About YATZR
Formed for His Glory
YATZR exists to glorify God by equipping ministries to pursue ambitious growth. We remove financial, operational, and strategic barriers by providing funding, expertise, and accountability, allowing ministries to thrive and multiply their Kingdom impact.
The Name
YATZR (יָצַר) comes from the Hebrew word yatsar, meaning to form, fashion, or shape. It is the word Scripture uses when God formed man from the dust of the ground (Genesis 27) and in the image of the potter shaping clay (Jeremiah 18:3-4).
Scripture continually reveals God as the One who forms with intention and purpose. He knit us together in the womb (Psalm 139:13). He designed creation with order and beauty. He is the Creator, the Designer, and the One who gives form
to what he has made.
We are the clay.
That truth is central to the name YATZR and to the ministry itself. We are vessels formed by God, living in a world marked by sin, weakness, and brokenness, yet offered salvation through Jesus Christ.
Paul describes us as jars or clay carrying a treasure — the Gospel of the glory of God revealed in Jesus Christ. The vessel is earthly and temporary, but what God offers through the Gospel is spiritual and eternal. The surpassing power belongs to God, not to us.
We are not the point. The treasure is the point - the soul redeemed through Jesus Christ, not the temporary things of this world.
YATZR is grounded in that same conviction: whatever is built, strengthened, multiplied, or accomplished through this ministry should ultimately point beyond YATZR and back to the one who formed us.
Glory to God.

Ministry becomes stronger, healthier, more effective, and equipped to operate at a higher level.
The Calling
We are called to proclaim truth and fight the good fight.
The Gospel brings spiritual healing and regeneration through Jesus Christ. YATZR supports ministries and missions that share the Gospel, strengthen families, equip evangelists, and carry the hope of Christ into their communities. Our role is to help remove the barriers that can limit their reach and impact.
We also fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12) by standing for biblical truth. This fight is not against people, but against lies and ideas that oppose God's Word. Through the ministries we support, we help strengthen the defense of human life, marriage and family, biblical identity, and the Christian faith (1 Peter 3:15).
We proclaim the Gospel and stand for truth, strengthening those already on the front lines.
Why a Church Association
The Church was never designed to work as a collection of isolated parts.
Scripture describes the Body of Christ as one body with many members, each with a different role and each needed by the others (1 Corinthians 12:12). Paul writes that the Body grows and builds itself up in love as every part does its work (Ephesians 4:15-16).
Local churches faithfully carry tremendous responsibility: shepherding congregations, serving families, proclaiming the Gospel, discipling believers, and caring for their communities. Yet no single church can possess every resource, area of expertise, or ministry capacity on its own.
That is where partnership matters.
YATZR comes alongside churches and Christian ministries by helping connect vision with the funding, expertise, structure, and accountability needed to pursue greater Kingdom impact. Rather than replacing the work of the local church, YATZR seeks to strengthen and support ministries already carrying out that work.
The vision, leadership, relationships, and calling remain with the ministry. YATZR'S role is to help remove barriers that may be keeping effective ministry from reaching its next level.
The Body is strongest when every part is equipped to do its work well.
Founder's Testimony
YATZR was shaped by years of building, leading, and serving Christian ministries.
God has used me to grow multiple ministries from an initial vision into established organizations with dozens of staff, hundreds of donors, millions of dollars in revenue, and measurable ministry impact. I have served in many areas of Christian ministry, including digital media, pro-life ministry, college ministry, high school ministry, and the local church. I also give lectures across the country on the Church, culture, evangelism, and apologetics.
Each of those experiences taught me something about what allows a ministry to move from vision to lasting impact: strong leadership, sound strategy, faithful stewardship, operational discipline, and the right resources at the right time.
Those lessons helped shape YATZR.
Today, YATZR comes alongside ministries with compelling vision and opportunities for greater Kingdom impact, bringing the experience needed to help remove barriers, strengthen execution, and equip them to pursue what comes next.
THE INVITATION
YATZR believes the Body of Christ is stronger when we work together, each bringing what God has entrusted to us in service of a greater Kingdom purpose.
We invite churches, ministries, donors, and foundations to partner without surrendering their identity or calling. YATZR'S role is not to replace the work God has given others, but to help remove barriers, strengthen opportunity, and multiply what faithful ministries are already doing.
We are not asking people to invest in a personality. We are inviting them to invest in Kingdom work with purpose, stewardship, and accountability.
So we leave you with one question:
Is the Body of Christ stronger together than apart?
If your answer is together, join us. Let us be His hands and feet, each doing our part, and together bring glory to the God who formed us all.
“But the pot he was shaping was marred in his hands, so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping It as seemed best to him."
- Jeremiah 18:4 (ESV)
