A message from Gene & Jordana Engebretsen Ministry Directors

What joy it is to serve alongside so many believers as we travel the world sharing the love God has placed within us with a beautiful group of people around the globe. We would like to expand this potential by bringing ever increasing numbers of Christian believers to introduce children, youth and families with disabilities to our Lord and embark on a happy and rich life of faith.

We are daily experiencing God's love and grace to enrich our lives through His call and blessings brought into other's lives no matter where they are found in the world. God's power is not bottled up in a small corner of the world where we often frequent, no He is fulfulling His work in every corner and changing our world in amazing ways through people like you and us who are willing and desiring to make a difference.

Summer Christian Camps

The many experiences we have with special needs children, youth and families has convinced us so much that God is excited to bring them into a rich and meaningful relationship with Him and will use each one to impact this world with great victory over evil. While overcoming huge obstacles resulting from blindness and mobility impairment, Jordana has found herself able to continue with great fulfillment because God is about using anyone who makes themselves available for His life worth living.

Destiny for many families dealing with disabilities seems to be bound up by their view of living a restrictive life focusing on their limitations rather than looking at life with a hope reflecting upon God's overcoming power to use them for His purpose in spite of their personal limitations. We are delighted to demonstrate through everyday life that God is for the disabled to empower them with a radiant joy that will defeat all adds stacked againsted them by this world's expectation.

It is a pure joy to open our hearts to lead others into a life of unlimited expectancy for God to work through each of us to fulfill a great purpose and value He designed for us. Come along with us and truly change our world in so many ways as Jesus taught us through His ministry here on this earth. Come have a bundle of fun changing our world!

Who are we?

People from around the world with diverse experiences and Christian influences who acknowledge Jesus as Lord and are inspired by God's Word to serve others. Our focus is upon reaching out to the families, children, and youth who are living with disabilities and invite them to meet Jesus and have a genuine encounter that will bridge their abilities with His love and grace.

Our beliefs:

  • The Bible is God's inspired word
  • The Word is our Authority
  • Jesus' birth, life, death and resurrection is our redemption
  • In divine health and prosperity of our body, soul and spirit
