MEET OUR CHRISTIAN ROCKETEERS TEAM LEADERS
Carrie
Hi, I'm Carrie Reichartz,
Chief Rocket Launcher of the Christian Rocketeers movement.
I created the Christian Rocketeers because… My life and business were radically transformed 13 years ago by encountering the powerful love of God in Kenya.
Shortly after receiving the honor of being a Rising Star lawyer, He interrupted my plans.. I was called to leave my legal career and "give a voice" to women who have suffered emotional trauma including exiting of sex trafficking.
I am fighting systemic spiritual, emotional, and financial poverty for young moms in Mombasa, Kenya through Operation Give Hope, the first nonprofit I established. We reach over 1,200 children each day with life changing transformation in Mombasa, Kenya. As I saw the depth and breadth of need in the world, I knew I had to do something more.
In 2010 I created the Christian Rocketeers to train and support nonprofit and future nonprofit leaders around the globe to help them make world changing Kingdom mindset shifts that increase their capacity for the greater influence, impact, and even finances they are called to steward. In that time, we have mentored hundreds of people to start their own nonprofits. Most of those have been US based but working internationally. Millions of kids and adults are impacted by this work yearly!
When I’m not mentoring Christian nonprofit leaders or spending time with “my girls” in Kenya, you can find me playing with Bailey & Barkley - my adorable twin Chesapeake Bay retrievers - or scrapbooking and Bible journaling.

Hi, I’m Shawnee Penkacik, I’m a lead rocket igniter and work on many systems…that all point to one purpose - to see lives inspired, impacted, influenced, and transformed by imparting Kingdom wisdom and principles.
My life and business was incredibly changed when I started knowing and living my identity and worth in Christ and working that out in my business and nonprofit.
I am serving 1,900/day through social media encouragement, prayer, Bible studies, and hosting of several conferences a year in my nonprofit work at Infinitely More Life. I’ve raised tens of thousands of dollars for many nonprofit organizations. In less than 3 years, through just a few simple Facebook fundraisers, I have raised over $10,000 for one organization. I have also secured 30 monthly sponsors at $29/month for girls recovering from sex trafficking in Kenya.
In one Giving Tuesday campaign I assisted an organization in reaching their goal of securing $7,000 for land needed for their work in the Dominican Republic. Since 2000 I have been working and building in the creative areas of branding, social media, websites, fundraising and technology. I truly enjoy empowering, motivating, and igniting nonprofit leaders to get their vision into the world and funded. That is why I started Christian Rocketeers…
When I’m not empowering nonprofit visionaries, you can find me hanging out at Disney with my 12 biological children (no twins, mostly boys), reading, crafting, and always with a coffee in hand!
WE ARE ABLE TO DO THIS, BECAUSE WE ARE DOING THIS WITH YOU!
WANTING TO SEE WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO CHANGING LIVES IS WHAT PASSIONATELY DRIVES US TO BRING THIS INCREDIBLE FRAMEWORK TO YOU!
"We knew God was leading us to begin a new ministry in starting a Nonprofit. Did not know what setting up 501c3 entailed. After enquiring, several people suggested we contact Carrie Reichartz.
Well, Carrie knew exactly what to do, leading us through all the steps in submitting our request to the IRS for 501c3 status. The approval came through in record time. Carrie knows the intricacies of navigating the processes to establish new ministries and nonprofits.
As an ultimate professional who has started several nonprofits of her own, Carrie also carries a heart-filled compassion for reaching out to needy people through nonprofits."
