Kingdom Builders
Newbreak Church is a multi-campus church in San Diego engaging communities locally and globally through Kingdom Builders.
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT
What we do flows out of who we are. That is how God has wired us. It’s in our DNA.
We were created in the Image of God. The Imago Dei has been imprinted into the very fiber of our being. Looking at the beauty and intricacy of a bearded dragon flower, or the vastness of the night sky, we soon realize God's creativity knows no bounds. As people made in His image, we too have this creative capacity, and can use everything He has entrusted to us to build His Kingdom here on earth.
This is God’s purpose for each of us, whether we run our own business, work in the service industry or trades, have a career as an educator, nurse or lawyer, or serve in the military. Creatively using our skills, passions, minds, bodies and experiences in serving others brings significance and meaning to our lives in a way nothing else can. And when we combine our creative efforts as the family of God we call Newbreak, we multiply exponentially our ability to change people’s lives.
“We were created by an infinitely creative God to reflect His love and character to the world.” - Jordan Raynor

Commit to the Generosity Growth Plan
Last year, 328 Newbreakers became First-Time Givers and want to know “Where do I go from here?” What if we all decide to take the next step in our generosity journey as we commit this year to use our finances to make a difference in someone else’s life?
If this is you, welcome! You are about to discover a purpose and find fulfillment that is unmatched by anything else. Perhaps you are new to the idea of stewarding your financial resources and using them to bless others. Maybe you felt like you never had enough money to start giving it away. Or it’s possible that no one ever told you that you could partner with God in accomplishing His purposes. But now that you’ve taken this first step, and given for the first time, what’s next?
Join us in building the Kingdom of God in 2023 through projects that bring health, give hope, and end human suffering.
“Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10 (ESV)
Bring Health
Install 2500 water filters.
Give Clean Water was birthed out of Newbreak by Pastor Darrel Larson, with a desire to make a tangible difference and solve a global issue. In 2008, 50% of the population in Fiji lacked clean water. Since consuming water is not an option, and with only dirty water available, water-borne illness and disease plagued half the island's population.
In 2008, Newbreakers helped install 300 filters and since then, have continued this partnership to install thousands of filers. This year's goal will bring clean water to 2500 additional families who will be able to drink their water and never get sick from it again.
Additional Ways to Bring Health in 2023:
“Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.” Isaiah 58:10 (NLT)
Give Hope
Child Hope: Chicos & Chicas Programs
Back in 2012, a team from Newbreak Church first traveled to the Linda Vista School in San Jose, Costa Rica to connect with the students and staff. They fell in love with the kids, and came back home committed to continuing a partnership with Child Hope.
Shortly thereafter, an opportunity arose. Although these children were safe while they were at school, many were alone before and afterwards, during which time they were victims of abuse. To address this problem, the very first girls empowerment club was launched and Newbreak provided the seed money for the building where it was housed. Here, at Chicas de Promesa, girls could learn their value, develop leadership skills, and put their faith in practice. With a 90% reduction in rates of abuse, it was soon apparent a club was needed for boys and so began Chicos: Champions for Change.
Since then, Newbreak teams have returned to Costa Rica year after year to support construction projects at the school and at the Chicas and Chicos programs.
In 2021, when Covid made such trips impossible for a second year, Newbreak raised $118,000 for Child Hope to rebuild a portion of one of the schools in Nicaragua and to begin expanding these Chicas and Chicos programs to neighboring countries. Our goal this year is to purchase equipment and train leaders so as to start Chicas and Chicos programs in Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominican Republic, and Bolivia.
Additional ways to give hope in 2023:
“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Luke 10:2 (NLT)
End Human Suffering
Convoy of Hope: Women’s Empowerment
Throughout the world, women and girls often suffer the harshest impacts of poverty. They are not regarded as worthy of an education, they are subjected to degrading cultural practices, they lack the support needed to stand up against gender-based violence, and they are without options to improve their lives.
Did you know that something as simple as a $10 hygiene kit can make a difference in whether or not a girl gets an education? Would you believe that $300 is all that is needed for a woman to start her own business?
With Convoy of Hope, we can help partner with marginalized girls and women, who can receive the education and business support they need. This allows them to provide for their own families, advocate for themselves, and create a different future for the generations that come after them.
additional ways to end human suffering in 2023:
“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.” Psalm 82:3 (ESV)
How Can I Participate?
Pray in Faith
"God use me to build Your Kingdom and help me to trust You more and more this year."
“For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, He will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.” - 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 (NLT)
