Our Story

Our story began with a boy named Jacob. Jacob was a student who was from a very broken family. He had great physical needs, and he touched our heart in many ways. After working with Jacob for years, our eyes became more open to the brokenness that surrounds us every day.

God used Jacob’s Story to tug further on our heart, and the Holy Spirit revealed a calling for us to go to the broken and to the hurting all across the globe. After our first summer of mission trips to the Dominican Republic, our heart melted as we were exposed to even more needs. There was particularly a great need for beds in the Dominican Republic. The harsh reality is that countless children are without a bed and have no means of getting one. This need continued to circle in our minds, leaving us to ask God, “What can we do to help?” We took this home with us and began to pray. The incredible need for beds for children everywhere continued to be a leading influence in our ministry journey.

Then later, God spoke to our hearts in the summer of 2021 while reading Luke 9:60. We had read this scripture many times in the past, but this time, the Holy Spirit brought urgency to it: “Let the dead bury the dead, but as for you, go proclaim the Kingdom of God.” The Bible is so much more than just words on a page. It is “alive and active, sharper than a two-edged sword” (2 Timothy 3:16). On this day, God’s word came alive in our hearts, and He directed us to stop waiting for “better timing” and to go be a part of The Great Commission in a new way.

One step at a time, God led us, and Find Your Rest Ministries was born!

The Ministry

We live in restless times, and people everywhere are broken and worn. Regardless of location, there are countless needs—both physical and spiritual. Find Your Rest believes that our heavenly Father cares about these needs. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and save us from our sins. For this reason, the love of Jesus Christ is the heart of the ministry. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus and go to the broken and the weary to demonstrate this life-changing love. This alone brings true rest and peace.

Find Your Rest builds bunk beds and delivers them to families in need to help provide physical rest. This opens a door of opportunity to take Bibles and the Gospel into homes to provide an even greater need for spiritual rest. Find Your Rest aims to make every child feel special, so they can rest assured in knowing that they are deeply loved beyond their wildest imaginations by our wonderful God.

When children do not get the sleep they need, they are likely to suffer from both physical and mental side effects. Therefore, the families we help will no doubt benefit from the physical rest that comes from a good night’s sleep in a comfortable, cozy bed. Ultimately, though, families will benefit most by becoming lovers of Jesus, who is the Prince of Peace and the source of true rest. We pray for this ministry to ignite a spiritual flame in local churches, inspiring them to permanently partner with the families we serve. Through this fellowship, our hope is to lead as many Find Your Rest families to the kingdom of God as possible.
