Description
Joel's dream is to see Christ's words "I will build my church" come to life by the church engaging and changing the world. For ten years, Joel pastored Faith Tabernacle, a large, multi-cultural urban ministry, and integrated the building of a local church and leading global initiatives into one cohesive vision. Today he uses this experience, as a speaker and consultant, to help churches design strategic "church-centered" approaches to their mission vision. Joel works with local churches as diverse as Saddleback Church and Willow Creek Community Church to underground Chinese churches and Muslim churches in the Arab world. Based out of Chicago, his work in strategic design and global brokering provides the rare opportunity to see and learn what God is doing through churches in more then 100 countries.
