Building the Kingdom Through Technology
Snowball Fund pays for the things standing between a local church and its own growth: training it cannot afford, curriculum that does not exist in its language, and digital tools priced for organisations with budgets it does not have.
Train Leaders
Full scholarships to DNA, a cell-church program from Central Church, for pastors who cannot afford the year.

Four projects, four different barriers. Each has a full page explaining the barrier, how the work is delivered, who is served and exactly what a given amount pays for.
Sponsor DNA Scholarships
Remove cost as the reason a pastor cannot get leadership training.
Leadership training is priced for churches that can already afford it, which reliably excludes the pastors who would benefit most. A scholarship covers a leader's complete 12-month DNA Mentorship — live sessions, guidance for their own congregation, books and platform access — at no cost to them. Church bundles cover a whole leadership team, because a single trained leader inside an untrained team rarely survives the transition.
$99 covers one leader's full 12-month mentorship
Fund DNA Translation
Create the curriculum in languages where it does not exist at all.
Every language the DNA curriculum does not exist in is a region where the program cannot be offered at all — no scholarship or platform can fix that. A translation grant funds a full production pass into one language: curriculum, workbooks, subtitling and native-speaker review. Paid once, it then serves every leader in that language group indefinitely, which makes it the highest-leverage gift on this site.
$5,000 translates one seminar into a new language
Sponsor a Church Digital School
Give a small church a discipleship platform it could never buy.
For most churches discipleship stops in the parking lot: ninety minutes on Sunday, then nothing structured until the next Sunday. A sponsorship gives a beneficiary church a full digital school for a year — an AI-assisted course builder, progress tracking and certificates, and multilingual delivery — free to them. We purchase the licence from our partner W2G and grant it; the church never pays.
$4,497/year sponsors one church for a year
Sponsor AI Live Translation
Let a visitor follow the sermon in their own language, this Sunday.
A visitor who cannot follow the sermon usually does not come back, and the traditional fixes — human interpreters, headset systems — are out of reach for a congregation of a hundred people. This sponsorship covers 11 hours a month of AI live translation in 24+ languages. The preacher uses the microphone they already have; the visitor scans a QR code and listens on their own phone.
$189/month gives one church 11 hours a month
What Snowball Fund actually does
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Naples, Florida. We do not run churches, write curriculum or build software. We pay for the specific things standing between a local church and its own growth — training it cannot afford, curriculum that does not exist in its language, and tools built for organisations with budgets it does not have.
Two of our projects fund access to DNA, a cell-church training program created by Central Church. The other two sponsor digital infrastructure — a discipleship platform and AI live translation — which we purchase from our partner W2G and give to beneficiary churches at no cost to them. We spell out both relationships on our about page, because a donor should never have to guess where the money lands.
We are in our first funding cycle, so we have no impact statistics of our own yet and do not publish invented ones. What we can show you is on the impact page.

What the Programs We Fund Are Doing
Snowball Fund is in its first funding cycle, so these are testimonies from pastors and ministry leaders using the platforms we sponsor — not results we claim as our own.
“We had an American member who struggled to follow our services for a long time. Now, every time I see him at church, he smiles at me — and he is even bringing other Americans with him.”
Pr. Israel Santos
Reobote Church — Fort Myers, FL
“We live on a small island in the smallest state in America, but now our church is reaching beyond its own walls and impacting people who speak different languages.”
Pr. Leo Huguenin
Gethsemane Church — Middletown, RI
“I believe this is phenomenal. Many Americans would go to a Brazilian church.”
Rev. Dan Buentello
Pastor for 40 years — Massachusetts
