our story

Founded in 1989, King’s Castle Ministries purposed to raise up an army of young, Spirit-filled warriors who would invade Latin America with the simple message that “Jesus saves and is coming soon.” Today, that vision has expanded to dozens of countries throughout the world. In El Salvador and Nicaragua, the countries to which my wife Terri and I are appointed, we are witnesses to a mighty move of God as He pours out His Spirit to anoint this generation who will usher in the return of His son, Jesus Christ. Working hand-in-hand with the local church, thousands of young men and women are giving their lives for the cause of global evangelism in the various aspects of the ministry.

Amanda Bidwell

  • My name is Amanda Bidwell, and I am from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have been with King’s Castle Ministries for five years now, and it has been the best five years of my life. Growing up in a non-Christian home, I never realized how real the love of Jesus was. When I was 12, I dedicated my life to Him. At 17, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and called into missions, and at 26, I came to El Salvador to minister with King’s Castle for the first time with my church. Being here at King’s Castle has helped me grasp how deep the Father’s love is for me, has helped me understand my identity in Him, and has opened my eyes to the supernatural things of God. I love being able to see signs, wonders, and miracles every day! I am so grateful to be a part of the Castle family!

bailey hendricks

  • My name is Bailey Hendricks, and I am a Missionary Associate serving with King’s Castle in El Salvador. I first came here with my church in 2018 for two weeks, and the Lord began chiseling at my heart. I returned for the two month internship in 2019, and that summer is where I fully surrendered the call to GO. I am not my title; I am simply someone saved through grace who wants to tell the world about Jesus.

Nathan & Sarah Franklin

  • We are the Franklins, and we are so happy to be joining the King’s Castle Ministries team. El Salvador and King's Castle Ministries has truly become part of our DNA over the past 8 years, having both served with teams and as Summer Interns. We are so excited to get to serve Jesus and His kids! Our hearts are burning for revival in this country, and our desire is for every person to come to know the love and saving power of Jesus.
