Together we will be known as a Catalyst for change.
Before you were a leader. Before you had a name. Before you had a voice, a face, or a form, you were known by God. You have always been on His mind, known as a member of His household, emblazoned on His hands and heart. Your significance and security is found solely in that belonging. Why would you exchange a noble inheritance for a pedestrian life? Why would you measure your worth through a dimly lit mirror provided by this world? Our identity, our calling, our legacy cannot be measured with a yardstick of our own design. When you lead authentically, with an inner confidence birthed by your Creator, when you are willing to be true and vulnerable before God and others, you become a leader without pretense. A leader worth following. You can only know where you are headed, when you know where you’ve come from. There is a voice that gently reminds you. It is fatherly and familiar. It reorients you to where you are, who you are, and most importantly, Whose you are. That you are essential. That you are Known. The God who knows all, knows me. I can know my calling, because I am known. Together we will be known as a Catalyst for change.

THE MAKER’S MARKET 6 projects. 6,000 handmade products created. $80k invested by the Catalyst community in support of men and women who are working their way out of poverty into a flourishing new life.
C O M PA S S I O N I N T E R N AT I O N A L Catalyst invests in the lives of children around the world through sponsorships with Compassion International. Together, we have sponsored over 5000 children in the last five years.
At the heart of the Gospel is love. When we participate in restoring what is broken in our world, we fulfill our calling as agents of change and serve as signposts for the coming Kingdom. Catalyst is passionate about promoting reconciliation by introducing you to innovative approaches to fight injustice. Over the years, the Catalyst community has aided in bringing clean water to millions, helped lift children out of poverty, promoted an adoption movement, confronted human trafficking and slavery, and assisted in creating lives of dignity and sustainability through microfinance funding and job creation. We believe that to whom much is given much is required, so as leaders and influencers we carry a heavy burden to fight for the broken, the poor and the marginalized. Our goal is to continually raise awareness for projects that are impacting the lives of those in need and together push back darkness wherever it may be found.
