BORN IN CRISIS
COVID Lockdowns : With churches closed and pastors struggling to support their families and congregations, KIDS stepped into help. We partnered with over 500 pastors to provide food, helping them serve their communities. This simple act of support sparked an entirely new ministry—Church Connect.
Kape’tid: In 2020, as pastors came to pick up food for their communities, we invited them for coffee ('Kape' in Tagalog) to talk about life—church, family, and personal struggles. These conversations evolved into a powerful support network.Today, 15-40 pastors from 14 denominations gather twice a week for Kape'tid ('brotherhood'). They come together to share about life, family, and how God is working in their lives.
Training and development: Now connected with over 800 pastors across the Philippines, we launched conferences in 2021 to support and equip them. Many serve in ultra-poor communities and have never attended seminary. Over 4 years, we've hosted 14 conferences with over 3,500 pastors, empowering them to strengthen their families, churches, and communities.
Since 2020
