Drs. Jim and Lui Whelchel serve with Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) in Manila, Philippines. They are involved in equipping Christian leaders to help fulfill the Great Commission of Christ.

For many years Jim and Lui have invested in the development of national Christian leaders in Asia, first through Cru's Great Commission Training Centers, and for more than 20 years through the International Graduate School of Leadership. In addition to holding various leadership positions in the school, Jim helped develop Foundations for Christian Leadership, which has equipped more than 10,000 pastors and church leaders throughout Asia. 

Lui helped develop the Partners in Ministry program for wives which has also expanded to equip hundreds of women worldwide. She also developed and was program director for IGSL's MA in Transformational Teaching and Learning. 

More recently, Jim and Lui have been part of Cru's Global Church Movements team. They helped develop a church multiplication process (called MC2) that is being used in over 140 countries to build movements of multiplying churches.

They are also part of the leadership of Christ's Commission Fellowship (CCF), a megachurch of over 120,000 weekly attendees centered in the Philippines and but with satellites around the world. Their personal discipleship chain includes over 2000 members in over 10 generations. Jim serves as an elder and missions pastor. 

At present they are part of a partnership between Cru and CCF to build multiplying church movements in Asia. Networks they help coach and resource have seen tens of thousands of churches and small groups of multiplying disciples established around the world, in many cases among people and in areas where previously no churches existed. 

Jim and Lui have two children, Michael (married to Angel), and Sharon (married to Josh Thompson), through whom they have two adorable grandchildren, Owen and Emery.

For more than 40 years God has faithfully provided for their needs through committed partners like you. If you would like to join their financial support team, please click on the "Give a Gift" box and be a part of helping equip leaders to impact the world for Christ!
