As the ‘Director of MK Relations’, she mentors teens and college-aged children of missionaries, hosts monthly Bible studies and a yearly camp. She travels to other cities to meet with families along with providing rides, housing, financial assistance and being a resource for in-country needs.

India

In 2012, we began partnering with a ministry that was planting churches, caring for orphans, and providing for the most neglected and unreached people in the area. Since then, we’ve seen the ministry grow to two orphanage/school buildings, more than four hundred churches planted, and neighboring tribal groups reached with the gospel and clean water projects.

Nepal

In 2012, we began a church planting organization called ACPM (Asian Church Planting Mission) with representatives from Nepal, India, Bangladesh, and Bhutan. Since then, we’ve seen more than 750 churches planted in these hard-to-reach areas. We provide church planter training, financial resources for pastors and orphans, and ongoing support to our partners there.

Elevate Christian Church

In 2021, we sent our youth pastor Rob Harlamert and a launch team from Catalyst to south Lexington to plant our first daughter church Elevate Christian Church. Meeting at Lexington Christian Academy, they are doing a great job of making Jesus known in the south Lexington area and beyond.
