Para Ministries

Para Ministries is a Biblically-based non-profit founded on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We are passionate about God’s Word and his people. Our heart is to come alongside pastors and ministry leaders around the world, to encourage, equip, and engage with them in every aspect of life and ministry; pastors to pastors! Through pastoral care, training, and discipleship, our vision is to see pastors and leaders flourishing in their God-given calling, rooted in God’s Word.

 Currently, Para is coming alongside pastors and churches in the US, Honduras, Belize, and Mexico.

Jesse & Kaila McBride

Jesse & Kaila co-founded Para Ministries in 2021. We reside on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with our two girls, Eden and Livi. While we would never claim to always get it right, we believe discipleship must begin in our personal lives and be foundational in the home. You may see one of our girls in our arms as we engage in God’s word during trainings. :)

God has placed a desire in our hearts to go and make disciples by walking alongside ministry leaders, caring for pastors, and teaching biblical foundations to the body of Christ. God has called our family to prepare and raise up devoted followers of Christ to fully live out the calling God has given them. This leads to transformation in their personal lives, as well as in their families, churches, and communities.
