STRATEGIC GOALS & INITIATIVES

Stewarding Goals & Initiatives

Our Strategic Goal is to successfully transition from the initial launch phase to a sustainable ‘Give-Grow-Grant’ stewardship model by faithfully managing existing resources through the Founder’s ‘bunching’ contribution strategy, ensuring consistent kingdom impact through ‘First Fruit’ offerings and mission-aligned site visits

Phase 1: Foundation Establishment & Initial Funding (2025)

  • The Board noted the successful completion of the legal establishment and initial funding.

Phase 2: Stewardship & Impact Maintenance (2026-2027)

  • Commitment to maintaining “First Fruit” offerings and conducting site visits to supported ministries to deepen the meaning and purpose of faithful giving.

Phase 3: Replenishment & Long-Term Posturing (2028)

  • Official transition to a “Give-Grow-Grant” stewardship model.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

” In 2025, this foundation became more than just an idea—it became an act of obedience.

What started as a vision on my heart turned into something real, something surrendered. Every step of establishing the Lapeña Foundation felt like learning to trust God more deeply—not just with my resources, but with my plans, my timelines, and my sense of control. I didn’t want this to be just another structure or obligation; I wanted it to be my giving ministry—fully His.

I saw God’s heart reflected in the way this foundation was born through generosity, not pressure… through faith, not certainty. From the very beginning, it wasn’t about giving out of excess—it was about giving in response to His leading. Whether it was supporting churches planting seeds across nations, helping children receive healing and care, or contributing to sharing the Gospel through media, I felt like I was being invited into what He was already doing. “
