Missionary

Summary

Experienced missionary with 31 years of youth ministry leadership in England, Germany and Slovenia. Successful at maintaining long-term relationships with local churches through extensive knowledge of Slovene culture and language. Currently serving as a leadership coach for missionaries in Central and Eastern Europe. I love what I do and believe in working together to further Christ’s kingdom to make disciples who make disciples. I believe this goal will best be reached through personal growth in a relationship with God, strengthening clarity in roles, and improving communication with teammates.
