Why we're here

We serve others because it brings us joy — it fills our cup. Some problems need more than most companies are willing to give, and we don't walk away from those.

We're here for the people who get overlooked — the ones who don't move anybody's bottom line enough to matter. Money was never the reason we do this, and that's the real difference. Once we talk, we'll tell you plainly how we can serve you. If we're not the right fit, or can't follow through for any reason, we'll say so — honestly, every time.

The reasons behind the why

Three things we can't ignore.

I

The moment doesn't allow for waiting. People are more anxious, isolated, and searching than at almost any point in memory — this isn't the season for ministry to be slowed down by paperwork a system should be handling.

II

Presence is the one thing a system can never replace. Sorting, checking, and remembering were never really ministry — but the moment someone sits across from a person in need, that has to be a person, every time.

III

Nobody else had a reason to fix this. The tools most churches already use are good at one thing each, and the companies that built them have no reason to build the layer that connects them and gives the time back. We do — because we're not here selling, we're here asking: are you willing to be served?

ACTS VI Benevolence icon
How we help
We work your church's benevolence ministry directly — policy, process, and the tools to run it well.

For the paperwork bottleneck specifically, we built ACTS VI: it reads each request, weighs it with grace inside your church's own policy, and hands your team a clean, ready case in minutes — so they stay in front of people, not buried in admin.

You decide every call. It never moves money on its own.

More time with people.
Less time at the desk.
Who we are

Mitch + Shay

Mitch, co-founder of Grace & Light Holdings LLC
Co-founder · First Sergeant, USMC (ret.)

Twenty years in the Marine Corps, retired as a First Sergeant — the senior enlisted leader accountable for an entire company's discipline, training, and readiness. He carried that same standard into the mortgage industry, a nonprofit, and construction operations. A husband and father who leads from his faith.

Shay, co-founder of Grace & Light Holdings LLC
Co-founder

A career spent serving C-suite executives, built while raising a family as a single mother — a master class in running operations under pressure with no room to drop a ball. A trained eye, a gift for people, and a lifelong instinct for lifting up whoever's quietly struggling.

Founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Self-funded, on purpose — no investors means the only people we answer to are the ones we serve and God. Everything points toward the future Graciela Luz sanctuary in Costa Rica, a place of refuge for those who've come through trauma.

The invitation

We've asked God to bless us with 1000 churches to serve.

Churches of every size, denomination, and location. We understand the sacrifice it takes to give your life to serving others. We understand the emotional and mental weight that can settle on anyone with a heart for that kind of work.

We believe every dedicated person who sacrifices so much and pours their heart into others deserves that same level of service supporting them. This provides capacity, which gives you your time back. Time to sit face to face in ministry, wherever God has placed you.

No pressure, no countdown — just call us, and let's have a real conversation about your church and where this fits.
