About Us
We’re Mark and Natalie Kresge, founders of The Collaborative Project. Married since 2011, we are parents to two kids, Jude and Ivy. Our lives are deeply rooted in a passion for radical generosity and a life of prayer.
In early 2020, God awakened a dream in our hearts to see revival sweep across Europe. While our love for the nations has always been part of our journey, God has ignited a specific burden for Europe, to see communities transformed by His love and power. As part of this calling, we are especially committed to serving vulnerable children, believing that every child deserves to experience safety, love, and hope.
Our call is the Great Commission to Go (Matthew 28), the Great Commandment to Love (Matthew 22), and the Great Collaboration to Unite for God’s glory (John 17).

Humility Is Our Way:

Integrity Is Our Standard:
We are determined to be trustworthy with what has been entrusted to us.
Unity Is Our Priority:
We build bridges that bring people together.
Generosity Is Our Joy:
We share our lives to reflect the generous heart of God.
