstarter”, but for mission projects. 

“Our mission is to bring yours to life.”

This year, with current partners our aim is to 

House 10 families

Start 10 church gatherings 

Develop 10 new mission projects

Provide clean water for 1000 people 

We’ve spent the last year working with Christian business leaders who are looking for ways to invest their skills and knowledge into sustainable projects. And we’ve come alongside missional leaders across the US with creative churches and mission projects that are serving the poor and saving souls. 

In 2025, we’re bringing those worlds together with our Missions Accelerator. Think Kickstarter, but for mission work. We will coach missional leaders through building sustainable projects that they then get to “pitch” through video to a group of selected business leaders who will have the opportunity to anonymously view the different investment opportunities. 

Business leaders can provide: Space, funding, opportunity, mentorship, and/or helpful connections with other resources and people that can help bring these projects to life. Business leaders can also simply choose to “sponsor” a church planter and help fund their efforts in their ministry. 

Missional leaders have the opportunity to sharpen their vision and focus on sustainability while potentially accessing partnerships with trusted business leaders. 

We’ve found that that the faith of these missional leaders strengthen these business owners in an area that they are seeking guidance in. 

It’s a win for the business leader. It’s a win for the missional leader. And it’s a win for the people living in hell on earth that don’t yet know the love, grace and power of Jesus Christ.

Identifying the right leaders and making the right connections are things we do well. So this year, we’re going to to do a lot of it, and with this new Missions Accelerator, we can reach further and see more stories of radical life transformation. 

2024-2025

We Focused on a Foundation for:

Education

• We launched our YouTube Channel to begin teaching the history around the “missional Church” 
• We came alongside +30 Business Leaders and +40 missional leaders through coaching, training and support. 
• We built curriculum for missional and business leaders.
• We finished and published our research on the history of the Methodist Movement in the 1700’s that changed the world.

Identifying and Supporting Leaders on Mission

• We started a home church in southern California (at no cost) that baptized more than 20 people.
• We sent 11k to a family church devastated by the hurricane in NC.
• Our parent non-profit back in MD started “River Church” (my friend and co-author of our research, Adam Munshaw took the lead on this) that met outside each week and baptized people in the river that the outdoor gathering overlooked. (They meet inside now. It’s cold.)
• Raised the funds for a water well with a partner church that will serve 400 families.

Swedish Ministry 

• We moved full-time to Sweden and gathered a board and started a Swedish non-profit to continue our work in Europe.
• We began gathering with a missional church in a “village” next to the one where we live and created partnerships with Forge (A global church planting and training organization that has a branch in Sweden. I was invited on to their lead team) and Bet:L (our local church here who have graciously taken us in and “sent us out” as local missionaries.)

Most Important Takeaways From Year One

1. Christian Business Leaders have a deep desire to invest their talents (not only their money) into sustainable Kingdom work. 
2. Church planters and missional leaders are focused on mission and discipleship and living out their faith and are looking for mentorship and funding for their mission projects. 
3. We believe that societies are elevated when the individuals are given “permission” to step up and be the Body of Christ, rather than waiting for a government or traditional church to do it for them. And there are SO many people being the church outside of the traditional church. 

So the major question arose: How can we connect more missional leaders with the right business leaders to lift people out of hell on earth?
