ABOUT LCCTI
MINISTRY EXPERIENCE - From 1975 to 1989, my family and I lived in Kenya, East Africa. As a pioneer church planter, I worked among two tribal groups, the Pokot and the Turkana, in the desert northwest. During our time in Africa, 13 churches and a Bible Institute was established and we produced a three-year study curriculum in Swahili. I continue to work in Kenya training nationals as missionaries to serve in other regions of Africa.
From 1989 to 2003, I served as Vice President for Intercultural Training for United World Mission. I founded and established the Center for Intercultural Training, training over 400 hundred missionaries from 20 different mission agencies.
In 2003, Lewis Cross-Cultural Training, Inc. was formed. A certified 501(c)3 non-profit organization, LCCTI is a training-at-large organization. Most of our work is that of non-resident missionary, partnering with national pastors and leaders in formal and non-formal teaching.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE - International Trainer/Consultant in now over 50 countries; adjunct professor in Africa and Asia; area of expertise is in intercultural studies, cultural anthropology, cross-cultural communication, scripture and anthropology, and conflict resolution.
