She serves with Resonate Global Mission, working with the Comunidad de Estudios Teológicos Interdisciplinarios (ceticontinental.org), coordinating the Networking Team of INFEMIT (infemit.org), and furthering missional leadership formation processes with the Christian Reformed Church of North America. She serves on the board of the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies. She lives with her husband, James, in Costa Rica as a member of Casa Adobe, an intentional Christian community with a deep concern for right living in relation to the whole of creation (casaadobe.org).
