WHAT IS CHARTHOUSE?
WHERE SUCCESS STARTS
On a ship, the charthouse is where navigators gather to study coordinates, plan the next passage, and keep the vessel on course. It's not glamorous. It's essential.
For Connect Global, CHARTHOUSE is a vital part of our journey. It's the giving community that funds our operational foundation — the salary, the systems, the travel, the tools — so that every program we run, every community we serve, every door we walk through can stay open.
This is mission infrastructure. And without it, even the best work stops moving.
"We didn't just cross new ground — we learned how to read it. Now we're building the infrastructure to go even further."
CHARTHOUSE MEMBERS ARE THE REASON THE MISSION HAS WHAT IT NEEDS BEFORE WE NEED IT.
THE WORK BEHIND THE WORK
WHERE YOUR GIFT GOES
Every great mission needs operational oxygen. Charthouse funds the infrastructure that keeps Connect Global alive, accountable, and advancing.
01 — FOUNDING STAFF
Javier, Danielle & Saige Mendoza have given everything to this mission. Charthouse helps ensure they can keep doing so.
02 — FIELD OVERSIGHT
1–2 trips a year to our program sites, plus 4 ministry conferences — keeping relationships strong and work accountable.
03 — COMMUNICATIONS
The phones, the Wi-Fi, the platforms — everything that keeps Connect Global connected to partners, donors, and communities.
04 — DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Website hosting, email systems, giving tools — the quiet architecture that keeps the mission accessible and moving.
05 — FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP
Accounting and bookkeeping that ensures every dollar is tracked, reported, and stewarded with integrity.
06 — YOUR CONFIDENCE
When Charthouse is fully funded, every designated gift goes entirely to the program it was given for. Zero redirected. 100% delivered.
CONNECT GLOBAL
OUR STORY
Sixteen years ago, we set out to follow Jesus into places where the need was real and the resources were few. We went to Honduras, Haiti, Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, Spain — and to corners of the United States that needed the same thing those international locations did: someone to show up and build something to last.
We've sold homes to fund the mission. Given away cars. Fundraised relentlessly and directed the majority of what came in straight to the people who needed it most. We have been first on the ground after floods, hurricanes, during the pandemic, and the LA wild fires. We have built schools, delivered clean water, cared for mothers, and raised up local leaders to carry what we started.
As we enter year 16 we recognize the need to refuel and chart a course again, because there are plenty of mission fields to still reach. Charthouse is how we close the gap between what is needed and what we have in our hands. It's how we stay on the field, plan the next chapter, and keep the ship moving towards the horizon.
