Our Founders

The story of Child & Church Partners began long before it was officially founded.

Dani and Rez Sindac, Founders

Dani and Rez Sindac

Born and raised in the Philippines, Dani and Rez Sindac have dedicated their lives to serving children and churches. They have served as church planters, pastors, and worship leaders in the Philippines, Arizona, and Texas.

Their journey has taken them from the villages of the Philippines to the cities of America, but their heart has always remained with the people they left behind.

Through Child & Church Partners, they continue to walk alongside pastors in the Philippines—encouraging, equipping, and supporting them as they raise next-generation leaders, share Christ's love with children and families, and transform lives for God's glory.
