Meet the Coaching Team
The Media to Movements Coaching Team is made up of disciple-makers from a wide range of missional organizations and movement networks. We are passionate about Jesus, movements and media. But mostly Jesus.
Amber
Amber is a passionate disciple-maker with over 15 years of cross-cultural experience, particularly in North Africa. She empowers the Media to Movements (MTM) team to achieve key milestones and fulfill their mission. Really good coffee, belly laughing and creative solutions make her happy! Her top two favorite coaching topics are: partnership development and digital filtering.
Frank
Frank is an Ezra 7:10 guy—study, practice and then pass it on to others. With his family, he lived in a UPG country for 12 years and then studied media in movements in academia and then in the “school of hard knocks.” When things get overwhelming, he reverts to his farmer background and goes to clear some fields until God gives him fresh ideas. He coaches field teams post-launch toward movement activities.
Phil
While Phil ran from Jesus during college, Jesus sprinted faster. Carrying Phil on his shoulders, Jesus took Felipe to a software company to develop marketing skills. Today Phil joins Jesus in helping disciple makers to walk with God in prayer and find people of peace through media. Phil loves trying new foods, playing volleyball or tennis and smiles wide when enjoying contagious giggles from his wife and kids.
Dustin
Fueled by the passion to make Jesus known among the unreached, Dustin and his wife spent three years in NYC working among the West Africa Diaspora and over three years overseas applying his skills in graphic design learning, implementing and helping others with their media strategies. When Dustin is not designing, you might find him playing board or video games, exploring the majestic outdoors, doing CrossFit or playing Barbies with his daughter.
Lauren
Driven by the desire to see the Great Commission fulfilled in her lifetime, Lauren's heart is to accelerate Spirit led disciple making movements among the least reached. Her family spent three years serving a diaspora UPG and later moved overseas. There, she gained practical Media to Movements experience and assisted in the development of Kingdom.Training and Disciple.Tools. Lauren now serves as a Pre-Launch coach but she also enjoys Marvel movies and researching her ancestry.

Our growing MTM network of Kingdom-minded workers is and has crossed denominational, organizational and cultural barriers.
