Global Leadership Development

Tim and Dawn Patterson have spent the majority of their lives in ministry. Before joining GLINTS in 2011, they served with Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) for 36 years, living in California, Germany and Moscow. Their ministry involved Bible study initiatives, supporting CRU personnel, and helping establish a Christian international school in Moscow.

The Pattersons are now based in Northfield, Minnesota where they lead local Bible studies. Tim manages a website, https://b-study.expertlearning.net/, which provides resources for studying the Bible individually or as a group, including study guides and quizzes he has written. They have also volunteered at the European Leadership Forum (ELF) since 2016, assisting yearly in Poland and providing long-distance mentoring of European leaders throughout the year. Tim and Dawn are also involved with member care for GLINTS staff and volunteer with practical needs and prayer at Whispers of Hope, a Christian counseling and retreat center for women in Minnesota.

Having the distinction of being GLINTS’s first global staff members, Tim and Dawn see the advantage being on staff at GLINTS, which has given them flexibility and freedom in their ministry. The Pattersons have four adult children and six grandchildren.

Please pray for wisdom for Tim and Dawn in their lives and ministry, including the ability to manage their time well for both ministry and family. Pray that they would continue to bear fruit and be good stewards of God’s Word as well as ministry opportunities He initiates.
