Tim and Sandy Hewitt

Co-Founders

Tim received the call from God to full time vocational ministry as a working professional (Electrical Engineer) and young father. He graduated from Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake Indiana in 1995 and, shortly thereafter, accepted the position of Senior Pastor at a small Independent Baptist Church in Elkhart Indiana. Tim served at Calvary Baptist Church for 12 years, three of those years having been bi-vocational as Engineer and Pastor. Through firsthand experience, the Hewitt’s know both the challenges and rewards of working ‘solo’ in the ministry of the small local church.

John and Beabea Rogers

Field Director & Missionaries

In December of 2000 the Rogers family moved to Indiana where John became Pre-Field Director for Evangelical Baptist Missions (2000-2008) and Regional Coordinator for North America (2009-2011). In addition to working with missionary appointees in their pre-field process, he and Beabea spent time assisting Bible believing churches in their efforts to develop their people for missions as well as teaching how to both witness for Jesus Christ and live their faith before others. In the last few years, John has increasingly been involved in conflict resolution, general church consulting, and mission field evaluation along with his other responsibilities and has assisted missionaries and pastors in developing more successful ministries.

Chris & Rachel DeMorell

Western Field Director

Chris DeMorell grew up in northern New Jersey in a non-practicing Catholic household. He attended Ohio State University after high school and was immediately involved in the fraternity party scene. It was between his sophomore and junior years that God began to work in his heart. Having very little Bible understanding he began reading a Gideon NT.
