“I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light.” - Keith Falconer.
A Family On Mission
Love the outcast,
bind up the broken hearted.
“GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS…”
Sounds easy, BUT DO WE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS?
Through trial and fire, necessity and opportunity, God has trained us as bridge builders.
We are full-time missionaries based in Fort Myers, Florida. We train, lead and launch intimate communities of faith in the U.S. and abroad. Our ministry is found in personalized outreach, real relationships, and devoted discipleship. We are 100% God-funded.
We are friends with the local homeless, un-churched, at-risk and foster youth, those in recovery from human trafficking and addiction, and those in high society places. We are bridge builders between the “haves” and the “have-nots” within our community.
Between the “successful” and the “outcast.”
Between the “clean” and the “messy.”
Between the “loved” and the “abandoned.”
Between the “saved” and the “forsaken.”
We build bridges.
Will you walk across them with us?
“If I understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but I have not love, then I am nothing…
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
1 Corinthians Chapter 13, “The Way of Love”
May the world know Him by our Love.
Blessings, Kalon & Jesus
Full-Time Missionaries
Our focus is to love others well so that the world may know who Christ is. We strive to minister not in many words but in many deeds and since Covid-19 we spend our days working primarily with the people who will not walk into a church & persecuted Christians abroad. In the past 5 years we have baptized many new believers and continue to walk them through their growth and discipleship within our own cities.
In August 2022, we began to build deep relationships with persecuted Christians in Asia and the Caribbean. Since then, we have regularly visited our brothers and sisters in these two regions to train, build up, and launch communities of home churches and simple churches, as well as helping to create sustainable businesses so that the churches can begin to sustain themselves and flourish under the Lord’s leading.
Lord willing, we will continue to visit both regions to encourage the simple churches and further train them in developing communities of faith within their own homes and cultural context.
Messy Ministry
We do not only minister to the poor, but also to the poor in spirit. “Messy Ministry” is about getting your hands dirty in the messy aspects of humanity, with the difficult people and the uncomfortable problems. Divorce. Suicide. Addiction. Fear. Pride. Privilege.
Homelessness- Over the past 9 years our home has been a stepping stone for others in need of short-term housing, encouragement and help. We also advocate for and teach others how to love the disenfranchised community. We believe the Gospel when Jesus says “Whatever you have done for the least of these, you have done it onto me.”
Godly Counsel- We provide fellowship and counseling for marriages, families, and individuals.
Evangelism- We train fellow believers on how to evangelize to people outside of their comfort zones and how to minister to the practical needs of different people groups.
Evangelism Training
We have a strong background in evangelism and equipping others to do the same. Our approach focuses on simple, reproducible methods that empower people to share the gospel in their everyday lives. Our training style is experiential—we combine Scripture with visual tools like drawings, and hands-on practice. We model practical, real-life ways to engage in evangelism, allowing participants to learn by doing. Every other month, we host 3-day immersion trainings designed to help believers multiply disciples and start Bible studies within their own social circles.
To learn more, please contact us, We also provide 1-day and 3-Day trainings to Churches Nationally.
Simple Gatherings | L1A
Love ONE Another | Multiplying Our Impact
Since 2018, we’ve been hosting home gatherings several times a week, creating a space where people from all walks of life—whether homeless, wealthy, community leaders, or those feeling lost—can come together.
At our table, we share meals, find rest, and engage in meaningful conversations centered around the finished work of Jesus Christ. These gatherings have proven to be a powerful avenue for freedom, healing, and transformation.
As of 2025, our reach has multiplied exponentially. We’ve expanded our impact by training and empowering others to open their homes. This has allowed us to multiply our efforts and extend the reach of these gatherings into even more neighborhoods.
We’ve discovered that these simple, intimate gatherings move the body of Christ in deeply personal ways and are adaptable to each community's unique needs. By opening our homes, we’ve created safe spaces where prayer, worship, scripture reading, communion, baptism, and deep fellowship can thrive. This model has also fostered leadership, generosity, and a living expression of the Gospel that continues to make a lasting difference. Together, these gatherings have formed a growing network of simple churches—meeting in homes, coffee shops, gyms, and other everyday spaces throughout our community. In 2024, alongside others who share the same vision, we officially launched L1A Church At Fort Myers as a unified expression of this movement.
