My Story
I went on my first mission trip in the 1980’s to Haiti. For the first time I understood that loving my neighbor extends beyond those in my own neighborhood. I learned that I could come alongside the local church in a village and partner with them in their labor of loving and leading their community to Jesus. The amazing love that God has loved us with has become a passion to proclaim this good news.
Years later, in the early 2000’s, my wife and I moved our small family to Japan to partner with Japanese churches in reaching their communities with the good news of Jesus. Our time in Japan taught me the joys and challenges of cross-cultural ministry. God has led us on a journey of serving in many different ministries. My passion is strengthening the systems and structures that allow WEGO to flourish and faithfully serve others. As the Operations Director, my goal is to ensure that our teams on the field are well cared for and that donor funds get to where they need to be.
As a fully support-based role, my work depends on God’s provision through faithful partners. I invite you to prayerfully consider joining WEGO’s mission by helping fund this role. If you have questions, let’s talk! 434-227-7492 | James@wego.org
