The Realignment Initiative

Anointing without compassion is incomplete.

Since 2017, Kevin and his wife Marsha have carried the ministry past the stage — to children the world is quick to overlook.

Compassion

Sometimes it’s a backpack and a hug.

No stage, no lights. A table of supplies at the roadside, and a child who came back to school knowing someone was waiting for her.

It started in 2017.

Since 2017, Kevin and his wife, Marsha, have mentored and cared for abused children, walking them beyond the moment and reminding them that they matter in God’s eyes.

Back to school

We show up for the practical things.

Bags, books, uniforms, shoes — the practical things that decide whether a child walks in on the first day with their head up.

Mentorship goes beyond the moment.

A backpack is a day. Mentorship is the years after it — steady presence, someone in a child’s corner long enough to be believed.

Presence

Every child deserves to be seen and heard.

Names remembered. Faces met at eye level. The work is small on purpose.

The next generation

Then you give them a voice.

Children who were poured into begin to lead worship themselves — the same message, carried on by the next voice.

Worship & prayer

And then we all kneel.

Outreach and altar were never two things. Compassion opens the door; worship is what walks through it.

Partner

Compassion has a cost. Help us carry it.

Realignment runs on people who give — funding the backpacks, the mentoring, and the rooms where a child is told, plainly, that they matter.
