Building Projects
Construction and improvement projects benefiting churches, families, and communities in Guatemala.
Our work
Three ways we serve.

Long-term investment, not one-time projects.
Our goal over the next 5–10 years is a permanent mission presence in Guatemala, built on lasting relationships with the families, churches, and communities we serve.

Mission: Faith in Action
The vision for Mission: Faith in Action grew out of a Sunday that marked an important turning point in founder George Tomko’s life. He later became Facility Manager at South Hills Assembly of God and began pursuing his credentials to become a pastor.
Mission: Faith in Action brings God’s love to life through benevolence, local service, building and repair projects, community assistance, and prayer. Practical support includes installing new toilets (water closets) and providing plumbing, heating, and air conditioning repairs and installations for people in need—helping create safer, healthier, and more comfortable homes.
A structured process is being developed to identify and respond to the needs of individuals, families, churches, and organizations, with future plans to extend this service into disaster relief. Through every project, our purpose is to serve with compassion, restore hope, and put faith into action.
Close to home in and around Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania, we respond to individuals, families, churches, and organizations who need practical help — benevolence, building and repair projects, hands-on volunteer service, prayer and encouragement.
Benevolence
Responding to individuals, families, churches, and organizations who need practical assistance.
Community Assistance
Meeting everyday needs close to home in and around Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania.
Building & Repair Projects
Partnering with contractors, businesses, and volunteers on local projects.
Volunteer Service
Hands-on service groups that put faith into action in their own neighborhoods.
Disaster Relief Development
Building the relationships, training, and equipment needed to respond to emergencies.
Prayer & Encouragement
Spiritual encouragement and presence during difficult seasons.
In development
Disaster relief
Disaster relief is the ministry we are building next. Before we respond to emergencies we are developing the relationships, volunteers, training, equipment, and procedures that make a response safe and genuinely useful. We will not promise a capability we do not have yet.
Help us get ready
Trained volunteers, contractors, equipment, and transportation all move this forward.
North Carolina Hurricane Relief
When our founder, George Tomko Sr., joined Pastor Pete and Christ in Action in North Carolina, he thought his mission experience in Guatemala had prepared him. But nothing could have prepared him for the devastation—or the stories of those who had lost so much.
The team removed debris, cleared fallen trees, and helped families begin moving forward. Yet what stayed with George most were the moments spent listening and praying with people whose lives had changed forever. Sometimes, serving meant putting down the tools and simply being present.
The bonds formed with families and fellow volunteers left a lasting impact on his heart, strengthening his faith and deepening his calling to go where help is needed and serve people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
That experience helped shape the disaster relief vision for Stacey’s Army of Angels and reinforced our belief that faith should be demonstrated through action, compassion, prayer, and presence.
“For it is God who works in you to will and to act to fulfill his good purpose.” — Philippians 2:13
