Our Story
Our calling is simple: to see people come alive in Christ.
Over the years, we’ve seen that lasting transformation doesn’t start on a stage or a trip—it starts in the home. When families are rooted in God’s presence, everything changes. Peace replaces striving. Identity replaces insecurity. And mission becomes overflow, not obligation.
Our journey has taken us from local ministry to the nations—from youth missions in Guatemala to evangelism and ministry in Africa, and now into everyday discipleship right here in Austin.
In those places, we witnessed the transforming power of the gospel—people encountering Jesus, being healed, set free, and filled with the Holy Spirit. We saw the words of Isaiah 61 come to life: good news proclaimed, captives set free, and lives restored. These moments marked us and awakened a deeper calling.

A Life of Abiding
For years, we lived what we now call “busy Christianity”—sincere, but striving, missing the peace Jesus promised. God invited us into something deeper: a life of abiding, where the home becomes a place of formation and ordinary moments become holy ground.We began to experience the Kingdom the way Jesus described it:“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant who found a pearl of great value; he sold everything to possess it.” — Matthew 13:45–46In laying down our lives, we discovered what it means to be fully alive—walking in purpose, identity, and communion with God.We believe the home is both an altar and an outpost—a place of encounter with God and a place of equipping to be sent. Psalm 127–128 reshaped our vision: God’s primary design for reaching the world is not programs, but households under His reign. Our children are not accessories to ministry—they are arrows being formed in peace and purpose, prepared in His timing.These experiences have led us to give our lives fully to this calling—mobilizing others into mission, from our city to the nations.In everything we do, we desire to live near the heart of God—operating from His presence and walking with others toward healing, identity, and mission.And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.” - Exodus 33:14
