About Us

Inspiring God's sent ones to raise up leaders
in their cross-cultural mission.
Don and Karen
Leadership Coach to men and women in difficult places
We're Don and Karen. We loved living in the Middle East. But there was a lot of turmoil. Many of our cross-cultural friends were discouraged and distracted. For some reason, they came to us for encouragement and hope.

We sensed that God was directing us to do something about that. For years, we helped them thrive in their faith and learn fruitful ways to make disciples.

But recently, we noticed a high turnover of leaders. Because of turmoil in that part of the world, many lose their visas or must relocate to a new location and learn a new language. They often feel they are spinning their wheels.

We want to help them solve this problem.

Don helps these frontline leaders to adopt a new way of leading. Instead of recruiting followers, they will focus on building leaders who multiply their faith. This is how they will impact their community and prompt a movement of faith.

He also trains on fruitful practices of ministry; life development; and building healthy teams.

Karen is an equal partner in our work. She developed a language learning program, "Street Ready in 10 Weeks." She taught over 300 workers in this method. In recent years, Karen's health has forced her to support our work from behind the scenes.

Our Role

What we do and how we do it
Many leaders are occupied with raising up followers. Instead, we help them 'bear much fruit' as they raise up leaders who multiply their faith.
We admire those men and women who accept God's call to cross cultures and invite others to follow Jesus. But many leaders battle the endless distractions of good things.

As a Leadership Coach, Don works with field leaders to focus on raising up leaders who can multiply their faith. For security reasons, we can't publish the name of our agency or the countries we work in.
Beyond Ministry
When we take a break, we enjoy visiting Karen's family cabin on the Oregon Coast. We LOVE spending time with our family. We cherish every moment we spend with our adult children and 7 grandchildren. We adore Riley, our faithful dog. And spending holidays with our friends.
