Our Story
After more than 10 years with SHINE, Cru’s European youth ministry, we transitioned to GEM. Our years of experience partnering with nationals serving in their own countries and across Europe have shaped our desire to use every resource available to reach others for Christ. GEM provides that opportunity, allowing us to expand beyond youth ministry and engage in the many facets of its work.
Where We Work
We’re grateful to serve in both big-picture and day-to-day ways. Ed serves as the Southwest Regional Director, coming alongside leaders and ministries in Spain, Portugal, Malta, Belgium, France, and Italy to encourage and strengthen the work God is doing there. He also works with GEM Leader Development, mentoring and training within GEM.
Closer to home, we’re deeply thankful to be part of the Black Forest Academy community—walking with students as small group leaders, coaching them in volleyball (DoDEA champs this year!), leading service projects, and jumping into several other opportunities as they arise.
