Our Mission

Our Purpose

It all started in 2013, when Ancora Ministries founder, Trey Williams, then a children’s and missions pastor, experienced first-hand the devastating reality of many children’s lives in Guatemala when he took part in a mission trip to Guatemala. The dream of Ancora came to life several years later, with the added vision of ending food insecurity for children in Central Texas, where Trey has lived since 1989.

Since 2020, Ancora has helped provide meals, purified water, safe cooking appliances, medical treatments, and education to more than 15,000 people in Guatemala, and provided meals and support to more than 16,000 people in

Central Texas.

Help Us Make a Difference

Ancora currently feeds over 1,200 kids monthly in Guatemala and Texas, and we are on a mission to help even more families this year.

Ancora Ministries uses donations to pack backpacks with food for children in Texas and to partner with communities across Guatemala. Those community partnerships include nutrition and clean water initiatives, plus a tailored approach to address each community’s unique needs by working closely with members in that community.

We rely on the generosity of people who are passionate about helping children reach their full potential. We believe that together, we can beat child hunger and malnutrition in Central Texas and Guatemala!

Who We Are

After nearly 10 years as a family and missions pastor in Central Texas, Trey Williams, Founder and Executive Director, found himself being called out of full-time pastoral ministry and drawn toward the mission field. At his core he is a children's pastor, and his life's mission is to lead kids to Jesus and to their best possible physical, educational and spiritual outcomes, so that they can live out the purpose they were created for. Trey has been married to the love of his life, Jennifer, since 1993. They have 2 sons, an adorable dog, and various "bonus children" in and out of their house at any given time.
