Who We Are
Krysalis exists to help develop faithful believers who are church-plant ready leaders and missionaries.
What is Krysalis?
The dictionary defines Chrysalis (Krysalis) as "a quiescent insect pupa of a butterfly in the transitional state". The ministry was established by Don & Kathy Harada in 2020 after a decade of actively providing humanitarian and leadership training to a small town in Baja, Mexico. As the ministry grew, Krysalis Christian Ministries was established to become more responsive to the changing needs of the ministry and to ease the coordination of activity with the partnering local churches in Southern California. What started out as a annual house build short term ministry quickly evolved to add quarterly local pastor training and a medical missions components. As the name implies, we exist to nurture individuals and churches to develop faithful leaders who aspire to attain their full potential in Christ.

1. We will partner with local churches in the San Fernando Valley to develop their heart for missions by participating in short-term missions to Baja, Mexico; where individuals can develop their leadership skills and demonstrate their love for the lost.
2. We will provide opportunities for leaders to engage in Biblical teaching and leadership training for local lay leaders in Baja, Mexico; where individuals can hone their public speaking and preaching communication skills.
3. We will provide basic Bible and Church leadership courses to select individuals who have a heart for missions; where individuals can determine if full-time missions service abroad is a calling. (not yet implemented)
