Senior Advisors
We at YECA have always been keenly aware that we do not do this work alone, but instead stand on the shoulders of innumerable leaders and experts who have committed their lives to the work of patient and prophetic witness.
There are incredible gifts present within the evangelical community, and YECA has benefited greatly from relationships senior faith leaders.
As part of our Senior Advisors Initiative, these individuals commit to praying for us and working with us to advance our mission, strengthen our strategy and reach our goals.
