In May, we are excited that many of Christ Church's global mission partners will be visiting us for our annual Global Missions Conference! Over the course of two evening services and a luncheon, attendees will have special opportunities to engage directly with our mission partners, learning about their vital work and the diverse communities they serve.
In addition to these interactions, we are thrilled to welcome our guest speaker, Jim Ramsay, from TMS Global, who will share with us his expertise and passion for mission work.

About Our Guest Speaker

Jim Ramsay – President & CEO, TMS Global
Prior to becoming president in 2024, Jim served TMS Global for nearly 18 years in various leadership roles in the area of global operations. This included oversight of cross-cultural witnesses, training, member care, and mobilization. He continues to be deeply engaged in mission training and with connecting TMS Global with international mission leaders.
He and his family served for 10 years as missionaries in Kazakhstan, where he was part of a church-planting team and directed a school operated by the mission. There, he discipled young people who now live out their faith in their communities and churches around the world.
