Converge U.S. Engagement Team
In 2019, God called me to say “yes” to a new journey of joining the U.S. Engagement Team of Converge International Ministries to use my gifts to serve the local church. As a Church Mobilization Associate, I am currently serving a handful of churches through our 2:10 FOCUS mission coaching. Based on Ephesians 2:10, this discernment process helps the local church strategically concentrate their identified passions and resources to reach the least-reached around the world. Once fully funded, I am excited to develop new strategic coaching tools for How To Be a Great Sending Church and How To Reach the Nations In Our Own Backyard. In addition to mobilizing the local church through coaching, I am honored to serve as the Communications Liaison for the U.S. Engagement team working with the Converge Communication team to share all that God is doing through Converge International Ministries to the local church and ministry partners.
