Together, Don and Lisa travel around the world teaching church leadership, conducting marriage seminars, and strengthening churches in countries such as Brazil, Guatemala, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, England, and Canada. Their mission is to see churches become healthy, life-giving communities that raise up leaders to impact the world for Christ.
