“When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread… Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’”
— John 21: 9,12

Before sending, Jesus gathered His disciples around a fire. He met them with food, presence, and restoration before mission. At Lowfire, we take the same posture: tending the fire on the shore, creating space for others to step close, strengthen the work already happening, and continue the mission.

About Lowfire

What We Do

Lowfire connects people with small, faithful missions and makes it easier to stand with them.
We design and lead simple mission trips in partnership with local leaders, handle the logistics, and carry their stories further, so the work on the ground can keep growing.

Strengthening Missions, Fueling Discipleship


Why We Exist

Across the world, pastors and missionaries serve quietly with limited time and reach. They don’t need replacing - they need steady friends, extra hands at the right time, and help getting their story in front of the people who would care most.
Lowfire was built to do that work: connect, serve, and amplify without adding a burden.

How a Trip Works

1) Co-design with the host: We start with the mission’s real needs and capacity. Dates, team size, daily rhythm, and a designated gift for the partner are agreed up front.
2) Prepare the team: We handle travel, safety, expectations, and context so teams arrive ready to help and to learn.
3) Live and serve together: Teams work shoulder-to-shoulder with the mission, share meals, practice simple rhythms of reflection, and spend time in wild places that open people up to listen and see.
4) Carry the story home: We create modest, honest storytelling and clear next steps so advocacy and support continue after the trip.

Hands in together

What Makes Us Different

  • Mission-first, not program-first. Every decision starts with the host ministry’s health.
  • Light-touch leadership. We facilitate the space; local leaders set the tone. No guru, no show.
  • Do-no-harm guardrails. Written MOUs, capped team sizes, hosting stipends, and rest days
  • Real transparency. Trip materials state exactly what goes to the host, what covers logistics, and what supports the connector engine.
  • Storytelling that serves. Photos, words, and short films exist to help the mission - not to center us.

Our Commitments

  • People over product. No packed agendas; we protect margin for conversation, prayer, and rest.
  • Context over control. The host culture leads. We listen first.
  • Safety & care. Legit insurance, basic standards, and conservative calls in the field.
  • Financial clarity. Clean books, post-trip impact briefs, and open answers to hard questions.

Where We’re Starting

Nicaragua is our first anchor, with additional partners coming online as relationships and capacity allow. Growth will be slow by design—quality over coverage.

A Word from the Founder-I’ve tried to carry more than I should. What finally clicked was simple: the mission should speak for itself. My job is to be a brother and a builder, create structure, ask good questions, keep things clear, and let the work on the ground do the teaching. That’s Lowfire. --Khata

How to Engage

  • Host a team – If you lead a mission and want to explore a fit, let’s talk.
  • Bring a group – If you’re a pastor or leader, we’ll co-design a trip around your people and a vetted partner.
  • Support the engine – Monthly or one-time gifts keep the connector running and the missions resourced.
