MTW MID-AMERICA HUB

Dale’s love for missions came through his first Bible study in the book of Acts. He became convinced that God’s best gifts are people, and that God calls people to give themselves for the building of His kingdom around the world. Dale was a missionary in Uganda (2001–2011). He led two missionary teams that discipled leaders in various fields including: business as mission, medical missions, therapy, primary and secondary education, agriculture, theological education, campus ministry, and tribal reconciliation. He has successfully helped missionaries from nine countries develop cross-cultural ministries within African organizational structures.
