Q2 NONPROFIT PARTNER MATCHING CAMPAIGN

Partnerships exponentially increase the potential for sustained Kingdom impact.
Expo Home Improvement,
Cerulean Blue Coffee House
, and
Collective Way
provide a clear picture of how business leaders can activate their organizations for sustained impact.
Pictured above is the staff of Cerulean Blue meeting at the Expo Home Improvement headquarters to talk about shared vision, collaboration between companies, and combined impact.
Paul Dietzler, CEO of Expo and owner, along with his wife Jackie, of Cerulean Blue spoke about the impact that can be had when a company like Expo invests a portion of its earnings into God's initiates, locally and globally. He reminded his team from Cerulean Blue that serving coffee and food is literally changing the world--for every 10 pounds of coffee sold Cerulean Blue donates a water filter to a family in Honduras. These filters are generational game changers for a family because they provide clean drinking water for 20 years for the family.
Scott Hall, Chief Ministry Officer for Expo and Collective Way, gave a recap of the impact of these three companies' efforts in 2025--10 countries impacted, thousands of business leaders, pastors, and entrepreneurs trained, over 1800 water filters donated.

Collective Way had the privilege of attending the Unbound Now event with Tim Tebow.
Unbound Now is ending human trafficking by identifying victims, supporting survivors, seeking justice, and leading system change.
Unbound Now
meets survivors in their most critical moments.
In 2025, Unbound Now advocates received
5,199 crisis calls
, walking with survivors from the first moments of safety through long-term recovery.
Since their founding, they have served
over 5,500 survivors and clients
, providing immediate crisis response, safe shelter, advocacy, and ongoing support.
Their drop-in center,
The Underground
, in Fort Worth, TX, is a trusted refuge for youth escaping trafficking or vulnerable situations who have often been referred by law enforcement, schools, or community partners.
This was a great connection for Collective Way's nonprofit partner,
You Can Free Us
,
who continues to fight human trafficking and modern slavery.

The Carpenter's Project
is a partnership that Expo Home Improvement & Collective Way shares with Serve Hope International. This specific build for a family in Honduras was a part of a team building trip for the Executive and Vice President leadership of Expo Home Improvement. Together, we built and furnished this house in two days. Two days of work that provides sustained impact for this family for generations to come. Generally speaking, it would take 200 years for the average family to save for and build such a home.

Dina and her husband, Leonardo, are entrepreneurs in Siguatepeque, Comayagua, Honduras. She is an Industrial Engineer with a master’s degree in Project Management, and together with her husband founded their entrepreneurial venture RiverQuint Textiles, a business dedicated to the manufacturing of t-shirts and pet supplies.
Her entrepreneurial trajectory was supercharged when she had the opportunity to participate in
Emprende Global
, a Serve Hope business development program for Latin America. She received her diploma from Emprende Global in 2019. Upon completing the program, Dina said:
"I will never forget that Saturday, September 7, 2019, in my first class of Module
“You,” when we were asked about our identity, our motivation to start a business,
our gifts and talents, and our life purpose. My tears began to flow. At that moment
I felt the presence of God healing my heart and showing me that He had always
been with me, even in the years when I lived with pain and resentment due to my
parents’ abandonment."
|
Dina and Leonardo's story continues as God faithfully provides a roadmap for lasting impact in their country of Honduras. At Collective Way, we talk a lot about business being the place where the Gospel meets the streets. Listen to Dina's understanding of faith at work, she writes:
"
From that moment on, I discovered the true purpose of my business and
understood that it does not only exist to generate income, but to become a channel of blessing for other families. Since then, my greatest desire has been to build a company that generates dignified employment and real opportunities, especially for deaf people. I have a deaf sister, and that has placed in my heart the desire to provide her and many others with a better quality of life. I dream of creating a space where they can develop their talents, feel valued, and be an active part of a society that often
closes doors to them, also showing them God’s love through every opportunity,
every teaching, and every act of service."
(Pictured Below) RiverQuint is clearing and leveling land to build their first textile factory--this will move the current "factory" out of their home and into a space where they can expand their business, employee more people in their local community, and invest more in God's Kingdom initiatives.
