What Transform Our World does

Transform Our World is a non-profit Christian ministry organization headquartered in San Jose, California, founded by Dr. Ed Silvoso and Ruth Silvoso. The organization operates with approximately 27 employees and focuses on the concept of "Ekklesia" (the Church as described in Matthew 16:18), providing spiritual formation resources to individual Christians, small groups, and Christian business professionals. Its core products include a catalog of books authored by Ed Silvoso (available in both English and Spanish), curriculum kits for small group study, starter kits, and the Ekklesia Excelerator, an online course platform delivered through a dedicated LMS.

The organization's technology stack is a conventional digital learning and distribution infrastructure: the Ekklesia Excelerator LMS at lms.transformourworld.org, an e-commerce storefront with Stripe payment processing, iOS and Android mobile applications for the Ekklesia Everywhere global mapping initiative, and a YouTube channel for free content distribution. There are no disclosed AI capabilities, API integrations, or proprietary technology platforms; the technological differentiation is functional rather than technical. The trademarked "Ekklesia™" brand is used across multiple product lines.

Transform Our World monetizes through five revenue streams: (1) one-time product sales of books and curriculum kits (books priced at $5-$35, curriculum kits at $49.99, premium starter kits at $300), (2) online courses via the Ekklesia Excelerator, (3) seminar and event registrations (Transformation Leadership, Family, and Anointed for Business seminars, plus the annual Global Conference), (4) individual coaching and keynote speaking engagements with Dr. Ed Silvoso, and (5) charitable donations including the Ekklesia Scholarship Fund (EkEx). The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven, leveraging the global network of Ekklesia practitioners as a cascading multiplier to reach new audiences. Geographic reach is claimed to be global, anchored by the Ekklesia Everywhere mapping initiative with a stated mission to establish one million Ekklesias in homes worldwide.
