In June 2018 I first stepped foot on the beautiful land of Panamá. I knew from the moment I arrived that my life would never be the same. That was that summer that the Lord called us to magnify His name there and serve the people of this incredible place. On that first trip, I saw a vision of the Lord’s outstretched hands and He said if you start it, I will fill it. I knew from that moment He was going to lead this mission and help us accomplish anything He asked us to do. And He has shown His heart for the people and led this every step of the way.
We have so many God stories of connections with people that could only happen by His hand in this. 😭
He gave us the name “For the One” and reminded us of the story in Luke 15 that Jesus leaves the 99 for the one lost lamb - just as He does for each of us, and just as He would do for each child we serve. 
In November 2018, For The One International was born as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We are celebrating SEVEN YEARS as an organization! 🎉
We started out in 2018 with two feeding centers for malnourished children covering around 200 children a day. By 2022, we added two more locations where children were in need. In 2023, we added 3 more locations. And in 2025, 2 more - making NINE! We now serve close to 1000 children, that otherwise would not eat. We also cover anti-parasite medication every 6 months, water filtration, employ cooks, replinish kitchen supplies and so much more.
Thank you to so many of you reading this that have sown into this ministry, prayed for us, and believed in what God is doing through these feeding centers. We have seen salvations, deliverance, healing, restoration and freedom in the people that we serve. It’s so much more than feeding. It’s bringing the hope and healing of Jesus! He is the well that never runs dry!!!
My parents came with us this past summer, and it was so special to have them there!
Thank you to my amazing Uncle Johnny Brady for first taking us there, and the ripple effect in Panama him and my grandfather started. Thank you to the support of our family and friends, Stefanie Martinez for helping in so many ways, board members Cesar and Martha Martinez, board member and translator Dharma Cruz, our Operations Director Venancio Pérez, and all the many people who have helped to make this all happen! We could not do this without you!
We can’t wait to see what all the Lord has in store! 🙏🏻
