When a crisis creates a new mission field, we are there to share the love of Christ with those in need.

Josh

I grew up in Fremont, Nebraska and came to know Jesus as my Savior at a young age.  After getting a business degree from Pensacola Christian College, I moved back to Nebraska and, while waiting for Sarah to finish grad school, built my first house from a plan sketched on graph paper.  My career has included residential and commercial real estate, insurance, and construction.  That, combined with our own property flooding, tornadoes in Omaha, and experiencing some personal trauma, has uniquely prepared me to serve as a Job Site Supervisor.  I’m excited that God is using me to liaise with local churches in Hendersonville, coordinate skills of volunteers to get the physical work done, and build relationships with homeowners impacted by the hurricane!

Sarah

Like Josh, I was saved at a young age but grew up in Western New York state.  We met at PCC and after a lot of patience on Josh’s part, got married once I finished my Master’s degree in Math from Texas A&M.  I’ve only ever had one real job, working for an international actuarial consulting firm and will finish out my 25-year tenure there as the Director of Operations in Omaha.  (My side gig has been volunteering as church Treasurer for the better part of that time, too.)  This will lend itself well to my role working alongside the Domestic Director to lighten workloads.  I thrive on improving efficiencies and am thrilled that God has led me to lending my talents to kingdom-focused work.

About ReachGlobal Crisis Response

When crisis strikes, we’re committed to physical and spiritual transformation, and we work to rebuild lives and communities by sharing the hope of Christ—all through the ministry of a local church.

  1. Homeowners. We come alongside homeowners to offer hope and Christ's love in a very dark and difficult time.  From gutting bathrooms to hanging cabinets, from shoveling mud and debris to painting walls, our goal is that they know Jesus and know Him more abundantly.

  2. Volunteers.  Volunteer teams from across the nation are a crucial part of the work in repairing homes, praying with homeowners, and restoring hope within communities.

  3. Churches.  A missions-minded local church is pivotal to our ministry.  Our partnership ensures homeowners and communities are well cared for long after the physical work is complete.
