Founders

We are passionate and creative independent missionaries from New York. Our names are Ian and Jessica Baes. We have been married for over 17 years and have 4 beautiful children, plus 2 fur babies!  We are so grateful for the beautiful family that God has blessed us with.

Madison (our eldest daughter), 21 yo, is currently studying Nursing at Southeastern University, and serving as a US ARMY soldier.

Ava (our second oldest daughter), 17 yo, is currently studying Social Work & Criminal Justice at Southeastern University.

Taylor (our youngest daughter), 15 yo, is a student in a Colombian High School, and is serving as a dance teacher and assistant at the foundation.

Caleb (our youngest & only son), 12 yo, is a student in a Colombian High school, and enjoys playing with the students we get to love on.

Lastly, we have our fur babies, Rocky & Leah who make our family complete!

We are a crazy family that loves to have fun, explore new places, try new foods, and spend time together.

Jesus is the center of our lives, and we are passionate about making Him famous. We were called to make a difference and be the change we want to see in this world.

During the pandemic, we were able to slow down from the “busy-ness” of life. And in that stillness, we felt called and knew that it was time for a change. We had no idea what our mission was going to look like or where; We just knew with all of our hearts we were going to serve vulnerable children and teens; and God would be with us wherever that was.  So we sold everything we had and left New York with just a suit case full of clothes and big dreams in our hearts. And on January 23rd, 2021 our crazy International journey began!

Today our dreams that were once really scary have became a reality thanks to our God and incredible people who love, support, and pray with us and for us.
