Bethel University Missionaries in Residence

Mission agencies have become geriatric. Something has happened in our modern church culture and discipleship that has removed the possibility of a call to cross cultural and overseas ministry. We have been placed on the campus of Bethel University to reverse this trend. Along with mentoring and discipling students to Christ and overseas work, we are also working to set up a program for students to be able to graduate with little to no debt and to be “field ready,”  able to be accepted by mission organizations. With 23 years of mission experience in multiple countries, we are excited to see God use that toward equipping and empowering a new generation of disciple makers!
