Global Compassion

STADIA

Stadia’s mission is to plant churches that intentionally care for children. Why? Because as more churches close their doors, fewer people are experiencing the life-changing hope of Jesus. Stadia prepares leaders to start healthy churches that intentionally reach the next generation of believers, spreading the hope of Jesus farther than ever before. And we won’t stop until every child has a church.

CURRENT PARTNERSHIP | Pastor José Adán Castillo and his wife Dayanara Castillo planted Inglesia Evangelica De Santidad Ajuterique in the countryside of Ajuterique Honduras. Pastor Jose and Dayanara have been married for 6 years and have a son named Mateo. José came to faith 12 years ago and was saved from a life of multiple addictions. He had a complete change in his life and from there has committed himself to ministry and reaching others with the good news he himself received. He feels a special call towards children, youth, and marriages.
