GLOBAL Missions

Kelly & Vicki have served with Youth With A Mission [YWAM] in Ukraine for the past 26 years in the areas of leadership development, education and help for the poor. Even though they continue to serve part-time in Eastern Europe, their work has become a more globally focused ministry with partnerships, teaching appointments and service projects in countries around the world. Their vision is the Gospel for all nations and all spheres of society in obedience to Jesus and His prayer for God's Kingdom to come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Hussan and Lorien are passionate for Christ and the lost. Their heart is to see generational movements of Muslims coming to know Christ in areas where there is no gospel witness. They are in a season of discernment and relocating. They are called to the poor and forgotten, and they are building relationships with those around them. This often looks like doing Discovery Bible Studies, meeting physical needs, and PRAYING—knowing that without God's Spirit nothing can be accomplished (Psalm 127:1). 

There is nothing better than seeing lives changed for Jesus. Jenn has the privilege of making that part of her job. She directs the ministry of Cru Military at the United States Naval Academy. We consider the ministry a family affair; it is not uncommon to see my two exuberant, delightful, red-headed kids hanging on the arms of a Midshipmen. Our mission is to see Midshipmen come to know Jesus, grow in their faith and be sent off as highly trained laborers for the great commission.

The Shannons began serving with Commission to Every Nation in vocational and discipleship training in Peru in 1984. They have also served in International Relief for two years in Haiti with Samaritan’s Purse and continue on-call for DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team). Currently, Toby & Sara divide their time between Maine and Peru. Sara virtually coordinates a network of volunteer biblical counselors to provide Soul Care to missionaries and disaster relief workers around the world. In addition, she helps to equip Latin American pastors and lay leaders as an adjunct professor of biblical counseling with the Baptist Theological Seminary of Lima. Toby serves on the Board of Directors of a small Christian, Peruvian NGO Yapey Yurijcuna/Renacer, which is Quechua for “those who are being reborn” (1 Peter 1:23). Renacer provides vocational and life skills training for Peruvians with disabilities. In addition, Toby also ministers through discipleship, mechanics, and welding training. In 2013 Toby took his passion for motorcycling and turned it into an outreach, founding Caminos del Colono, an up-and-coming international motorcycle rally covering 800 miles of mountain roads in the Andes, providing opportunities to hear the Gospel to the competitors and their families.

Joseph and Esther live in Hyderabad, India with their four children: Mazhira, Yana, Timothy and Joézer. They work with International Cultural Bible Ministries (ICBM), a faith-based, non-profit organization working to train pastors, plant churches and engage in community development amongst the unreached tribal peoples of India. ICBM is currently working with more than 30 of India's 640 tribal peoples.
