Dave Blundell

Dave gives leadership to the organization with the Board of Directors and through the Sr. Leadership Team. His main responsibilities include: vision champion, partnership development, resource development, staff leadership and development, motivating, and representing the organization.

“I am so broken by the spiritual poverty in the Western Church and the extreme poverty and suffering in the developing world. Therefore, I am passionate about disturbing the comfortable and comforting the disturbed.”

Dave graduated from Canadian Bible College in 1994 with a Bachelor of Theology and immediately started serving in a Christian & Missionary Alliance Church as Youth Pastor. After being ordained in 1998, he served at Chilliwack Alliance Church until 2000. In 2000, Dave transitioned out of church ministry when he started work as the Director of Global Operations for Global Aid Network (GAiN), the humanitarian arm of Campus Crusade for Christ, Canada. In 2003, Dave left the GAiN to begin Hungry For Life International. In these roles he has led relief and development teams and projects in various countries in South America, Africa, Central & South East Asia, and the Middle East. Dave also holds a Masters of Arts in International Non-Profit Leadership from Trinity Western University.

Dave was married to Heidi in 1997 and has two children, Caleb (b. 1998) and Abby (b. 1999). In addition to serving and leading at HFL, Dave loves to hang out with his family as well as read, write, and coach baseball. Dave and Heidi are also involved in leadership among a network of House Churches.
