Orange recently announced that it has officially joined with the Amazing Life Foundation.
News of the merger comes less than a year after Orange announced that its founder and chief creative officer, Reggie Joiner, resigned after admitting to what he described as “past inappropriate adult relationships.”
One of those relationships was with Orange’s then-CEO, Kristen Ivy.
In addition to hosting one the largest family ministries conferences in the world, Orange partners with thousands of churches to offer preschool, elementary, middle school, and high school curriculum.
According to its website, the organization “is a team of ministry leaders, educators, researchers, counselors, writers, editors, artists, musicians, and producers all committed to supporting churches and families as they nurture the faith and future of the next generation.”
The Amazing Life Foundation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that “exists to equip churches with the Gospel-centered tools and content they need to thrive.” The nonprofit states that it aims to shape the “future of discipleship with Gospel-centered excellence.”

In an official press release, Amazing Life Foundation CEO Chris Heaslip said that “this partnership brings new resources, technology, and opportunities that will allow Orange to better serve churches and families to inspire faith in the next generation.”
Heaslip reassured customers that the mission of Orange will remain the same and that the company is “still deeply committed to providing Gospel-centered curriculum and resources that make an eternal impact.”
“As we begin this new chapter, I want to express my gratitude for your ongoing partnership,” Heaslip added. “You are at the heart of what we do, and your commitment inspires our team every day. We’ve gathered some of the most important questions you might have and answered them below. If we missed answering anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out.”
Joel Manby, chair of the ReThink Group Inc. and Orange Board, said, “After months of prayerful consideration and thorough evaluation of various opportunities for Orange’s future, the board has chosen Amazing Life as the ideal partner to elevate Orange to new levels of impact, surpassing what we have accomplished so far.”
