As God has blessed the Christian Real Estate Network over the years, we’ve been grateful for the opportunity to be able to partner with and build awareness for various ministries & missions organizations around the world. We love to be part of what God is doing and encourage you to take a moment to review the some of the ministries below and consider joining us in actively praying and/or supporting them.
Darwin & annie torres
The Torres Family is in active ministry in the city of Cusco, located high in the Andes mountains in Peru. They have spearheaded multiple ministries in the area ranging from training local pastors, children’s programs, outreaches to hard to reach native populations and much more. Darwin is pastoring the Church Calvary La Semilla which was started in 2016. Please be praying for Darwin, Annie & their sweet family as they share the Gospel and minister in a difficult political climate and multiple challenges due to Covid. You can donate to the ministry on the Rocky Mountain Calvary missions page under “Calvary La Semilla”.
bridge youth center
The Bridge is an outreach ministry to teenagers in Canon City, CO. In a community with over a dozen prisons, the Bridge seeks to be a place of refuge for kids that are unchurched and have no context for a Biblical worldview. The ministry serves hundreds of kids per week and has been having a deep impact in the community since 2016. The heart of the Bridge is to earn the right to share the love of Christ and forge lifelong relationships with students. You can join their weekly prayer team by texting “prayer” to 866-218-9111.
Agape Bags
Agape Bags is a simple ministry to the homeless that shows God's love through providing drawstring bags (sometimes known as “Blessing Bags”) filled with items for everyday needs along with the Gospel message. The ministry provides free starter bags that you can fill with food, and necessities that can then be handed out to homeless or used in outreach ministries. The website provides tools and resources to get started and tips on how to run your own homeless outreach or run an event at your Church.
Zully Ruano
Zully is a full time missionary in Mallorca, Spain. She was called to Spain in early 2019 to create an international Christian school with the purpose of not only teaching children but to reach them and their families with the love of Christ. Spain currently has a population of nearly 50 million, but only 1% are evangelical Christians. The need is great! In Zully’s words: “In addition to establishing a Christian school, my long term goal is to strategically use Spain’s geographical location to prepare and send missionaries to its neighboring countries in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.” To learn more about her mission & about ways you can support her ministry, please visit her blog below.
Crazy Faith Street Ministry
The Crazy Faith Street Ministry is an outreach to the homeless in Pueblo, CO. The ministry is not simply a handout to those in need, but an active relationship based ministry with the goal of introducing people to Christ and eventually getting them off the streets. They serve a free breakfast on Sundays followed by a Church service and are truly in the trenches being the hands and feet of Jesus. Please consider supporting this small ministry making a big impact.
Nancy Schipke
Nancy is celebrating 6 years of full time ministry in the mission field serving alongside new Calvary Chapel church plants throughout Mexico. She is currently the Mission Director at the bi-lingual church plant Calvary Chapel Maranatha in Mazatlan, Mexico.
Whether directing visiting mission teams, teaching and coordinating women’s Bible studies, helping with the children’s ministry, being part of the prayer team or coordinating events and outreaches for the church, Nancy is grateful to be serving with the Lord full time in Mexico.

Access Youth Ministry
In youth ministry today, we find tremendous gaps in resourcing the Church to accommodate and assimilate both kids and leaders with chronic illness and/or disabilities.
Access Youth Ministry (AYM) is a new 501(c)(3) organization founded after decades of local and national youth ministry leadership and experience. We are positioned to ignite the conversation and lead the development of resources, support and advocacy for kids, their families and youth leaders alike.
The founder, Don Talley, has served in local and national youth ministry leadership roles for over 36 years including in a VP position at Youth For Christ. He has traveled to 9 countries and over one million miles sharing his story and his faith in Jesus with thousands of people. Don uses a wheelchair because of his Muscular Dystrophy diagnosis and travels with his wife, Crissie.
Tiller Coaching - Jim Barnard
From a young age, I’ve struggled with depression beginning when my parents divorced. I was paralyzed by the chaos that this reality caused me. Eventually, I was able to meet Jesus and quickly became the class clown who felt like everything was good as long as people were smiling. That all came crashing down when my wife got terribly sick 3 months into our marriage… reality became too overwhelming. Disappointment, dissatisfaction, and distress became very real.
Over the past 15 years of watching my wife waste away, I have learned quite a bit and the Lord has provided in unique ways. He called me into counseling, community, and commitment. I received a master’s degree in leadership from Denver Seminary and have worked in the local church for roughly a decade.
Pastoral coaching has become my passion. Because of my story of suffering, I have found the ability to relate and empathize with people in their own story of suffering. At tiller, I desire to give away my time to coach others towards health (physically, mentally, emotionally, and especially spiritually).

Far Reaching ministries
Far Reaching Ministries (FRM), founded in 1998 by Wes Bentley, is a non-profit dedicated to spreading Christian teachings and providing humanitarian aid in conflict zones, especially Sudan. The organization supports local communities by establishing churches, training pastors, and offering discipleship programs. Additionally, FRM provides essential services such as medical care, education, and food distribution to alleviate suffering and promote sustainable development.
In Sudan, FRM's chaplaincy ministry is a cornerstone of their efforts, training indigenous chaplains to offer spiritual guidance and support in war-torn areas. These chaplains provide trauma counseling and emergency relief, focusing on the war-affected population. FRM also assists widows and orphans, runs safe houses for at-risk women and children, and works with local partners to make a lasting impact, delivering hope and aid to the most vulnerable.
CRU City - Chris & Elizabeth Mckinney
Chris (MDiv, Covenant Seminary) and Elizabeth McKinney live in Columbia, MO with their four daughters and a Pomeranian. They work for Cru City and serve as associate staff at their church, The Crossing. They write, speak and are passionate about helping people love their next-door neighbors.
Chris & Elizabeth have been guest speakers at the Christian Real Estate Network All-Member meetups and have a ministry we love that helps people live out their Kingdom-assigments right where God has placed them, in their own neighborhoods.
