Equipping Leaders.
Strengthening Churches.
Connecting Cultures.

Recognizing God's invitation and responding with faith.

For more than 22 years, I have worked at the intersection of international education, intercultural learning and leadership development. Along the way, I have had the privilege of guiding more than 1,500 students through international immersion experiences and supporting over 200 missionaries as they prepared for and navigated cross-cultural assignments.

My professional journey also took me into the corporate world, where I built a career in data analytics and eventually became a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst at a Fortune 500 company. Yet, through all these different chapters, one thread remained constant: a desire to help people understand one another, build meaningful relationships across cultures and serve beyond their familiar surroundings.

In 2022, I was invited to become part of a partnership between Nairobi Chapel in Kenya and Miesto Bažnyčia (City Church) in Lithuania, preparing Kenyan ministry leaders for service in North America. I designed and led a nine-week cross-cultural immersion program in Lithuania, helping participants develop cultural intelligence and understand the opportunities and challenges of serving the Church in a different cultural context.

It was during my third visit to Kenya, while walking with a local friend to a coffee shop, that I experienced a profound sense of God's peace and calling. In that moment, I felt an unmistakable assurance that this was where I was meant to serve. Not necessarily by moving to Kenya, but by bringing together my experience, gifts and faith to serve the global Church.

That realization changed the direction of my life. I made the decision to step away from my corporate career and pursue full-time ministry, trusting that the professional experience I had accumulated over the years was not separate from my calling, but part of how God had prepared me for it.

Today, I see this as an opportunity to serve something much bigger than myself: equipping leaders, strengthening churches and creating meaningful connections across cultures so that the global Church can grow and serve together.

Equipping people. Developing leaders. Strengthening the global Church.

I serve as part of an international team of Christian leaders and practitioners from Canada, Kenya and Lithuania, working together to equip leaders, strengthen churches and create meaningful opportunities for cross-cultural ministry. Our work brings together discipleship, leadership development, coaching and intercultural engagement to help pastors, ministry leaders and marketplace professionals grow in faith, character and leadership, and connect biblical convictions with the realities of everyday life and service.

Over the past three years, this work has taken me to Kenya, where I have delivered cross-cultural training in three consecutive Februaries. I have also welcomed three Kenyan groups to Lithuania for extended intercultural immersion experiences. These programs create space for participants to experience another culture, learn from different church contexts, reflect on their own leadership and prepare for the opportunities and challenges of international ministry.

The impact is already taking shape. Some of the people I have trained and continue to support are now serving in churches and ministry contexts in Canada and Lithuania. Walking alongside them before, during and beyond their placements is one of the most meaningful parts of this work.

Beyond individual training and placements, we are developing biblical, leadership and cross-cultural resources, mentoring emerging leaders and equipping local trainers and coaches. Our shared vision is to build sustainable capacity within local churches, so that knowledge, experience and leadership continue to grow and multiply within their own communities.

Ultimately, this is about more than preparing people to cross borders. It is about equipping people to serve faithfully wherever God places them, strengthening local churches and developing leaders who will, in turn, equip others.

One Church. Many Cultures. A Shared Mission.

I believe global ministry is never a one-way journey. It grows through relationships, mutual trust and a willingness to learn from one another.

This ministry brings together churches, leaders and organizations in Canada, Kenya and Lithuania, with opportunities to grow into other contexts. Rather than one culture exporting its methods to another, we seek to build relationships where every community's gifts, experiences and perspectives are valued.

We work with sending and receiving churches to establish shared expectations, maintain open communication and care for those involved in international placements. The goal is to develop lasting partnerships in which everyone has something to give, something to learn and an opportunity to grow.

In Lithuania, my main ministry partnership is with Miesto Bažnyčia (City Church). Alongside welcoming international guests, interns and ministry partners, I contribute to the congregation's people development, organizational guidance and administration. Together, we seek to create a church environment where international partners feel included, local leaders are strengthened and the congregation's own mission is enriched through global relationships.

Partnership is about more than sending or receiving people. It is about joining together in God's work, sharing our gifts and building a stronger, more connected global Church.
