Our Story

From Humble Beginnings to Global Impact

Living for Jesus Ministries began in 2018 when Travis and Michelle Maloney answered God’s call to serve. After years of mission trips to places like Nicaragua, Guyana, and the Philippines, they partnered with Golden Lapani in Malawi—a former Muslim spreading the Gospel for over 30 years. This connection inspired the creation of a 501(c)(3) organization to expand their mission globally.

Today, Living for Jesus Ministries is dedicated to sharing God’s love through church planting, orphan care, education, healthcare, and mission trips. From building churches in Malawi to equipping missionaries in the Philippines, every effort reflects the power of faith in action.

We are excited for what God has in store as we continue bringing hope and healing to communities around the world. Join us on this incredible journey of faith and service!
