After 32 years of leading the church he loved, Kevin joined the senior leadership team of Converge as the Director of U.S. Engagement. The department that he leads is helping churches across the U.S. focus on the center of the Great Commission bullseye – asking God to launch a gospel movement among the least-reached peoples of the world in our generation.

Candace felt called to advocate for the marginalized and voiceless in college where she pursued a degree in social work. After serving with and advocating for immigrants and refugees in Hartford, CT, she felt the need to combine her education and ministry. Working as the Community Connections Coordinator and overseeing Missions & Outreach at her local church in West Hartford, CT, she was awakened to the least-reached around the world and in her backyard. She is honored to serve as a Church Mobilization Associate on the U.S. Engagement Team. Serving in this role, Candace seeks to inform, engage, equip and collaborate with Converge churches to wisely engage in global ministry to help fulfill the vision of a gospel movement among every least-reached people group in our generation.

Lisa Lewis, Partner Care Coordinator
Contact

As a child, Lisa had a deep passion for helping others. This desire led to a nursing career of more than three decades. She spent 20 years as a United States Navy nurse, developing leadership and team-building skills. At 35 years of age, Lisa accepted Christ and began to discover how God would use her gifts, passions and experiences for his kingdom. Along with her husband, Chuck, Lisa served in the local church, where she led women’s discipleship. In 2019, Chuck transitioned to Converge International Ministries to build networks of churches that support missionaries serving around the world. In 2022, God answered her prayers to transition from nursing to support Converge International Ministries’ vision for a gospel movement among every least-reached people group — in our generation. As a partner care specialist, her goal is to make each partner feel more connected to the Converge mission and global efforts. Lisa is excited to collaborate to improve systems, communication and processes to make Converge International Ministries world-class in donor care and missionary support.
