Ready To Rise
A new look for the same calling — and a new chapter in the work you've helped make possible.
A Letter from Bobby & Tamitha
Fourteen years ago, we stood on a hilltop above Quito with a one-year-old on our hip and said yes to a vision we didn't yet know how to pay for.
Today, that yes has grown into homes, schools, communities, and partner sites across Ecuador and beyond. The work has outgrown the brand. So we built one that can carry it.
Today we're introducing a new look for Project M:25: brighter colors, a bolder identity, and a symbol at the center of it all — the kite.
The kite tells our story. Every child we serve begins against the wind. Circumstances stacked against them before they can even name what they're facing. But with the right lift — safety, love, people who stay — they rise. They take flight. They soar.
From surviving to thriving. That's the heart of it.
Our name comes from Matthew 25, where Jesus describes whole-person love: feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, visiting the sick. It's the same kind of holistic care we work to bring every child — body, mind, spirit, all of it. Because we believe every child is created with purpose, and no circumstance gets the final word over their story.
The kite is also, simply, a symbol of play. Of running across a field, head tilted up, laughing. That's the childhood we believe every kid deserves — and the kind of healing our work is built around. Not just safety. Not just survival. Joy.
This new look reflects who we've always been and where we're headed next. Thank you for walking with us.

Where We've Been
This rebrand isn't a fresh start. It's a next step. For fourteen years, this work has been built one relationship at a time — one filter installed, one child welcomed, one pastor trained, one home visited month after month after month. The mission hasn't changed.

What's Ahead · 2026
The wind is picking up.
Right now, more pastors are asking for training than we've ever been able to host. More churches in more countries are inviting our model into their communities. More children — children we've never met — are waiting for someone to walk with them from surviving into thriving.

Not for growth's sake — but because the children are ready, the leaders are ready, and the wind is at our back.
One Child at a Time
Davey lifted his head.
Davey used to walk with his head down. Quiet. Trying to disappear.
At a week of children's programming, his leader didn't rush to fix him. She made space. She greeted him at eye level every afternoon. She anchored him in something true:
God made you on purpose. God calls you His. You belong.
Then she asked him to try something brave. Lift your head when you say it.
He did.
On the last day, Davey whispered a prayer no one will forget:
"Thank You God… that I belong."
That's what rising looks like. Not dramatic. Not instant. A child who carried weight he was never meant to carry, learning — slowly, safely — to look up.
That's what your support makes possible. Not just programs. Not just water filters or backpacks or curriculum. The room a child gets to grow up in. The voice that finally tells them the truth about who they are.

Your Role in What's Next
Be the Lift.
A kite needs wind to rise. But it also needs someone holding the string. Someone running with it. Someone who stays.
For every child we serve, that's you.
This new chapter takes more of everything — more partners, more homes, more leaders, more children learning what it feels like to be seen, safe, and loved. We can't do it without the people who choose to stand in the wind with us.
Two ways to step in today:
One Time Gift
Make a one-time launch gift to fuel the next chapter — the International Training Center, expanded Give Water reach, training for thousands of new leaders, and four safe homes for trafficking survivors.
Make a one-time launch gift
Monthly Support
Monthly giving is what makes twelve-month presence possible. It's how Davey's leader could still be there in week six. In week twelve. In the years it takes for a child to know — really know — that they belong.
$25 · $50 · $100 monthly tiers
Every gift is tax-deductible. Project M:25 Missions is a registered 501(c)(3).
"From surviving to thriving."
Thank you for walking with us into this next chapter.
The kite is rising — and so are the children.
