Vision - to see individuals, families, churches, and communities throughout the world grow deep roots in the Biblical worldview, transformed by and thriving in Christ.
Mission - to encourage, equip, and engage people in disciple-making movements around the world through the following five organisations:
Ministries
Global Outreach International supports the church in sending and caring for missionaries to go where the Lord is leading them at no cost to the missionary. GOI currently has over 300 missionaries serving in over 50 countries. We have been serving with GOI since 2016, 6 (of 15) years in Uganda in the area of Christian community transformation, and the last few years based in Michigan, working directly with GOI in mobilization – to recruit, mentor, train, and prepare people to serve in cross-cultural missions.
International Friendships - partners with local churches, universities, and volunteers to provide life-changing hospitality and friendship to international students, 80% of which come from areas in the world that have little to no access to the Gospel. We work strategically to make the world feel at home and show and share God’s love globally — right here in West Michigan. I serve as an Associate Campus Minister, mobilizing the church, helping facilitate large-group events, building relationships with them, helping meet their practical needs, engaging with them in spiritual conversations, introducing them to Jesus, and discipling them.
The Freedom Boys Ministry a ministry we helped establish in 2009, brings the love of Jesus to boys who live on the streets of Soroti, Uganda by rescuing and rehabilitating them with the goal of reintegrating them back with their families and communities as active disciples of Jesus Christ. I currently serve as an advisor, and in awareness and fund raising.
MentorMe of West Michigan hires, trains, guides, and supports Christian men and women to walk alongside, mentor, and disciple “at-risk” youth ages 10 to 21, 2-4 hours per week each. Our desire is to see “at-risk” youth become “at-promise” youth who love and live for Jesus. I serve on MentorMe’s Leadership Team and as a Guide to Mentors.
Freedom in Christ Ministries equips the Church in over 35 countries to bring transformation to every nation and generation with a highly effective discipleship approach and resources to making fruitful disciples who make a real difference. I promote and use this approach and these resources for discipleship movements among the relationships, networks, and partners God has placed before us.
