Department Leadership
The FaithSearch departmental leadership is comprised of veteran professionals who have chosen to forsake personal ambition and invest their skills and lives for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. By raising their own support and living a sacrificial lifestyle, more of the ministry's resources can go directly to the mission field. (For evangelist profiles, click here.)
Prayerfully consider becoming part of this vital ministry through your prayer and financial support. Remember, your partnership with a FaithSearch support staffer is indirectly a gift to the Lord Himself—an investment in His harvest. Many who come to Christ will thank you for making an eternal impact on their lives!
