Equipping Equippers

No we did not relocate to Latin America!

However, in 2021, a missionary's impact is not limited by geography.

We have been involved in the Go To Nations' Equipping Department for almost the entirety of our missionary career. We have done this by directing the Timothy Internship Program here in Asia. We are also the International Directors for the internship programs in the GTN world. Go To Nations is currently conducting the first post pandemic internship in Honduras. While Asia maintains a level of travel lockdown, other parts of the world are opening up.

Pictured below are the new interns with Jenice Hardester and Yolanda Ortega. Jenice is the internship director in Honduras and Yolanda is the assistant director. These are two missionaries we trained and mentored for several years when they were part of the GTN Asia team. Yolanda was our internship assistant director in Thailand. We continue to equip and train Jenice and Yolanda with regular online meetings, offering counsel, advice, and knowledge from our experience as they direct this internship. 

We will always be missionary equippers. We are blessed to now be raising up and equipping new equippers. The GTN Timothy Internship Program is a boot camp to train believers to become full time missionaries, we are a product of this internship. We know that these new interns will be changed, impacted and released to achieve their missionary destiny and calling.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go bear fruit, fruit that will last.
John 15:16

Can You Change the World from a Desk?

A common refrain heard on cop shows and action movies, "I don't want to be stuck behind a desk, I want to be on the street where the action is!" Can you change the world from a desk? In a single day I (Dave) had meetings "in" the Philippines, Nepal, the Ukraine, Poland, Guyana, AND the United States, all while sitting at my desk. In February we were promoted as the Vice Presidents of Equipp...

Empowering the Next Generation

A big step in becoming a missionary with Go To Nations is the Timothy Internship Program . This is a 10 week boot camp that prepares you for full time missionary service in a foreign country. I call it a missionary factory. Chris and I were directors of this internship in the Philippines, Thailand, and the US. Recently I traveled to the Philippines to equip and empower Jeff Weimert  and Ryan Hull  to be the directors of the ...
