Our work is Integrated Community Transformation in the heart of Santiago. We long to experience the Kingdom of God in our everyday lives, on earth as it is in heaven. We do this by joining others in their work and investing in what God has already created them to do so they can share it with others.

We are sustainably integrating business with community impact so that the body of Christ can live out the way of Jesus alongside others.
