We build engines of transformation— where charity ends and real change begins.
Mission & Vision
We Ignite Nations (WIN) is a movement transforming under-resourced individuals and communities through locally led, faith-based solutions to poverty and modern slavery.
WIN is actively shaping innovative models at the intersection of Christian faith, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. We are committed to strategic generosity that empowers rather than enables.
Our vision is to see whole communities and nations transformed from poverty and oppression to hope and wholeness... in Jesus' name.

Walking Where the Apostles Walked—And Carrying the Gospel Forward
“Here some of the first Christians died for their faith.” The realization hit me with unexpected surprise. When I was invited earlier this year by a pastor couple named Apostol and Albena to minister in their native Bulgaria, I didn't realize how close we would be to where the Apostles walked. The first eureka came when I glimpsed a highway sign pointing the way to…Thessalonika! The second came as my feet rested on a massive marble stone composing part of an ancient Roman amphitheater. Dating to the first century, this mini colosseum once hosted all kinds of violent “entertainment” including the execution of Christians. But now, the local believers are considering renting this very amphitheater to host an open-air evangelistic event!
Speaking of which, upon arrival I was surprised to learn that, along with training of leaders during the day, I was to bring the salvation message for multiple small-scale...

Pioneers in Transformation
“In northern India, one of the most hardened, unreached and difficult areas of the world, Leanna is pioneering and leading a work that is transforming a nation. Today, WIN's vision to end child trafficking and illiteracy among millions of needy children may seem overzealous. I would not have believed it unless I had touched this work personally. But God is doing it! Leanna’s team through WIN is well on their way to seeing this vision become a reality.”
