At Kingdom Voyages, we believe every soul deserves to hear the Gospel—and every family deserves hope in times of need. Our mission is to bring the love of Jesus Christ to communities across North, Central, and South America, sharing the Good News while meeting urgent physical needs.

With every voyage, we deliver Bibles, medical supplies, hygiene kits, and other life-giving resources to the most vulnerable—always in the name of Christ. But this work is only possible through faithful partners like you.

Whether it's through evangelism, disciple-making, or disaster relief, we serve hand-in-hand with local churches and volunteers, building up communities with compassion and Kingdom purpose.

Your support helps us reach further, serve deeper, and love greater. Will you join us—by giving, going, or praying—to be part of what God is doing through Kingdom Voyages?

How we Move

Yacht Voyage

We use small to mid-sized boats to carry supplies directly to nation's shores. This flexible method helps us reach areas where larger vessels or formal ports aren’t available.

Ocean Logistics 

We partner with freight services to send bulk supplies through established sea routes. This method is ideal for larger shipments and coordinated container delivery.

Air Logistics

When speed matters most, we fly in essential items by air. This allows us to deliver time-sensitive materials like medical kits and ministry resources quickly and securely.

Founder of Kingdom Voyages

A ministry shaped by a life wholly dedicated to serving Jesus and furthering the gospel.

His passion for Cuba runs deep. Chris has traveled there to meet with churches and pastoral leaders, forming lasting relationships and gaining firsthand understanding of the island’s needs. These encounters have helped shape the mission of Kingdom Voyages into one that is relational, Spirit-led, and rooted in unity with the local Church.

Chris lives to go where the gospel is needed most—navigating challenges with faith, leading with love, and inspiring others to say “yes” to the call of Christ. Kingdom Voyages is an overflow of that calling: a movement to serve, to send, and to strengthen the Church—one trip, one church, one act of obedience at a time.
