Hey hey, TACO Tribe!!

We are now home from an incredible Reach Conference and closing in on the end of 2025.

Here at TACO, you know that our mission is to help Christian content creators better prepare and equip themselves to use their platforms to share the Gospel with others.

Reach Conference was like the church summer camp version of Comic Con. Creators and their communities – from all over the world – came together to meet each other IRL, geek out about their favorite fandoms,  and worship the Lord together. It was great. We cried. We laughed. We ate lots of food. Four people at this conference made the decision to accept Christ as their Savior, there was one baptism, and even a marriage proposal.

Thank you for contributing to our fundraiser for the Reach Conference trip and the TACO Tranquility Room. We hit the first 4 fundraising goals, which covered travel and lodging for XtianNinja and his daughter. It also meant:

• Ukulele4Worship’s hair returned to teal
• XtianNinja endured the dunk tank
• TheQuizKing’s luxurious locks are no more
• Samus419 got her glamour makeover

XtianNinja and MotherGoose421 gave their “Leveling up your Stats – Lore and XP” talk at Reach. They helped people turn inward and assess themselves, feel out their strengths and weaknesses, and learn where and how they could best shine. Wanna find out which class you belong to? XN made a blog post describing the different classes. Check it out here: https://xtianninja.com/2025/11/08/reach-lore-talk.

Our TACO Tranquility room was a huge success. We had many people come in to recharge and reset amidst all of the chaos. We got a lot of feedback about what a blessing it was, and asking us to be sure it happens again next year.

XN took an entire box of his books and he didn’t go home with a single one of them –  they were all given away at Reach. Each of our board members had the opportunity to speak into the lives of creators – both alumni and potential future TACO trainees – and to equip these content creators as the new generation of digital missionaries. 

It was a fruitful event, thanks to you and your wonderful support. By attending conferences like these, we meet creators where they are, and network with like-minded organizations that can help our creator community. We’ve already seen a few new collaborations coming out of this experience.  We are so grateful to everyone who sees our mission here at TACO, and we want to extend our deepest and most sincere gratitude to you. You help make this mission a reality: to support Christian content creators with training, resources, and community.
