When I first learned about Empower Dreams, what caught my attention was a promise that seemed almost too good to be true: 100% of every donation goes directly to the projects. No overhead taken from gifts. The board of directors personally funds all administrative expenses. As someone who cares deeply about stewardship, this was the kind of accountability I had been looking for.
But what kept me giving was not just the financial model — it was the relationships. Brent and Kris do not just write checks to far-off organizations. They visit the field, build personal relationships with every partner, and carefully vet each project for effectiveness and faithfulness. When I give through Empower Dreams, I know my gift is going to a partner who has been personally visited and whose work has been witnessed firsthand.
Over the years, I have seen the fruit of this approach. Orphans in Kenya receiving education and love. Unreached communities in Africa hearing Scripture for the first time through audio Bibles. Discipleship movements growing in Asia. These are not hypothetical outcomes — they are real, documented results that I can track and celebrate.
I support Empower Dreams because I believe in the mission, I trust the leadership, and I have seen the impact. If you are looking for a way to make your giving count for eternity, I encourage you to join me.
