Upon The Waters
Paraguay, South America
Paraguay, South America
In October 2014, the Ratcliffe family (Peter, Evi and their six children) arrived in Paraguay, South America, in obedience to a clear call from Heaven to preach the gospel, bringing the love of Jesus Christ to unreached tribes. Despite losing their eldest daughter, Emily, in a tragic car accident in the summer of 2019, they have continued to serve the people of Paraguay faithfully and courageously. We as a church are invested, involved and connected in our relationship with the Ratcliffe family and their ministry, Upon The Waters. Our practical financial support helped them purchase a new all-terrain vehicle that sends them deep into the bush to effectively reach whole communities with the gospel message, food, supplies and ongoing discipleship programs.

Andrew and Emily Cordasco and their two young daughters are currently serving on a team in Bangkok with Campus2Campus, a global initiative to "exalt our redeemer King through disciple making and church multiplying movements from the campus, to the city, to the ends of the earth." C2C's big-picture goal is to see 100 global university cities of 100,000+ students reached for the gospel.
In Bangkok, which is estimated to have between 500,000 and 1 million college-aged students, Andrew and Emily spend their days in language study, on-campus ministry and family groups. As they share the gospel and build relationships with Thai students, they have seen Thai friends give their lives to Jesus and many others express an interest in learning more. During Sunday morning gatherings, Friday-night family groups and other touch points throughout the week, the Cordasco family enjoys fellowship with Thai friends as they study God's Word together and begin taking steps toward indigeneity, their ultimate goal.
Foundations Church is blessed to partner with the Cordascos as they eagerly labor for God's church to grow and His kingdom to come — in Thailand as it is in Heaven! You can learn more about Campus2Campus here.

SOLU
Israel
Israel
SOLU is an indigenous house of prayer and ministry base on the edge of the Judean Desert — a “voice calling in the wilderness” in this generation, preparing the way of the Lord until all will see his glory. ("Solu" is the Biblical Hebrew command used by Isaiah to build up the highway in preparation for Yeshua's return.)
The foundations of SOLU were laid in the fires of a 24/7 house of prayer, with a group of hungry teenagers gathering weekly to worship and cry out to God. From a weekly prayer room gathering to the streets of downtown Jerusalem and now through ministry across Israel and into the nations, a highway is being built!
Foundations Church loves hosting and worshiping with the SOLU band when they are able to visit! You can learn more about SOLU's ministry here.
