Building Faith-Based Communities via Ministry Efforts  

Raise and Release Ministries is a multinational, 501 (c)(3), nonprofit, parachurch ministry that comes alongside churches to help them fulfill “The Great Commission”. We do that by “Raising Up Leaders” and training them “To Release The Gospel” on foreign mission fields.  

We are committed to making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all that Jesus has commanded in the gospels. 

What We Do

Raising Leaders:

Deliberate training and intentional sending of disciples.

Discipleship Focus:

Teaching others to follow Jesus with a structured approach. 

Global Team Development:

Empowering members to reach every nation with their unique gifts.

Our Journey

Since 2009, our founder and President, Tony Festa, has forged strong relationships with churches in Ecuador, enabling us to reach unreached, outlying areas. Our new believers are welcomed into these local churches, where they receive guidance and support in their spiritual journey. 

Expanding our reach, we are excited to work with Gaby Morales in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico, to build a Christian-based recovery house for those overcoming addiction. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to holistic ministry.
