Donate to Our General Fund
When you support the Cageless Birds, you are partnering with our dream to raise up sons and daughters who are rooted in the love of God, connected to their hearts, and thriving in their relationships.
Jonathan & Melissa Helser and our Cageless Birds staff have hosted 18 Inch Journey discipleship schools, camps, and retreats on our campus for 20 years. Every financial gift that you sow into our General Fund supports our everyday expenses so that we can continue hosting people from all over the world on our campus, A Place for the Heart. These expenses include: utilities, building and grounds maintenance, meals for our staff, tools and equipment for our creative departments, and more.

Our Live Album is Funded!
We have officially released our new Live Worship Album: Let God Come In featuring Jonathan & Melissa Helser and the Cageless Birds. With your help, we have been able to raise money to cover the costs of making this record from start to finish. Recording and releasing an album is no small endeavor and carries many real world costs. It takes many people, resources, and hours to bring the completed work to the finish line.
We pray that the 10 songs on this record would be filled with the truth of who God is. These songs are meant to invitations for the presence of Jesus to freely fill our hearts, relationships, and lives.

Support the 18 Inch Journey Campus Campaign
The mission of the Cageless Birds is to respond to the commission of Jesus and make disciples of all nations. One of the ways we do this is through our 18 Inch Journey discipleship programs focused on spiritual formation. We do all of this at “A Place for the Heart,” our 52-acre campus in North Carolina.
Over the past 10 years, our staff, schools, camps, and retreats have nearly doubled in size. Our vision for the 18 Inch Journey Campus Campaign is to develop our campus to host more people on our property, provide resources for their deep spiritual formation, and equip our staff to serve a generation in a greater capacity. Below you will find what we are dreaming into for our campus and ministry and the goals that have been completed with your help and support. This page will always be updated with our most immediate needs. We invite you to partner with us as we expand our campus and continue to grow the Kingdom of God.
