John has served as our President since December 2021. Originally from southern Ontario, John and his wife Jacky served as ABWE Canada missionaries in Ukraine for over 22 years. During that time, they helped to plant two churches. John was a team leader, mentored Ukrainian church planters, and co-founded and was President of the Church Ministries Institute. After turning over these ministries to local leadership in 2016, they moved to ABWE’s International Headquarters in Pennsylvania. There, Jacky continued to participate in outreach ministries, and John served on the Senior Leadership Team as Vice President of Training & Resources.
