Jon and Lindsay Birkey
God first called us to Arizona to share the love of Christ with Native American children through camping ministry. In 2019, God put on our hearts to use our administrative talents as the Chief Program Officer at the Christian Community Center in Peoria, AZ.
The Christian Community Center partners with like-minded organizations to serve at-risk youth and young adults, primarily around the foster and adoptive community. We aim to meet physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs through life skills training, housing, spiritual care, counseling, and a safe and loving community.
In January of 2022, Jon took on the role of Area Team Leader (ATL) for Southwest Ministries. He leads the missionary staff for both the Native American ministries and Christian Community Center, and Stockton, CA. The ATL oversees the administration responsibilities of the field, leads the team in developing ministry strategies, and develops partnerships with other ministries to enhance Southwest Ministries kingdom impact.
