OUR STORY.
Active ministry began back in 2006 when Zach began preaching in his local church, ministering to youth groups and eventually doing an internship with Convoy of Hope for his first European ministry outreach. Shortly after, Zach and Fernanda met, fell in love and got married. Fast forward 8 years and one child later (Lucca) and many years of patiently waiting for the Lord's perfect timing, in 2016 they ventured off to their first permanent overseas ministry outreach serving in Germany, Moldova and Croatia. Along with serving in the local churches in teaching ministry, they helped to assist in leadership at Dunamis Bible School.
After four years overseas, they felt called to come back to the United States, establish a base and prepare for a future time that they would begin a ministry that God placed on Zach's heart several years prior. That ministry is The Kingdom Advance. Today, they are aggressively growing this ministry vision into European nations to stir God's people to a holy fire, a fire that burns within, a fire that consumes them! Thankfully, they also have a growing team that serves alongside them. (see below)
