DEL CAMINO CONNECTION

was born in 2004 out
of a simple conviction:

the way we, as the body of Christ, relate to one another and our neighbors shapes the fruit we bear.

Across cultures and continents, we have witnessed that when the global church participates together in God’s mission — rooted in friendship, humility, interdependence, and moved by love — it leads to deeper impact and lasting transformation for individuals, communities, and the world

Our Story

For decades, we have walked alongside churches in North America and the Global South who sensed that “partnership as usual” was no longer enough. They longed for relationships that reflected the reconciling love of Christ and His kingdom.

From those longings emerged a shared journey we call Just Relationships.

What Are “Just Relationships”?

Just Relationships are Christ-centered partnerships that move beyond charity and hierarchy toward shared life and calling.

All voices matter

All participants bring gifts

Power is shared rather than assumed

We believe transformation happens through relationships

"The way we relate shapes the fruit we bear."

In a world marked by division and inequality, the Church is often tempted to reduce mission to efficiency. But we believe God invites us to something deeper.

What We Do

We serve churches and global partners through three interconnected pathways.

Church-to-Church Partnerships

We coach mission pastors and church leaders as they navigate the complexities of cross-cultural partnership. Our work helps churches move from short-term mission activity toward long-term, trust-based relationships that deepen faith and increase shared impact.

Global Networks

Stories of Shared Life

Our congregation has partnered with Tom Yaccino and Del Camino Connection for nearly a decade, and their impact has been invaluable. Through training, consulting, and shared visits, DCC has helped us move beyond simply understanding global partnership to actually practicing Kingdom partnership. We are now seeing the fruit of our partnership in Guatemala across every generation of our church. I am grateful to call Tom both a colleague and a friend, and I wholeheartedly recommend Del Camino Connection to churches of any size seeking meaningful and sustainable global partnerships. Creekwood Church began partnering with Tom Yaccino and Del Camino Connection in 2014. Through that relationship, we were not only introduced to churches in Latin America, but invited into a broader vision of the Kingdom of God.

Through DCC, we have been able to witness and participate in holistic ministry that brings the presence of God into local communities. Their thoughtful preparation, care, and accompaniment of our teams have consistently created space for meaningful engagement and deep relationship. As a result of the partnerships we’ve cultivated in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica—relationships facilitated by DCC—Creekwood has become a more faithful steward of our own community in Mansfield, Texas. We are deeply grateful for the way this journey has shaped us.

Why It Matters

When relationships come first:
  • Trust deepens
  • Resources multiply
  • Communities flourish
  • The Church bears more faithful witness
We believe the Gospel invites us not just to do mission differently, but to relate differently—as one global body learning, serving, and walking together.

Journey With Us

Whether you are a church leader, global partner, or individual seeking to invest relationally, we invite you to join us on this journey.

Leadership as Invitation

We believe leadership flourishes when it is practiced in humility, mutuality, and trust. Del Camino Connection exists not to lead over others, but to walk alongside churches and partners as we seek together to reflect the life of the Kingdom of God.
