Kevin and his wife
Laura, have served with Youth With A Mission since 1978. They led the first
permanent YWAM ministry in Belize, Central America. The ministry, called
Project LORD, combined community development and evangelism (the
“two-handed” gospel). From Belize they served with YWAM in Tacoma, WA.,
starting the first program within YWAM for training teams to take the
two-handed gospel to the poor. (Today these community development programs
are offered by YWAM throughout the world.) Kevin and Laura have four
children: Caleb, Corrie, Sean, and Emily.

In 1986, Kevin began
doing cross-cultural church planting with Dr. George Patterson of Church
Planting International. Using this training and experience, the Sutter
family moved to Singapore where Kevin served as a trainer and coach for YWAM
church planting teams working throughout Asia.
Kevin now directs Youth With A Mission’s Church Planting Coaches in Arcata,
CA. The office coordinates a growing international network of field-based
church planting coaches. These coaches provide training, advice, networking
and practical resources to help the hundreds of YWAM church planting teams
reach their goals in planting churches among the unreached. In addition,
Kevin serves on YWAM’s International Frontier Missions Leadership Team as
well as YWAM's Global Leadership Team (GLT).
Kevin travels internationally, regularly teaching cross-cultural church
planting skills and concepts as well as doing on-field coaching. He is
actively involved with the growing house church movement in North America
and is associated with DAWN North America and House2House Ministries. He may

Brian H -- Assistant Director |
|
|

Brian
and his wife Louise,
have served in missions since 1987. From the Navajo Tribe to Outer Mongolia,
their passion has been to see Jesus glorified and lifted up among
those who have never known Him.
From 1993-1996 their
team pioneered a church planting movement in Erdenet, Mongolia
that continues to grow
under fully indigenous leadership to this day. Their Mongolian disciples are
now training and sending out their own missionaries to other unreached
people groups.
The story of the work in Erdenet can be read in the case study article -
"Mongols Follow the Khan of Khans" - included in the 1999, third
edition of Perspectives on the World Christian Movement: A Reader, ed.
Winter & Hawthorne (William Carey Library).
Brian and Louise have
four children:
Melody, Mollyanne,
Alice, and Peter.

makes their home in Northern CA where Brian manages the YWAM Church Planting Coaches office. In addition, he coordinates the
Church Planting Coaches activities in East and Southeast Asia,
and Europe. Brian travels
extensively conducting workshops and seminars on

R.G. |
|
|
|
Since 1997 R.G.
has been the Director of Good Neighbors, a ministry that encourages
Christians to purposefully relocate and live among the poor and unreached--
living out Christian faith, hope, and love, making disciples, and planting
indigenously led, reproducing house churches. These house churches are then
the catalysts for community initiated/based development programs. R.G.'s
vision is to see networks of these house churches sending out their own
missionaries to go live among the poor and unreached in the world’s
mega-cities, launching church planting movements.
R.G. has been involved
in inter-cultural and urban ministry/church planting in Los Angeles,
California, Phoenix, Arizona, and Portland, Oregon since 1982 and has lived
in inner-city Portland since 1997. He has researched ministries to the poor
and unreached on six continents. He is very involved in mobilizing
Christians to “make disciples of all nations”, and “to remember the poor”
(Galatians 2:10) through coordinating conferences, lectures, urban plunges,
ministry opportunities, etc., and by promoting the “Perspectives” course (www.perspectives.org),
the Christian Community Development Association (www.ccda.org),
and Dr. George Patterson’s “Train and Multiply” curriculum (www.mentorandmultiply.com).
He is the Inter-Cultural and Urban Ministry Advisor for Multnomah Biblical
Seminary.

JB* and his wife began working cross-culturally in 1983 when they set up a
Bible book table to reach out to the 3,000 Muslims students at the University
of Minnesota. After serving a dozen years as an pastor in his own people group
and a church-planter to same and near-neighbor cultures in the U.S., they
joined a multi-mission church-planting team beginning a work among Muslims
in the Ivory Coast, West Africa. The Lord then sent them to help start another
multi-mission church-planting team among the Muslims of North Africa using a
tent-making business role. In recent years they have also served in a North
Africa regional project coordinator/church-planting coaching role. Their passion
is to effectively train and sustain church-planters who are working among the
unreached people groups of the world. They have a special heart to help those
working among Muslims and to help develop Church Planting Movement coaching materials in French,
Spanish and Arabic. JB travels regularly to North Africa and occasionally to West Africa, Europe, Latin
America and North America to conduct training seminars and coaching visits.
*JB's real name has been changed for security reasons.
