What’s next: The work beneath the work
You know me.
You know my story.
It starts with listening.
I’ve spent years sitting with leaders, pastors, and community members across the globe, not to bring answers, but to learn what actually leads to lasting change.
What I’ve experienced, the people I’ve met, and the meaningful impact I’ve seen have reshaped how I think about mission, poverty, and the role of the Church.
I’m committed to doing the next right thing.
The work has shifted upstream
For years, my work has placed me in the middle of extreme poverty, walking with communities and churches in some of the hardest places in the world. That work mattered. It still does. And it continues to shape what I believe about faith, dignity, and responsibility.
Over time, the deeper issue became clear. The most decisive factor in those environments wasn’t projects, programs, or material things. It was worldview.
How the Church - the body of Christ - sees the world. How it works, or how we think it should work.
How we understand God’s redemptive plan and our role in it.
How we believe people think, change, make choices, and act.
It’s less about what we do and more about who we are becoming.
The work ahead is about the imagination of the Church.
It’s time for the North American Church to rethink how it engages the world, not just the poor who live in it, but the full complexity of global realities where faith, culture, systems, and spiritual formation collide.
That’s what’s next.
It’s big. It’s complicated. It’s doable.
“To equip the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
Ephesians 4:12
This work is about changing how the North American Church sees the world.
Not just how we respond to poverty, but how we understand God’s mission, our place in it, and what faithfulness actually looks like when things are complex, messy, and real.
The Global Outreach Network exists to catalyze a movement.
A movement of church leaders who engage the world with clarity and conviction. Leaders shaped more by discernment than by habit, legacy, or tradition. Leaders who care as deeply about who their people are becoming as what their churches are doing.
If we get this right, the world will be different, there and here.
That’s the work beneath the work.
This is what’s next.
GON Patrons
This work doesn’t get started alone.
At every meaningful inflection point, there are a few people willing to stand behind it with trust, generosity, and prayer.
Patrons are those people.
A Patron sees what could be and chooses to help carry the work for a season. Patrons step in early, helping carry the work until it can stand on its own. This isn’t a commitment in perpetuity.
It’s a simple willingness to say, “I believe in this, and I’m willing to help make it possible right now.”
You’ve walked with me before. You understand how this works. Your partnership doesn’t direct the work, it frees it.
And it makes what’s next possible.
