Legacy with DAI
Build up the global church by investing in servant leaders
Christie and I are incredibly grateful for your partnership all these years. On the eve of our retirement, would you consider a last gift to one of these important projects?
1) DAI’s Ministry Center in Haiti
Lasting peace will come to Haiti only through capable servant leaders who put the interests of their people first. Partner with the courageous work of Director Enel Angervil and his team to invest in the future of this wonderful country. Our goal is to raise $60,000 for DAI Haiti.
2) DAI’s Ministry Center in Sri Lanka
DAI Lanka, which Christie and I also played a role in launching, is doing incredible work around the island. Top Christian leaders are equipped through DAI’s master’s program, youth are trained to be future leaders, and rural pastors are empowered with leadership workshops. Help us raise $40,000 to support Pastor Kendall and his team through local economic difficulties.
3) Borthwick travel fund for future DAI travel
This fund would help us make international ministry trips to serve the DAI family and represent DAI in larger global contexts like the Lausanne Movement, the World Evangelical Alliance, and more. Our 2025 goal for this project is $10,000, which could last us into 2026.
Together we are transforming communities by training and equipping Christian leaders around the world.
