Lori's background came from the corporate world, worked in security consulting for 14 years before transferring to full-time ministry. After being saved, she moved overseas where she could execute those skills in a strategic place for the Gospel. Working in a 99% Muslim context, work and faith intersected often, and by his grace, saw people in the workplace come to faith in Christ, which was her greatest joy. Unexpectedly had to return home in 2018, and began her favorite job yet as Director of Sending at the Summit Church, where she gets to again join those consulting skills alongside sending people! She oversees International missions, North American Church Planting and Local Outreach currently for the Summit. As far as downtime, life is spent with her Frenchie pup, Habibi, and decompressing through taking on complex cooking challenges!
