Manager of Canadian Partnerships
I love the alignment that I see at HFL between the mission of providing for physical and spiritual hunger, and the calling to discipleship and empowerment that I have found in my own life. I love that I can serve in this way, contributing to building thriving global communities with the abilities God has given me.
God led Jesse to HFL in 2024 after he completed his degree at Columbia Bible College. The mission of HFL is to support leaders to cultivate spiritual vibrancy and human flourishing, and Jesse holds high value for pursuing this mission. He has led teams to serve alongside HFL’s international partners and assist in the projects they support. Jesse also works directly with several international partners, helping to develop and implement project and missions plans. He works with partners in Cambodia, Mexico, and the Middle East.
Jesse and his wife Alli live in Chilliwack, BC and loves the variety of outdoor activities that are so close at hand in the Fraser Valley, from rock climbing to paddling. When they are not exploring creation, Jesse's likely spending time with friends, taking pictures or reading something that sparks his imagination.
