About Us

Empowering Hearts,
Transforming Lives
Welcome to our Mission - a journey ignited by a shared passion and an unwavering dedication to elevate and embolden women and vulnerable populations worldwide. Inaugurated in 2022 by the visionary duo of Kathy Maurer and Keisa Capers, whose combined cross-cultural ministry experience spans an impressive forty-nine years, our ministry stands as a radiant beacon of hope and encouragement.

Kathy Maurer and Keisa Capers, luminaries in their own right, converged with a common purpose - to empower and uplift those who tirelessly dedicate themselves to creating positive change within their communities. Fueled by compassion and a deep sense of responsibility, our founders embarked on this mission to provide unwavering support to those at the forefront of transformative kingdom work. Central to our mission is a heart for women—We believe in the potential of every woman to rise above her circumstances and thrive, and we are committed to walking alongside her on that journey.

With a steadfast commitment to cross-cultural understanding and profound respect for the diversity that enriches our world, we have embarked on a remarkable journey. Our foundation is built upon the belief that every individual, regardless of their background, holds within them the potential to spark meaningful change. Through our collaborative efforts, we strive to create a ripple effect that extends far beyond borders, touching lives and fostering progress on a global scale.

Our ministry serves as a bridge between dreams and reality. We offer a space for ideas to take root, for connections to grow, and for lives to be transformed. Grounded in empathy and fortified by decades of experience, we walk alongside those who seek to make a difference, helping them flourish as they pursue their God-given purpose.

Join us in this incredible journey. Let’s cultivate change, amplify voices, and bring light to every corner of the world.
