Big Ideas, Real Impact.
At Bluewater, we believe faith was never meant to stay inside four walls. We exist to grow people and serve the community — right here in the Florida Keys and far beyond it.
Throughout the year, we show up for our neighbors, our friends, and the visitors who find their way to our little corner of the world. Whether it's local service or global mission, there's always a place for you to get involved.
Two of our greatest vehicles for that work are Anchor & Vine Global Outreach and Casa Agua Azul with Bluewater Surrenders — and we'd love to introduce you to both.
Blue Water Surrender
Blue Water Surrender uses sailing vessels as educational platforms and humanitarian tools — taking the mission of Jesus to the ends of the earth, literally. At its heart, BWS exists to help people deepen their relationship with God while serving those who need it most.
In 2015, BWS purchased property in Ensenada, Guatemala, which is now home to Casa Agua Azul — a children's home and mission base providing refuge for abandoned and abused children. The property features three buildings, and over the years, meaningful progress has been made bringing it to life.
The main house has been lovingly restored with new electrical, refurbished floors, updated decking, a new kitchen, new windows and doors, rain shutters, and rebuilt stairs and support beams. A septic and water system has been installed, and phases one and two of the surrounding wall are complete, with 375 feet still to go.
Every improvement is more than a construction update — it's another step toward a safe, stable, and loving home for children who deserve exactly that.
Anchor & Vine Global outreach
Anchor & Vine Global Outreach is a Christ-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to one thing — uniting the body of Christ through transformational global mission experiences. Their work is built around fostering genuine stability and lasting growth in communities around the world, not just short-term relief.
What sets Anchor & Vine apart is their thoughtfulness in how they serve. Every trip and partnership is guided by a commitment to "no harm" missions, educational workshops that empower rather than create dependency, full transparency in how resources are used, and a deep respect for the communities and partners they work alongside.
This is missions done with humility, intention, and love.
