There is a lot of kingdom work happening in the world right now. Missionaries in places most people will never go. Artists making things that point people toward the Lord. Retreat centers creating space to breathe and hear from the Lord. Church planters starting something from nothing in cities that need the gospel. Coffee houses and community spaces built by people who believe hospitality is ministry.
And most of them are worried about where the money will come from to keep doing it.
Not because they lack faith. Not because the Lord is not faithful. But because the gap between the work they are called to and the resources they need is real, and navigating it takes time and energy that could be going somewhere else.
I grew up on the mission field. My parents gave their lives to kingdom work and spent much of that time figuring out how to fund it. I watched them travel to churches, make calls, write letters, and trust the Lord in the spaces between what they needed and what came in. It was beautiful and it was hard, and it shaped the way I see the world.
As I got older I found myself close to that world again and again. Family members still on the mission field. Friends in vocational ministry. Conversations around dinner tables and cups of coffee with people doing extraordinary things, carrying the quiet weight of financial uncertainty. I always felt a pull to go myself. But if I am honest, watching my parents navigate support raising made it feel like a mountain I was not sure I wanted to climb. I understood it. I respected it. I just kept wondering if there was a better way.
My own path wound through a few different worlds before it led here. Out of college I chased financial stability at a tech startup, doing what felt practical and responsible. But the pull toward something more meaningful never went away. So I stepped into it, spending a season in vocational ministry and working in hospitality, living close to people, close to community, close to the kind of work that feels like it matters. Those years shaped me more than I realized at the time.
Then my path took one more turn. I moved into wealth management, working alongside families who take their faith and generosity seriously. And suddenly I found myself sitting across the table from people on the complete other side of the equation I had always known.
Generous Christians with real resources and a genuine desire to see their money do kingdom work. People who wanted to give strategically, to find organizations doing serious work, to be more than just donors. They wanted to be partners.
What struck me was that both of these people existed in the same world and could not find each other. The ministry leader with a God-given vision and not enough runway. The generous believer with a heart for the kingdom and no reliable way to discover where their resources could go. They were looking for the same thing from opposite directions.
And I realized I had spent my whole life standing in the gap between them.
Waymark is my attempt to close that gap. A waymark points a traveler in the right direction, tells them they are on the right path, and sends them forward with confidence. That is what this platform is meant to be. A waymark for the kingdom, pointing generous believers toward the work the Lord is calling them to fund, and pointing ministries toward the people the Lord is calling to come alongside them.
This is not just a business idea. This is something the Lord put on my heart and would not let go of. I believe He is still working through the hands and resources of His people. I believe there is more kingdom work waiting to happen if the right connections get made. And I believe that one of the most faithful things I can do with the skills and relationships He has given me is to spend them building something that serves both sides of that equation.
I am working on your behalf. Whether you are a ministry with a dream and a budget that does not quite match, or someone with resources and a longing to see them matter for the kingdom, I am building this for you.
The Lord is still writing this story. Waymark is one chapter of it. I would love for you to be part of what comes next.
