Pastors
We support churches and pastors strengthening the core of the Body of Christ so that leaders and congregations can thrive and fulfill their God-given purpose.
If your ministry aligns with our mission, we’d love to hear from you.
Every application is personally reviewed by Supporting Stone team and we reply within two weeks.
We support ministries doing steady, on-the-ground work — many of them too small for traditional grant-writing.
We support churches and pastors strengthening the core of the Body of Christ so that leaders and congregations can thrive and fulfill their God-given purpose.
We equip ministries that reach youth and young adults with the Gospel — through academics, sports, life-skills training, and discipleship — raising up the next generation of followers of Jesus.
We support the poor, widows, and orphans through practical care, sharing the love of Christ in both word and deed.
We fund tangible, on-the-ground projects — grace haven homes, orphanages, rehab centers, and church buildings — giving ministries a lasting place to carry out the work God has called them to.
We come alongside believers carrying the Gospel into business and the workplace — stewarding their work, resources, and influence to advance God’s kingdom.

No. Many ministries we fund are unincorporated or operate under a church umbrella. If you have a fiscal sponsor or 501(c)(3), tell us. If not, we’ll figure out the path together.
No formal floor or ceiling. Most awards land between $2,000 and $40,000 for the year. Smaller, recurring needs are often the best fit.
Yes. We fund the work and the people doing the work. Pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders carry hidden weight; we want to lift it where we can.
We say so plainly and we tell you why. We’ll often suggest other places to write. A “no” from us is never a judgment of the work.
Yes — we welcome it. Seasons change, and so does our capacity. If circumstances shift, write again.
Only with your consent. Our initiatives list ministries by category and region first. Names and stories appear only when a ministry asks for them to.
astor Jerrad Vahsholtz serves as the lead pastor of the Emmett campus of Christian Faith Center (CFC) in Emmett, Idaho — part of a multi-location church family that exists to “Love People to Life.” Jerrad and his family have poured their hearts into this rural community of roughly 8,000 people since the location launched in 2025.
Under his leadership, the church has experienced meaningful growth and spiritual fruit. Average attendance has risen from 53 to around 65, more than 30 people are actively serving in ministry, and 86 individuals have made decisions for Christ since the campus opened. Every service includes a clear Gospel invitation, and the church uses the Rooted discipleship model to help new believers grow in their faith.
Jerrad’s ministry is deeply relational and family-oriented. He and his wife, along with much of their family, serve side-by-side, modeling what it means to follow Jesus together. With a bold vision to see 10,000 decisions for Christ and help reach 10 cities, Pastor Jerrad and the CFC Emmett team are faithfully advancing the Gospel in a region with few life-giving churches.
The $20,000 grant purchased a reliable van for Pastor Jerrad and his family to safely travel roughly 30 miles each way to serve and pastor at the Christian Faith Center campus in Emmett, Idaho — their previous vehicle was about to fail. This grant has been fully funded.
nited Hearts for Kids serves families and children across the Portland Metro who lack housing, warm clothes, or enough to eat. The work is weekly and the route stays the same so the relationships can build over time.
Every week the team distributes food, clothing, and Bibles to people on the route. The team shares meals, listens, and prays with anyone who is open to it.
The work runs on $2,000 a month — food, clothing, printed Scriptures, and gas. The team has been doing this every week and plans to continue as long as the Lord opens the door.
The full year of weekly distribution runs on $24,000 — the $2,000-a-month budget has been verified by Supporting Stone. So far in 2026, five of twelve months have been funded ($5,000), and seven months remain.
nashamed Clubs runs student-led, Christ-centered clubs in 17 middle and high schools across 8 cities in Washington and Oregon. Clubs meet on weekday afternoons in lunchrooms and classrooms.
Every club is student-led. Unashamed provides training, curriculum, and ongoing support — but the students run the meetings. Some students who first attended because a friend invited them have gone on to lead clubs of their own.
Beyond the clubs, the team trains student leaders, visits schools throughout the year, and hosts Revival Nights across the cities they serve. Funds cover curriculum, training events, and travel between the 17 schools.
Unashamed Clubs operates on $30,000 a year, half currently raised. Funds cover student-leader training, club curriculum, and Revival Nights across 17 schools. Pastor Bryson and Priscilla Still lead the work out of HungryGen Spokane.
any pastors in the North Caucasus serve small congregations without a salary or a way to take a sabbatical. Grace Haven Home is being built as a free retreat for those pastors and their families.
The home is a pastoral retreat in the North Caucasus. Pastors and their families can stay for a week, a month, or a season at no cost. Meals are provided. The goal is rest, so that when they return to their churches they have something left to give.
The building is in its final stage of construction — interior finishes, furnishings, and the basics of a home. Once complete, the home will host pastors year-round at no charge.
Construction of the retreat home is in its final stage. The $10,000 needed for the remaining interior work and furnishings has been fully funded. Once complete, Grace Haven will be available to pastors and ministry leaders at no cost.
Across the villages of Kyrgyzstan, children are far from civilization. They work the fields with their parents, hand-milk cows, harvest in the summer, and rarely see what’s beyond the next ridge. Ray of Hope works in those villages to bring the Gospel and practical help to those children.
The 2026 work is concrete: ten families on food assistance through the lean months, a children’s camp for twenty kids, school backpacks and uniforms for ten students, a Christmas gathering for sixty at the house of prayer, Easter food sets for thirty families, and medical aid where it’s needed.
Three adopted children have already been placed in Christ-centered homes this year — a four-year-old, a nine-year-old, and a fourteen-year-old. The team continues working family by family.
The current ask covers ten low-income families’ food, children’s camps for twenty kids, school supplies for ten, a Christmas gathering for sixty, and Easter food for thirty. $2,000 raised so far funds the children’s camp transportation and the most immediate humanitarian aid.
athaniel and Lea Manning lead worldwide Gospel work — crusades, JesusCamps, and training new evangelists. Their vision is to see this generation running after God, churches united, and the nations reached with the Gospel.
The 2026 calendar covers Iceland, Austria, Kenya, Uganda, Thailand, India, Taiwan, France, the Czech Republic, and a Japan scout trip. Tanzania closed in March with 288,302 decisions for Jesus, 430,466 people reached with the Gospel, and 6,789 instant healings logged by the team over five days. The Czech Republic crusade in May closed with 101 decisions and healings.
Beyond crusades, the JesusCamps train new evangelists — Manning’s projects raising up 185+ leaders this year. Funds cover travel, hotels, vehicles, crusade equipment, and the camera gear used to capture and broadcast the trips.
Manning’s on a Mission needs $36,055 to complete the remaining 2026 projects on the calendar — eight international Gospel campaigns, JesusCamps, and field gear. Monthly partner support of $2,000 covers ongoing operating costs (currently $5,500/month base).
