Ministry Short-term Travel Teams

We are in a unique stage of life where we have the experience, opportunity and still a bit of energy to lead short term youth and family missions trips where we disciple young people towards a transformative life of GOING where He leads.

Community Church Partnership

July 2026: In July, I will travel with a medical team from Cincinnati to serve alongside local medical professionals as we return to the orphanage in the jungle. We will spend several days with approximately 60 children there, as well as additional time in two orphanages in Cuenca. Our deeper desire is that each child would feel seen—both by us and by God. As we prepare, I am looking to raise $3,500 to help provide essential supplies for the team and the children we will serve. This includes children’s vitamins, socks and underwear, as well as feminine hygiene products for the girls—simple but meaningful items that communicate dignity, care, and love.

Volunteer Opportunities

Coming soon: Join us and make a difference for local children through Internships and Gap Year service projects.

Special Initiatives

Focused Financial Needs: This year we seek to raise $35,000 to equip and fund The Rock Foundation's Ecuadorian Technical Team in charge of training and preparing Foster Families in Ecuador. Click here to give.

Partnership with Casa Viva Costa Rica

WIth 20 years of experience in family based care programs, Casa Viva offers training and partnership for The Rock Foundation. June 2025 our Casa Viva partners will help us host a roundtable for judges in Ecuador to hear from judges in Costa Rica as they discuss the legal option of family-based care.
