- Implemented a path for 100 +/- churches and networks to engage in global partnerships with Alliance International Workers (missionaries).
- Trained dozens of ministry leaders and pastors in a reproducible discipleship model called a huddle. I was invited by two lead pastors from large churches (up to 3500 attenders) to train their senior leadership in a yr-long huddle in this discipleship model.
- Oversaw our Next Gen (middle school and high school) ministry for Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and part of Idaho.
