VISION
To serve as encouragers and catalysts for a movement of integral mission in Latin America by discipling Christ-centered leaders, who in turn disciple others, and by networking these leaders into communities of learning, service and collaboration for the transformation of all sectors of society.

MISSION
We envision the people of God in Latin America transcending barriers of race, culture, class, political ideology and denomination to give an integral witness to the power of the cross and the empty tomb and thereby transform individuals, communities, and nations.

MISSION WORK
Joel and Jeannie have served in Managua, Nicaragua since 1996. Joel helped found the Nehemiah Center (http://www.nehemiahcenter.net) in 1999 and served as its director until 2008 when he turned over the leadership to a Nicaraguan director. The Nehemiah Center is a collaboration between nine international mission and development agencies including CRWM, CRWRC, Partners Worldwide, and Worldwide Christian Schools.

The Nehemiah Center disciples leaders in all sectors of society to be agents of change based on an integral Biblical world and life view. Today, Joel serves as co-director for CRWM in Latin America while continuing to maintain his office in the Nehemiah Center.

Jeannie spent eight years teaching preschool at Nicaragua Christian Academy. For the past two years, she has worked as a volunteer at God’s Treasures, a ministry for special needs children and their families. Jeannie leads Bible studies for the mothers and teaches English as a second language to the staff.

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline.”
II Timothy 1:7.
