It is a mission with a message as it seeks to help the local church understand its role as an agent of healing to a fractured world. This is achieved as every local church becomes a center for training and discipling its members to be ambassadors and ministers in the marketplace.

Mike serves as an advisor to the Missions Department of the Christian Reformed Church, Nigeria and as the team leader for CRC ministries in Nigeria.

Pathfinder Mission was birthed out of the destruction brought on by hurricane Katrina in southern Mississippi in 2005 where Charley and Martie served the people of the Gulf Coast region. First CRC partnered with them to build storage sheds for hurricane victims where they could store some of their belongings after their homes had been destroyed. After 5 years in Mississippi, they shifted their focus and resources to serving hurricane victims in Haiti for 6 years, and more recently, to serving in Texas following hurricane Harvey. They are currently evaluating how they can help victims of hurricane Ian in Florida.

As Regional Connections Coaches, we mentor Central and North American organizations in their partnerships. These organizations and churches nurture, send, and connect missional leaders and communities. We build a trusting connection with these Resonate partners and try to know them in an effort to stabilize support from North America to Central America and to encourage North American learning and application of Central American programs, such as trauma healing workshops. We cultivate relationships with US and Canadian churches as well as Central American partners in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.
