Charities We Love

One of our favorite churches is Citadel Square Church, for it is a verse-by-verse Bible teaching church in downtown Charleston, committed to discipleship, raising the next generation, and sharing the gospel locally and globally. We love sponsoring people to go on mission trips to share the love of God with others.

This year, we are partnering with our global partners at Covenant Church to serve in Khon Kaen, Thailand. During our time there, we will serve the staff, encourage believers, and participate in community outreach and service projects. This mission's trip is not a vacation, but an incredible opportunity to work alongside my daughter in a place far outside of our comfort zone and time zone to make an eternal difference not only in the lives of those we serve, but also within us.

My hope is to encourage them in their personal walk with Jesus Christ by sharing many of the life changing biblical financial and relational principles that have made the greatest impact in my life. Citadel Square Church has graciously covered the cost of this mission trip. However, each member of the team has personally committed to fund raising for the church to continue in its mission work. If you feel led to pray and help us each reach our fundraising commitment, you can give through...

Your contributions are tax-deductible gifts made to Citadel Square Church, not to any individual member of the team. Therefore, contributions are non-refundable, even if something prevents team members such as Dustin or Anna from going.

Since 1899, this ministry has helped fund the distribution of free Bibles worldwide. When I received a free Bible as a college student, reading it changed my life and continues to do so. Now I purchase Bibles to give out freely to others. A case of 100 ESV New Testaments purchased from The Gideons International, as a member, costs $205. Here in Charleston, I have the opportunity to place God’s Word into the hands of people who come here from around the world. 

We support this ministry because it powerfully shows how the Gospel can transform lives. Through prison outreach, discipleship, and testimony, On The Rock Ministries brings hope to those who are incarcerated and helps break cycles of addiction, crime, and despair by pointing people to the redeeming grace of Jesus Christ.

One of the most powerful, life-changing ministries is the Men’s Hike. It’s incredible what God can do in a man’s heart when he takes time to unplug, get away, and reconnect with Him. Even if someone has never hiked or camped before, camping gear is shared, and regular training and preparation meetings help men hit the trail ready for both adventure and growth.

We love helping provide scholarships so more men can participate. If you would like to help, please make your check payable to:
