FirstFruits 1:17 Foundation was born from a conviction that wealth is not ultimately owned, but entrusted.
God has entrusted resources to His people not only to meet today’s needs, but to steward with wisdom for the future.
FirstFruits 1:17 Foundation exists to pursue both: generous impact now and sustained kingdom fruit for generations.
The foundation began as a family-funded effort, quietly supporting kingdom work without public fundraising, a website, or a formal invitation for others to participate.
Over time, the calling became clearer: build an endowment model that could serve God’s kingdom at scale and invite others to participate in the mission.
At full vision, the foundation seeks to support meaningful work at scale—feeding children, rescuing the exploited, caring for the vulnerable, and advancing the Gospel through faithful partners.
These values align with the foundation’s stated emphasis on being bold, being generous, and multiplying impact.
We believe kingdom giving should be courageous, faithful, and willing to pursue meaningful impact.
We seek to manage resources with diligence, discipline, accountability, and long-term vision.
We desire to see generosity bear fruit again and again, creating impact beyond one moment, one gift, or one generation.
Firstfruits represents faithful generosity and trust in God. Isaiah 1:17 shows how that faith is lived out through justice, mercy, and care for those in need.
Firstfruits remind us to offer God our first and best. Isaiah 1:17 reminds us why: so that our blessings can become a source of hope, justice, and compassion for others. Together, they reflect our commitment to steward God’s gifts in ways that transform lives and strengthen communities.
When God entrusts resources, we are called to steward them wisely. The goal is not accumulation for its own sake. The goal is more kingdom fruit.
The founder describes this as a personal calling: being generous, trustworthy with wealth, and gifted at turning five into ten.
JP is a businessman and steward who believes that everything belongs to God. After years of privately funding kingdom work through his family’s resources, he began to sense a larger calling: to build a foundation that could create impact now while growing a long-term endowment for future generations.
His heart is especially drawn to feeding starving children, rescuing children from sex trafficking, caring for orphans and widows, and advancing the Gospel.
FirstFruits 1:17 Foundation is the vehicle for that calling: a disciplined, generous, and prayerfully stewarded foundation designed to multiply kingdom impact over time.
The foundation is being built with thoughtful structure, trusted counsel, and a commitment to responsible stewardship.
