Our NAME
Why Ten Thousand for the One?
The name's meaning is threefold.
Coming for the Ten Thousand
During a time of mourning from a miscarriage, the Lord met our founder in his pain. In his grief, He heard the Lord speak to him: "Ten thousand for this one. Death took one from you, and We are going after ten thousand of his."
Working Together
Keeping within the heart of the parable of the lost sheep (Matt.18:10-14), we see the importance of the one who is lost, stranded, and endangered. Even if it takes ten thousand of us working together to save one, this is worth it every time.
All for His Glory
As we fight to rescue and restore the ten thousand it is all for The One. Ten thousand we will rise to see His kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT
Phil Morris was ordained as a Pastor in 2017 and has served in multiple churches in various capacities. As a Pastor, he saw firsthand the need for the church to develop and create practical and life-giving solutions to the problems of the suffering. This desire is what led him to pursue a degree in Transformational Entrepreneurship in Missions and to live abroad as part of his studies.
During his travels, his eyes were opened to the horrors of the trafficking and exploitation of indigenous children in Central America. He worked side by side with an organization who's focus was helping kids who had survived organ and sex trafficking. His work there involved helping them find solutions to their logistical problems and offering ethical, practical, and solution-driven support. While working with this ministry, God called Phil to help survivors who had been trafficked become established in the life God had called them to embrace.
