In 2024, after eight years of living in a Muslim country as Global Workers and two years serving refugees and newcomers to Canada, we joined the GlobalEd team as Mission Equipping Specialists, providing leadership to Light for the Nations (LfN).
GlobalEd, the international equipping wing of PAOC, supports multiple educational and training institutions worldwide as well as several non-formal equipping programs. LfN will play an important role in strengthening commitment to the Great Commission in partnership with international partners.
Our goal is to expand the capacity of our international partner fellowships to engage the world for Jesus and to train new global workers sent by non-Western churches.
Our Vision: We want to ignite a movement of equipped cross-cultural workers to make disciples of all peoples through our adaptable cross-cultural mission equipping program, serving mission-minded partners to multiply workers for the harvest.
Before moving to a Muslim country in 2014 as Global Workers with our two children, we served for many years as ministry leaders in various roles at our local church in Canada. During our eight years overseas, we learned the local language, served on the leadership teams of churches in two cities, helped start a refugee ministry (primarily for Syrian refugees), and won and discipled many people.
Since returning to Canada, we have continued to minister to refugees and newcomers in the Niagara Region. I also serve as the chairman for a network of agencies collaborating in Eurasia.
